I am a ground support working at Osaka International Airport. Thank you so much for flying with ANA and taking this wonderful video.

[@JO-nh6mo]

Thank you to all the "invisible" ground staff, working in baggage transport, ramp handling, cleaning, fueling, security!! Without you, no flights!!

[@Remaining1]

u guys always wave at the passengers when the plane leaves, its so nice

[@k1mgy]

When I see the crews and ground support bow to the passengers arriving and departing, it reminds me of just how special Japan and ANA are. Thank you for your hard work!

Hi and thank you!! I always wave back from the airplane. Truly appreciate y'all!

OMG that handwritten note was so friggin adorable edit: that alone would make it the best airline out there

[@KTHR56]

Honestly, this trip report was very cool. I’ve never seen domestic service in Japan before. I really enjoyed all the facts and information about how the system works there, not to mention the crew! What amazing people. Japan is on my list of places to explore, and now I think I’ll be flying and taking the bullet train while I’m there.

[@brentsutherland6385]

The price of a Rail Pass is going up, so the flights might actually be cheaper.

[@kelvinc]

Wasn't expecting a full narrated video for a Dash 8 flight, but how fun! 😊

[@chudobaphilip]

Probably on of the best trip reports I have ever seen. Not because of the service, not because of the aircraft, but because of the fun facts! :D

[@ZAClimbingNoutdoors]

This morning I decided to watch one of their silent videos from years ago. I just couldn’t watch it! These videos are a lot more entertaining but it’s a shame most of the videos I want to watch are all old ones

Japan is the most civilized country in the world and this video confirms it!

[@schalitz1]

Not 100% sure about that. Have you ever seen the South Park episode about them killing dolphins?

[@HappyGM-R]

@@schalitz1 What’s wrong about killing them to eat? It’s not like they are being killed for fun or for skin to be used for fashion as the west has been doing for hundreds of years.

[@manuelvalencia9407]

Yes, this is true. I'm an American who has been living in Japan for almost 20 years. There is so much civility in this country. Yes, there are some instances of rude behavior. I see it on trains (especially on bullet trains). Sometimes I have to travel between Osaka and Tokyo and I'm fine with either form of transportation. People here are definitely civilized. I don't know what I left the last time I was in the US (just recently). The service kind of deteriorated at restaurants and the servers still expected their now 20% tip, unlike in Japan, where tipping is not the custom but still with great service.

[@TGreerTGreer]

I flew ANA's Q-400 a few years ago from Itami to Akita. Being 6'2", I really appreciated the spacious legroom! Also, if you're ever in Itami again, I highly recommend going to the Itami Sky Park, located right next to Runway 32L. The views of the planes taking off are spectacular!

[@danielgloverpiano7693]

I flew on domestic flights in Japan in the late 1980s. It was staggering that they served a meal on a 747 on a flight that couldn’t have been more than two hours. The efficiency is beyond compare. Japan remains perhaps my favorite country to visit. I love everything about it, with the exception of the summer heat. If anyone could invent a way to air condition an entire country outdoors, the Japanese would be the first to figure it out! I’ve seen blocks of ice at subway stations where people would briefly put their heads to cool off! I ❤ Japan! It always feels like I’m stepping back in time when I come back to the US. We are SO far behind with transportation especially.

[@XiongBearTravel]

This is one of the most detailed economy class reviews I have ever watched! Amazing job David as always! Also noticed the kindness of Japanese Airline crews. I remember JAL giving you a similar card and gift in one of your previous videos 😊

[@jamestamu83]

What a beautiful country with wonderful people. That personalized card was amazing! So thoughtful and kind of the crew. Japan looks like a fantastic place to visit, with nice people.

I cannot wait to return this August, where fingers crossed, I will be flying that 514-seat 777-300 from Tokyo to Fukuoka! Sounds crazy, but I can't wait to be in amongst a literal sea of people on a plane!

8:55 I knew Japanese airlines were good, but this right here is a whole new level of consideration for the passenger I almost can't believe is real. This should not be limited to ANA and JAL. This should be law and mandatory for every airline in the world

A great domestic flight review. I’ve taken a many within Japan and the experience is always exceptionally seamless and professional. And, this small point may be hardly noticed by many but I love the pace of your videos. Not overly fast paced and in-your-face but rather relaxing without it losing our attention.

[@aresef]

I only flew one domestic flight last time I was in Japan in 2010. It was on a 737 but they had seatback screens with modest IFE on our way from NRT to Fukuoka. I didn't pay too much attention that or the service or even the sunset, however, since I passed out after my first leg from IAD. The name on the ground reminds me of the prankster who put up a sign saying WELCOME TO LUTON on the approach to London Gatwick.

[@powershin12]

I think you flew in handfull of JAL's international layout 737. Normally those flights were designated to short-haul flights but sometimes they flew domestic routes for rotation.

[@c3aloha]

Wonderful service on ANA. Once my flight was delayed for a Delta connection and they moved me to the front of the aircraft. escorted me for a taxi ride where she told the driver to hayaku to the international terminal all the way to check in. Love the theme music and videos they always play on disembark. It’s soothing. 😅 I want that papercraft ANA airplane!!!

[@stuyoull4333]

These are the type of trip reports that so need a video like this.Japanese hospitality is second to none and as seen in this video the cabin crews do all and above to make a superb passenger experience.Very much like Bangkok Air and dare I say it Delta,which I bloody LOVED

It is so weird and different and beautiful and awesome and strange and lovely and inviting. And the people are also very nice even though it is hard to communicate. Lost in translation captures the feeling about Japan very well. I will go back some day, and then it will be a visit to the North and Okinawa in the South.
