ANA to increase Narita–San Jose frequency

All Nippon Airways (ANA) has announced that it will increase the Dreamliner service between Narita, Tokyo and San Jose from five a week to daily starting July 10. The aircraft, configured with 46 business and 112 economy seats (for a review of economy, click here), departs Narita at 1735 and arrives in San Jose at 1110 local time. The return flight leaves at 1305 and lands in Narita at 1610 the next day. The increase is due to the growth in demand for flights connecting Asia and North America. ANA began resumption of Dreamliner services on June 1 (see story here), and has since re-launched daily flights between Narita and Beijing, and a twice daily Haneda and Songshan, Taipei service. The airline also plans to use the aircraft three times daily between Narita and Pudong, Shanghai from August 1 onwards. The B787 will replace the B767 and B777-200ER currently used on this route, but the schedule will remain the same. For more information, visit www.ana.co.jp Valerian Ho
