As usual, excellent vid. Oh, I love Hokkaido, its seafood, the dairy products, the chocolate (Royce chocolates to be precise), onsens, etc. And Sapporo Classic (beer), which BTW, is only available in Hokkaido. And a can of Yebisu for your lunch is quite decent. I give you props for not including the faces of flight attendants, passengers, and people in general in all your vids. Many Japanese when they create vids are careful to not include the faces of strangers as a common, polite and respectful courtesy. If a face happens to be in a vid, it's purposely made hazy to protect the person's identity. As for the exterior views, I noticed the giant cranes adjacent to New Chitose where a new computer microchip factory is under construction. And the views of the Northern Japan Alps behind Toyama on approach to Komatsu are spectacular. Thx for an excellent and scenic vid.

We flew CTS - FUK premium class on an ANA 772 in March with exactly the same seat. There is an updated version of this seat on newer (or is that less older) 772’s and 787’s. As expected cabin service, drinks and food were exemplary, but I still felt JAL’s first class service is just slightly better.

The disparity in fleet sizes is probably because J-Air, JAC, RAC, and HAC, JAL's regional subsidiaries, are not counted. ANA's regional subsidiary, ANA Wings, however, is usually counted in the fleet size.

Why does Japanese airlines have (relatively) standard pricing for domestic flights vs variable pricing being the norm for most other airlines? And how much longer does ANA plan to keep their 767s?

@tfft 27 күн бұрын

Becuase Japanese airlines realize if they want to compete with the Shinkansen, they need to look at themselves as a form of public transport. Part of the Japanese travel culture includes walking up and buying a ticket on the spot for trains and flights. If they had dynamic pricing, they'd lose the majority of what's left of their marketshare to the Shinkansen.

@magnustan841 27 күн бұрын

Regarding the 767s, probably longer than you might think. ANA and JAL got some brand new 767s in the late 2000s, early 2010s, I believe as compensation from Boeing, due to delays in 787 certification. So most of their 767s are around 10-15 years old, they could go on for another 5 years easily. They’re quite the domestic workhorses for both ANA and JAL.

@MrTomcat104 27 күн бұрын

@@tfft Yeah, I suspect the Shinkansen is involved. Although that would also depend on the specific Shinkansen route. The Tokyo to Osaka route would be highly competitive with airlines. But a longer distance Shinkansen route, say from Tokyo to Sapporo, airlines would be more competitive given the time factor.

@MrTomcat104 26 күн бұрын

@@magnustan841 Interesting, I do like the 767s. You see fewer and fewer of them in North America. United and Delta still have them, but I don't know for how much longer, since they are pretty old planes now for those US carriers. I guess ANA and JAL may well be the last stronghold for the 767.
