Hi and welcome to another pheeplanes review on my flight home from tokyo narita  although i have a good time exploring tokyo and riding alot of tokyo metro trains as well as enjoying japanese food during my first trip to tokyo.


On the day of departure we arrive  at  airport with no queues for check in and drop my suitcase before proceeded to the north zone departure area security and immigration which is nearer to the boarding gate after immigration. it took about 5 mins as there no people at the security lines and majority of the foreigner can use the automated gates to leave japan and by the time  i cleared Both security and immigration  boarding has began and here my ride home from tokyo a 13 year and 6 month old  b787-8  with the registration JA803A (Juliet alpha 803 Alpha) and it was my 6th time taking the b787 series including singapore airlines b787-10 that i took last year to and from guangzhou

We were push back after the cabin door has closed and the manual safety demo was demostrated during pushback and starting up the Rolls royce engine and the ground crew wave us goodbye and taxi past numerous of aircraft like 2 korean air b737 max8 and b787-10 ,another airjapan  b787-8 heading to bangkok and fleet of star alliance airlines including 2 singapore airlines b777 300 ER 





we were took off around 5.17PM after a short taxi to the runway bidding japan goodbye and heading south towards singapore

The sun is setting while i enjoy watching the movie since i sat in row 1 to 9 i get a complimentary drink when booking a seat on the front row of  the b787-8 and i did enjoy the orange juice while watching the sunset which concludes my first trip to japan

1 hour after take off prebooked meals was served and i go for the Charcoal-grilled-style Fluffy and Creamy Egg and Chicken Rice Bowl or simply known as oyakodon although these prebooked meals can be ordered when booking a flight with airjapan and my meal came with a bottled of water and wooden chopsticks and spoon although the oyakodon was delicious and good

We bid goodbye to the friendly cabin crew and JA803A for taking us home before it return to tokyo narita as NQ4 few hours later on the ground

Immigration took about 5 mins with lesser people at the eiacs lane and manage to complete the Singapore arrival card (SGAC) with health declaration  few days before my trip home which can be done on the ica website or the my ica app unfortunatly there no passportless immigration lanes which i have to scan my passport at the eiacs automated passport control lanes .After immigration i  proceed to pickup my baggage where my suitcase appear 5 minutes later and after collecting my suitcase i headed home with a grab rideshare although this was a excellent ride on the hybrid airline and i would definetely will take airjapan again in the near future as well as any other good airlines to japan see you next time on pheeplanes bye.
