I can't believe you just took one plane down, had lunch at the airport, and then headed back home!! "Jet-Setter STJ," LOL!! Love ya for it!! Beautiful sunset above the clouds.

Can we mention how lovely the first pilot's English is? His speech and pronounciation are outstanding!

@notaccel Ай бұрын

I wonder if the pilot often is in Australia (or flies Jetstar in Australia) as Jetstar are one of the airlines common in Australia too.

I know all this is “work” for you, so I’m curious where you would go for vacation. You’re always on the go - which is a real benefit for viewers because we get to learn so much. But it’s got to be exhausting.

I'm shocked at how inexpensive the airport meals are! In the USA would be 4-5 times that much for inferior quality. So envious of the train system and now of airports. 😊

a bottle of water at the naha airport is only 130 yen which is .86 usd and you can take it with you thru security and onto the flight

Yeah, airport food here is ridiculous. They know they have a captive customer, so they mark the prices way up.

Same here in Australia they're outrageously priced. Also can't believe the voucher for being late for departure .. here it's just suck it up. Like the under carriage view of the night landing at Haneda. Bushyboy Oz.

I have just returned to Australia from 2 weeks in Okinawa, I was very impressed with the airport, on arrival I took a bus to Senagajima for a hot spring soak, just perfect after the long trip. I went back there later in the trip and watched the sunset whilst soaking in a hot spring bath, absolutely magical!

@mattraschke2889 3 ай бұрын

As an Australian I fly Jetstar a lot, both domestically and internationally (Hawaii, Japan, NZ) and don't think they deserve the criticism they get. It's so funny that your budget flight was on time and your $$$ flight was delayed. Thanks for sharing!

@marcd6897 3 ай бұрын

to be fair, the low cost flight departed fairly early in the day while the JAL flight was in the afternoon. Early morning flights, in particular domestic flights, tend to be more on time in contrast to afternoon flights where delays can easily be accumulated by the number of rotations the plane already had on the day.

@StacyL. 3 ай бұрын

I just can't get over how much the typical Japanese person eats in the morning! It seems like every solo travel channel i watch, they have 3 or 4 plates of food before they are done. I can eat two eggs and one slice of toast and a coffee and be full until mid afternoon.

@xdarkeagle17x 3 ай бұрын

The people on these channels are definitely not typical, I don't know what it is about travel KZfaqrs and big appetites. But most Japanese people I know don't have much of an appetite in the morning (though I think it varies a lot person to person). Most people are not gonna get the double-size breakfast!

From my experience with both Narita and Haneda, the airport shops, vending machines and even restaurants are really cheap. Especially when you compare them to European airports. A bottle of water is 1 euro (140 yen) at a vending machine in Narita, whilst it's 3-4 euro (500 yen) in Frankfurt or Amsterdam. Duty free items are cheap too in japanese airports. Sometimes cheaper than tourist areas in Tokyo or Kyoto 😂.

@jeremyforino2933 3 ай бұрын

Everything is so inexpensive in Japanese airports. I am so jealous. We took this route in 2019. Okinawa was so worth the trip. We're going to do it again when we go back. Once the over-tourism calms down a little.

What a world of difference the airbus was compared to the 737. The airbus was the lexus and the 737 was the 1973 volkswagen beetle
