| MNL → NRT (Tokyo Narita) | ~7 | 4.3 | Daily, transpacific connections |

Para sa balikbayan, NRT-JFK ay competitive transpacific option; HND-LAX newer route is strong para sa US West Coast Filipino diaspora.
OFW program
All Nippon Airways has no formal OFW program — Japan corridor para sa kabayan ay regulated under TITP/SSW/student visa frameworks, not DMW-OFW classification. Standard 23 kg economy with no uplift. AMC (ANA Mileage Club) ay valuable kapag may collected miles ka sa Singapore Airlines, Lufthansa, Thai, EVA, United, Air Canada — strong Star Alliance ecosystem para sa balikbayan na frequent flyer. ANA is among the most reliable carriers globally — best on-time performance among Asia-Pacific full-service airlines, low cancellation rate. For professional Filipino in Japan (engineers, IT specialists, healthcare workers under EPA, factory specialists), ANA HND ay particularly convenient — closer to central Tokyo than Narita. Wala pong Tagalog crew standard, pero English announcements at international-grade service throughout.
