Flight Report: MNL-NRT on Jetstar Japan Flight GK 40 (25 March 2023)
Where budget airlines are concerned, “no frills” means exactly that: just the bare essentials and nothing more. But on a relatively short route like the one linking Manila and Tōkyō, it’s easy enough to let go of the frills in the name of fare savings. Welcome aboard Jetstar Japan flight GK 40.
Flight Report: ICN-MNL on Philippine Airlines Flight PR 469 (24 January 2023)
My previous flight with Philippine Airlines (PR) left much to be desired where the actual hardware was concerned. But on this occasion, the clean and refreshed interior of the new(ish) aeroplane they used was the perfect setting for an unremarkable flight home. “Unremarkable” in the best possible sense, in that I had nothing to complainContinue reading “Flight Report: ICN-MNL on Philippine Airlines Flight PR 469 (24 January 2023)”

Flight Report: MNL-NRT on Japan Airlines Flight JL 746 (08 November 2022)
When Japan announced a significant relaxation of its pandemic-era border controls – effective early October 2022 – I swiftly discarded my plans for a European holiday and arranged a one-month adventure in my favourite destination country. Needless to say, that also involved choosing an airline to take me there and back again… …and what betterContinue reading “Flight Report: MNL-NRT on Japan Airlines Flight JL 746 (08 November 2022)”
