Air travel adventures - Japan edition



Lost (?) at Shin-Chitose

Our flight to Japan was unguided this time around. We also had the addition of my grandmother, who happens to be the slowest person in our family.

The Changi-Narita leg was simple enough. We flew ANA, which had small seats and crappy food, although the attendants were prettier than SIA and Air NZ. xD

Once we got to Narita, we went through immigration with spectacular efficiency, though I can't say the same about my grandma - she stood around just staring at the poor immigration officer who was gesturing madly and trying to communicate with her. How embarrassing...

We arrived at Haneda domestic airport an hour later by bus. The place was a lot more foreigner-friendly compared to last time. People could actually understand English. D:

The security was tighter than Narita too. They had to scan the contents of our water bottles and everything. 

At Shin-Chitose airport in Sapporo, my uncle and his family were waiting for us. We had lunch at an airport restaurant (oysters, crab and sashimi omg) before buying some Hokkaido specialty sweets and stuff. Once all that was done we caught the bus to the ANA hotel in the middle of the city.
