Flying ANA First Class on the Boeing 777-300ER from Tokyo to Chicago was one of those once-in-a-lifetime experiences I’ll never forget. From the calm of the ANA Suite Lounge to the incredibly spacious seat, personalised service, and exceptional in-flight dining, everything felt thoughtful and quietly luxurious. It was the kind of flight that makes you appreciate every minute in the air.

A last-minute decision to visit Australia turned into one of my most comfortable long-haul flights yet thanks to United Polaris Business Class. From a relaxing shower and restaurant-style dining at the Polaris Lounge to a spacious lie-flat seat onboard the Boeing 787-9, the journey from San Francisco to Melbourne felt smooth, quiet, and surprisingly restful. It was the perfect way to start an adventure in Australia.
