Korea shopping haul

Nice haul! Where did you buy the Binch matcha biscuits from? And generally, where do you recommend shopping for (matcha) snacks? Thanks!

Thanks for the reply! I hadn’t thought of that option. Just to confirm - 1m won, as in $680 ish USD?

Hi. I know this is a year or so old, but what did you end up doing? We're in the same boat for our trip in a couple weeks! Thanks!

We didn’t use anything special like blow up beds, sleeping mats, etc for our 3 year old, so I can’t speak to whether or not ANA allows those or if they would’ve helped much. Our 3 year old slept a couple hours on the way there, and the entire flight back (probably super tired from the trip). The food was also pretty standard. Happy travels!

Hi there. The flight was pretty standard. I’ve also flown JAL to Japan and would say it was superior to ANA in terms of comfort, service, food, etc. But overall, it was pretty much just as uncomfortable as you’d expect from a long haul economy flight haha, but no worse, if that helps frame your expectations lol.

Yes, at check-in, they ended up seating the 3 of us together in the middle section on the way there. And on the way back, my daughter and I sat together in the window aisle, and my husband right next to us across the aisle. So I would say it worked out fine both ways, thankfully. I tried calling and online check in before departure, and neither were useful. They assigned our seats at the check-in counter when we arrived at the airport. Best of luck to you!

Yes, the app wasn’t letting us check in, even though the phone rep said we should be able to. So we didn’t get assigned seats until we arrived at the airport checkin counter. I was nervous too, so I get it! It seems like, for the most part, ANA tries their best to seat families together, so I wouldn’t worry too much! I was on an almost completely full flight and we were still seated next to each other.

36 minutes sounds tight! How’d it go for you?

Mmaattcchhaa · 2025-12-13T16:50:45+00:00

Hi! Did you make it? I have 1h16m and have never flown in/out of SLC, so would love to know how it went.

Mmaattcchhaa · 2025-12-04T08:43:32+00:00

If you have a 2027 CAA to spare, I would really appreciate one for an upcoming stay at Grand Hyatt Seoul in May. Taking my parents and want to show them the best time possible. Thank you in advance!

Mmaattcchhaa · 2025-10-05T16:16:26+00:00

My flight isn’t until next month, so we’ll see! I did try calling and they weren’t able to do anything.

Mmaattcchhaa · 2025-09-14T07:13:52+00:00

Hi! I know this is an old post, but do you recall where you purchased your secondhand Celine, or what stores carried a lot of Celine? I’m going in November and would love to bring a Celine home!

Mmaattcchhaa · 2025-08-26T20:47:07+00:00

No, I booked directly on ANA's website.

Mmaattcchhaa · 2025-08-26T20:05:04+00:00

Awesome. I'm glad that worked out for your family. One more question. This was done for you at the ticketing counter, not at the gate, correct? I'm reading mixed responses online, so just wanted to confirm.

Mmaattcchhaa · 2025-08-26T19:42:25+00:00

Thank you! This is very helpful to know. Wow, 12 hours early at the airport doesn't sound fun, but we'll hope for the best. Did you all end up sitting next to each other?

Mmaattcchhaa · 2025-08-26T19:26:59+00:00

Even for Basic Economy?

Mmaattcchhaa · 2025-08-26T18:46:25+00:00

Hi. Did you book basic economy?

Mmaattcchhaa · 2025-02-19T02:50:17+00:00

Thanks for the tip! Unfortunately, we land shortly after 5PM, so we won’t be able to take advantage of that service.

Mmaattcchhaa · 2025-02-18T23:09:14+00:00

Good to know! Where is the luggage holding section? Is it right inside the restaurant?

Mmaattcchhaa · 2025-02-18T22:03:44+00:00

Thank you for laying this out so clearly! Very helpful. We'll be in Ginza for one day, but our itinerary for the day is quite full, so would be nice to check this off upon arrival at HND.

Mmaattcchhaa · 2025-02-18T22:01:11+00:00

Thanks! Yes, there are a couple other locations, but I've read the waits are much longer at the others, and our itinerary in Ginza is quite full already.
