United Club Lounge and In-Flight Meals - My Japan Travel

United Airlines Flight from Los Angeles to Tokyo

My husband and I flew to Tokyo from Los Angeles in November, 2022.

We Used Miles to Book Airline Tickets!

This time, we used airline miles to book United Airlines tickets for our first time. In order to get a round trip ticket from Los Angeles to Tokyo, you need at least 70,000 United Mileage miles. The easiest way to earn United Mileage miles is credit card welcome bonus, which is opening an United credit card and reaching the minimum spending requirement. I opened United Explorer MileagePlus credit card and spent over $3,000 with using the credit card in three months after opening it, and I earned over 70,000 miles. If you are interested in United MileagePlus credit cards, here is my referral link.

United Club Lounge at LAX

Because I opened the United Explorer MileagePlus credit card, I received two United Club one-time passes, which allow you to access United Club Lounge. That's why we decided to go to United Club lounge for our first time. If you don't have the pass, you can purchase a one-time pass for $59 per person to access the lounge.

After scanning United Club one-time passes at the entrance, we entered United Club Lounge. This lounge is clean and spacious. It has a bar you can order alcohol. It also has outdoor terrace spaces.

By the way, at this lounge, my husband was purchasing eSIM we would use in Japan. This time, he chose Airalo (Japan 2GB 15 Days Plan for $6.50) and it was perfect for our Japan travel. If you are looking for affordable eSIM for traveling abroad, I recommend you to try Airalo to save money. Here is my referral link of Airalo. You can enjoy $3 off your first eSIM purchase using my link.

United Airlines In-Flight Meal

The First In-Fight Meal (LAX to Tokyo)

When it comes to in-flight meals, I prefer Japanese airlines such as ANA and JAL. We've always chosen economy class seats, but ANA and JAL served pretty good meals during flights from Japan. This time, we chose United Airlines economy class seats, and I expected that the flight meals would be very American.

The Second In-Fight Meal (LAX to Tokyo)

I regretted that I had chosen this American waffle which was excessively sweet to me.

The First In-Flight Meal (Tokyo to LAX)

The flight from Tokyo to Los Angeles, we enjoyed this daifuku, which is mochi filled with sweetened red bean paste.

The First In-Flight Meal (Tokyo to LAX)

The chicken katsu curry was not too shabby. 😋

The Second In-Flight Meal (Tokyo to LAX)

　 It was an ordinary breakfast, omelette, sausage, and hush browns.

The Second In-Flight Meal (Tokyo to LAX)

My husband chose yakisoba noodles for breakfast. 😆 We could have some Japanese foods during flights from Tokyo.

During our long flights, I could sleep pretty well. My husband told me that I was only awake during meal times. 😴 After arriving Tokyo, we headed toward Ikebukuro. I will write about hotels we stayed in Tokyo next time.
