Your so lucky to have flown on the 787! I loved your video! Keep up the AMAZING work! :)

[@NowGetThere]

Yeah the Boeing Dreamliner 787-9 is an amazing aircraft. I am patiently waiting till I can fly again. Then more reviews will be made.

[@MadeiraAirport]

Really nice flight review, great video!

Great video and explanation. A few comments if I may as I have been through both airports transferring/deplaning/emabarking and changing terminals domestic and to Narita/HDA vv round 90 times and both have their advantages and NH flies to DLC in China form Narita so the SYD connection rquires a bus or train between airports. Both are convenient and of course downtown from Narita 65 min on the train and HDA closer but on one occasion using public transport to HDA I had baggage for once and a little inconvenient solo on monorail etc but expected that but of course both airlines have superb ground services and attitudes as displayed by you and I believe she may have noticed your QF Platinum upon checking in. Years ago Emeralds did not get express pass immigration but that was rectified by JAL. Cannot speak highly enough about all their ground services (JL and NH) and many instances where they went beyond call of duty to help and as NH Diamond was extraordinary especially bagggeg allowances in F class. In DLC they even called me at my office to tell me my points were expitring and to book a flight so as not to lose my points. The ground manager escorts Dianond members onto planes as do Shenzhen Airlines. All in all airlines in Japan and all their asscoaietd services and personnel world class. It makes traveling just a little easier. Happy and safe travels to everyone.

[@NowGetThere]

Thanks of the comment. Japan gives some of the best service in the world, not just in airports. I am heading back to Japan in July. Been over 3 years since my last visit. Can't wait. Will be flying through many airports there, Haneda, Naha, Ishigaki, Kagoshima and Nagasaki.

[@craigwillis3372]

Thanks for a great review of a great airline. You have to admire how well they do thins and so customer focused . Cannot wait to fly them soon...depending on the Virus...uuughhh ! Well done as always mate and thanks again !!!

[@NowGetThere]

Yep Japan Airlines definitely have excellent service. You get such good service in Japan and their airline is no different. Japan fairing quite well against the virus compared to other countries! I am supposed to go back their in May so I got my fingers crossed too.

[@isaacfung622]

Love 🇯🇵 hospitality

[@NowGetThere]

Oh yes. 🇯🇵 sure does have some of the best hospitality. It is ingrained in their culture.

[@roddy222]

Great video. Haven't flown with JAL but would love to try. I think the service would be outstanding. Cheers.

[@NowGetThere]

You should! The service on JAL is exceptional. True Japanese hospitality and some of the best food in the skies.

[@emmo_93]

Great vid!

[@NowGetThere]

Thanks

[@TripReportaviation]

great review! Food looks good

[@NowGetThere]

Thank you 😋 Oh yes the food on Japan Airlines is very good

[@goldenking3073]

Can I buy the Japanese snack in Tokyo airport and take them into Australia. I don’t know if foreign food can enter Australia or not?

[@NowGetThere]

You can take some food into Australia except for things like fresh fruit, meat and seafood. Snack food should be ok

[@varunagoonasekera7329]

There cannot be western chefs living in Tokyo just cooking western style meals for Japan airlines. The chefs have to be Japanese. The meals that you had on this flight and which you showed in your video seemed delectable. Even if the meals does not fully taste like western but it's appetizing, the food should be consumed. All chefs have different styles of cooking food. You cannot have simple meals in business class because this is the upgraded version of the economy class. You or someone have paid for the business class service. Thanks for your video.

[@NowGetThere]

I would say they were Japanese chefs preparing the Western meals as it was heavily Japanese influenced. I will stick to the Japanese food on Japan Airlines as it was outstanding.

[@varunagoonasekera7329]

@@NowGetThere Thank you for your reply. I would just like to add that Japan airlines recently won awards for the world's best economy class service and best economy class in asia. Qantas airways also won an award for the best business class flying to Australia, New Zealand, and the south pacific. Other Oneworld alliance members also won awards. All the Best to you. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2022 !!

[@lisahall9586]

Great flight review as always Scott. Shame you didn't film a landing into Sydney.

[@NowGetThere]

Thanks. Hard to film a landing from the aisle seat! I didn't get to book my seat before the flight so got stuck with the aisle.

