    AvGeeking around Japan and Korea

    ZIPAIR was definitely my favourite. Really high quality as far as LCCs are concerned. And I think their branding is on point. Pretty sure Scoot offer it for ScootPlus on their 787s.

    AvGeeking around Japan and Korea

    Flight 9: Asiana Airlines, Incheon-Narita, A380-800 HL7634 Instead of taking the AREX train, I took the Airport Limousine bus back to Incheon Airport. It was so much easier and saved the hassle of taking your luggage on the subway. Incheon Airport was stupidly busy. There were people...

    AvGeeking around Japan and Korea

    Flight 5: T’Way Air, Gimpo-Jeju, B737-800 HL8056 For what would emerge as a theme for the trip, boarding was done using a bus. The cabin was nothing to write home about. The aircraft was a former Ryanair frame, but all vestiges of yellow had been removed. The seats were surprisingly well...

    AvGeeking around Japan and Korea

    Four flights, four airlines, one day The next part of the trip started off as a day trip to Jeju Island, flying with T’Way and Asiana. I had planned on spending the day exploring the island, but those plans were quickly thwarted with an abysmal weather forecast. Being an AvGeek at heart, I...

    AvGeeking around Japan and Korea

    Flight 4: ZIPAIR, Narita-Incheon, B787-8 JA851J Next up, Seoul. This was my first visit to South Korea. You're not short of options between Tokyo and Seoul with 16 different airlines flying the route. I was most interested in trying out ZIPAIR and their Full-Flat option. With ZIP Full-Flat...

    AvGeeking around Japan and Korea

    Flight 2: ANA, Haneda-Hiroshima, B787-8 JA818A The next destination on the itinerary was Hiroshima. The Shinkansen is the obvious choice, but I opted to fly with ANA on a Velocity reward seat. After check-in, a visit to the observation deck was in order. Boarding commenced 20 minutes...

    AvGeeking around Japan and Korea

    Welcome to my first AFF Trip Report! I recently returned from 2 weeks in Japan and Korea, and being a bit of an AvGeek, I ended up doing a fair few flights during that time. I thought I'd document them here for you all to enjoy. This trip report will just cover the flights I took on this trip...

    Virgin Australia flights to Doha now on sale

    I'd guess it's more about which departure banks in Doha that QR want the VA flights to feed.

    General Virgin Australia discussion

    There is no self bag drop for any airline at SYD T2. You have to drop your bag at a manned desk even if you use a kiosk to print your bag tag. Self bag drops will be added during the upcoming terminal upgrades.

    General Virgin Australia discussion

    I definitely agree with this. Connecting bags also seem to come out first too. Mentioning what I posted in the VA Newbie thread the other day. Priority baggage never seems to work for me when I get a tag from the self check in kiosks. Not guaranteed, but there is a much higher success rate...
