• Peking duck at Made in China in the Grand Hyatt
• Hand pulled noodles at Noodle Bar inside 1949

Mileage:

• 17,804 miles or 5.2 cents per mile. ANA is a member of the Star Alliance and United Partner. This fare earns 100% mileage for the transpacific segments and 50% for the segments between Japan and China. Crediting with United will earn 16,484 miles or 5.5 cents per mile. This is still better than crediting to ANA directly which would result in only a 25% mileage credit.
