V-TRIP (Virtual Travel) – Explore anywhere, anytime!
Accessible via smartphone, the V-TRIP feature allows users to embark on a 360° virtual travel experience to ANA-recommended destinations. From the comfort of their home, passengers can see historical architecture, and panoramic views of each destination are highlighted, accompanied by a unique V-GUIDE, offering insights into the history and trivia of each location.
