Prologue:

This time, I won’t be flying with MS or TG to get back, I wanted to experience a truly 5* airline. Will NH deliver its promises ? Read on !

I arrived in the airport 3:30 prior to departure. I do some spotting first before heading to the check-in counter and collect my boarding pass.

As expected the agent is professional and smiling and we had a laugh about my journey..

A good way to see where you are and if the seat suits you.

    Hi there Thomas!

    "This time, I won’t be flying with MS or TG to get back,"
    - Now you got my attention. :P I guess it's true - variety is the spice of life. ha ha.

    "Once again I go to UA Club lounge to work and have few bites."
    - You didn't want to visit the NH lounge and have some "made to order" ramen or curry rice?

    "The king seat ! Adan ??"
    - What is a king without his throne? ;)


    "The footrest is not that narrow."
    - I like your summer style :P

    "Happy guy !"
    - You could be the poster guy for happiness. ;)

    "The main event !!! Freaking awesome !"
    - This whole meal looks flawless! What an amazing presentation and each course is so enticing. Just wow!!!!

    "I could not pass up that lovely taste."
    - I don't blame you, I would have done the same.

    I don't know if this is true or not but I've heard that Japanese pax tend to prefer NH over the more established competitor. Regardless of which one you choose you can almost be guaranteed a great experience with any Japanese carrier.

    I have flown JL in all cabins and that is hard to beat, but now I'm tempted to give NH a try. Hopefully one of these days.

    Thanks for sharing this lovely and amazing TR with fantastic plane spotting and pics.

    Many thanks Adan.
    No NH lounge this time.
    You could be the poster guy for happiness. ;) = Onlu for singel women ;)
    You should give NH a try !
    Cheers,

    Merci pour ce TR

    " expérimenter une vraie 5*"
    Je pensais plutôt à Air India

    "GG merci d'en laisser aux autres !"
    Tu n'imagines pas de quoi je suis capable ;)

    "J'aime bien l’idée d'une fenêtre dans les wc."
    Dommage qu'elle ne s'ouvre pas

    "Je suis assez heureux ;)"
    Normal! Perrier c'est fou

    "Le plat était succulent."
    Quel était la cuisson de la viande ?

    "Un peu en retrait par rapport au reste. Il y a un intrus !"
    Delichoc what else

    "Je ne suis pas un grand fan de la cuisine Japonaise (GG encore debout sur ta chaise ?)"
    Il fallait reprendre un Wagyu

    "Je recommande vivement NH, l’équipage était fantastique. Le repas était tout aussi excellent."
    Alors pourquoi ne pas avoir renouvelé l'expérience avec NH ?

    A bientôt

    Bien sympathique l'agente à l'enregistrement :)

    A bord, cela doit te changer de MS lol
    Un très bon vol à bord d'un appareil de dernière génération, un équipage pro et une bonne nourriture.
    De quoi être heureux ;)

    A bientôt .

    Salut Thomas et merci pour ce TR!
    Tu as voulu changer un peu de MS et tu as bien fait pour notre plus grand plaisir! Franchement une belle prestation et un catering d'enfer! Le seul faux pas est peut-être le casque de l'IFE s'il faut en trouver un!
    Merci pour ce partage!
