JAL Dreamliner economy class report Haneda to Itami


Hi there,

Here are my trip in January 2020 before the pandemic with JAL domestic from Tokyo to Osaka.
The reason i choose airplane over train in Japan because of the luggage I carry with me and also the cost is cheaper by airplane than shinkansen since I am not using JR pass.

Anyway we left the hotel early morning by taxi from Ginza to Haneda JAL Terminal since our flight is at 12.30.
Only took us 30 minutes from Ginza to Haneda by Taxi.
From there we go to the check in counter and find some food before go inside to our gate.

The flight is quite full don't seem to find any empty seat.
The seat configuration is 3-3-3
The seat got IFE but only 2 movie since it's domestic flight only I guess. 1 Western movie and 1 japanese movie and some music selections.
The flight from Haneda to Itami only took 52 minutes and we only got served drink.

We landed in Itami Airport in Osaka and the terminal itself quite small and only serve domestic flight only.
The airport is still in very good condition and near to the city center than kansai.
From the airport we took airport limousine bus to Umeda then to our hotel.

Thanks all for reading my report

Conclusion

Jal domestic is recommended over shinkansen if you got lots of luggage. But if you are travelling light and want to experience bullet train than try shinkansen. Me myself like both option depending on your timing and preference and mood.

Overall flying experience with JAL was nice and pleasant everything went smoothly.

  • Thank you for sharing this FR.

    JL 787's cabin in economy class is very similar to its newest A350. For the inflight catering, it's what we can expect from a domestic flight.

    Overall flying experience with JAL was nice and pleasant everything went smoothly.

    Still, it seems the flight went too fast... ^^

    Have safe flights ;)

    • Thanks for the comment it went by so quickly under an hour for the flight so everything must be smooth.

      Until we fly again when it is safe ?
