With the new year comes new beginnings, and though it may still be a little early to think about what you're up to next week let alone January 2012, you better if you want to score a seat on the first international long-haul route of the Boeing 787 Dreamliner.

ANA, launch airline of the Dreamliner who'll put their first one into regular domestic service as soon as the end of this month, have just released tickets for the 787's Tokyo-Haneda to Frankfurt International route, which will begin flying as NH 203 and NH 204 on Saturday, January 21. It's only a thrice-weekly service, so no flying there and right back to experience it; you've actually got to stay a bit in Germany and have a pretzel or two.

Although we've seen all around outside and inside ANA's domestic Dreamliner, we haven't yet peeked into the long-haul version, which will have considerably more Business Class seats. The totals: 46 Business Class and 112 Economy to equal 158 total in the long-haul configuration. If you're curious about this flight, the special ANA 787 website is right here.


Regular service between HND and FRA begins February 1, so of course we checked pricing and dates to see when is the earliest and most affordable time you can do a long-haul roundtrip on the 787? Our results are above, with a departure on NH 203 at 1am on Wednesday February 1, 2011 and returning Sunday February 5, 2011 on NH 204, both confirmed on 787s. The price for economy: JPY114,420 ($1,486.16). In Biz Class, that'll be JPY432,420 ($5,616.57), please.

Oh, and if you're thinking these flights won't sell out, they will. We were in Tokyo around this time last year, and even then the daily news was giving updates on 787 progress. Japan is psyched, and we are too. So...see you at the ticket counter?