[@lisahall9586]

@@NowGetThere fair enough.

[@stenhard61.46.1]

Where do I start? 1. G'Day!? According to the latest linguistic surveys, this phase is stereotypically used by non-Australians who believe it is widely used which it certainly isn't. I have heard military mid ranks using this phrase. Can you indicate where you might have picked it up? 2. Haneda is pronounced Ha-Nay-Da not Ha-Nee-Da. 3. Ramen is pronounced Ra-Men not Ram-N. All vowels are pronounced. 4. The Indicator Board at Haneda changed, of course, from Japanese to Romaji not English. People who don't speak a word of English can still read it because it is written in Romaji (Roman Letters). 5. (Maison) Kitsune. Again the letter E is always pronounced AY so Ki-Tsu-Nay would be correct. I must also comment that you have a very good voice. The beautiful controlled baritone is very pleasant to listen to!

[@NowGetThere]

I was born and raised in Australia. Gday is a very common greeting. Usually Gday mate! With different inflections on the mate whether is a a real friend, a stranger or someone starting a fight in the bar.

[@stenhard61.46.1]

@@NowGetThere I am Australian too and I don't agree and neither does the internet. I have noticed that antique expressions hold on longer in remote areas or in some occupational ideolects which is why I wondered about where you found it. I can't find one person I know you would use it except jokingly.

[@lxqGO]

I'm a bit confused. I lived in Queensland and everyone I met/interacted with used it. We use it in New Zealand a lot too.

[@stenhard61.46.1]

@@lxqGO Maybe that's what the survey shows. I live in Sydney and we just don't hear it or use it except maybe in far western suburbs sometimes but even there it's rare. QLD has always been rather "special" tho!

[@anjanigopal6140]

Can you make some flight reviews onboard Jetstar Pacific and Jetstar Japan and more onboard Jetstar Asia and Australia

[@NowGetThere]

Check through my channel, I have flight reviews for Jetstar Asia, Jetstar Australia and Jetstar Pacific. I have not flown on Jetstar Japan but after this pandemic i'll be back in Japan and will fly with them then

[@Taffeyboy]

If you don’t wish to wander through an airport for 10 minutes, skip ahead to 10 minutes in to learn about the 787-9 Business Class.

[@NowGetThere]

Good advice. I think in future I will put time marks so people can skip to the sections they are interested in

[@Travelinmy50s]

Should have shown the japanese whiskey location and what they had. I know I'd watch a review of whiskey/bourbon shop locations in Japan.

[@NowGetThere]

Yeah sorry I should have filmed the Japanese whiskey. You can only get 2 or 3 types of Japanese whiskey at the Duty free stores. Japanese Whiskey is so popular in Japan most stock goes to the domestic market. I got a very nice bottle of Nikka Whiskey for 5000 Yen around A$70. Very nice decorative bottle with Samurai helmet and armour. Haven't cracked it open yet to try it

[@NowGetThere]

Wow I just looked up the price of the Nikka Whiskey I bought in a Sydney bottle shop. $399! I got a good bargain!

[@isaacfung622]

Do u prefer JL/NH/JQ/QF if flying between 🇯🇵 and 🇦🇺?

[@NowGetThere]

That is a tough one to answer in just a short answer. So here is the shortest I could think off. I love flying so i am not too concerned on which airline I fly with. Yes I have my favourites but I will choose an airline based on: price Departure and arrival time Frequent flyer points and status If I am going on holidays and not in a rush then I am happy to go on the budget airline Jetstar but not direct flight from Sydney. Goes via Gold Coast or Cairns. If I am not in a rush then I am happy to take an indirect route. It has been more than 20 years since I have flown with ANA. They are high on my list of airlines to try again soon. They have won so many awards recently so I want to try them. Japan Airlines is a great airline. Great service, great food and I earn Qantas frequent flyer points. I am sure I will fly with them again. Last flight was with them in February on their B787-9. Great aircraft, awesome flying experience. I have mostly flown with Qantas between Sydney and Qantas. I loved flying on the B747-400 as it has always been my favourite aircraft to fly on. They may be retired but that will always be the Queen of the Sky. Now Qantas will use their Dreamliner B787-9 to fly between Sydney and Tokyo so I am keen to try that product.
