I tried using "Jetstar" which is useful for moving between Tokyo and Osaka from 3990 yen

An airline that can use airplane at a cheaper price than before "LCC(Low Cost Carrier) "is spreading even in Japan, and services started on domestic routes since 2012. CurrentlyPeach · AviationYaJetstar, AndAirAsia JapanI changed the name fromVanilla AirEtc. operate based on Narita, Kansai International Airport, New Chitose, Fukuoka, Okinawa and others. In exchange for a fee set cheaper than a legacy / carrier (conventional airline) with a regular fare of more than 20,000 yen, the voice that the seat space is set narrow or the departure gate is a little far away, etc. Although it is a service by LCC which is also raised, I tried it by riding on Jetstar's Osaka (Kansai International Airport) to Tokyo (Narita airport) flight.

Jetstar's domestic boarding counter is located at the southern tip of Kansai International Airport Terminal 1.


Basically, boarding procedures will not be accepted by the receptionist and will use ticketing machines.


Basically, boarding procedures are not carried out by Grand Hostess but by myself using a ticket issuing machine. In EuropeRYANAIRThere are rumors that additional fee will be taken if you do not bring the printed ticket to the airport, but there is nothing like that at Jetstar.


If you have checked baggage, hand it at the counter. Baggage that can be carried in the plane is a standard plan called Starter, which is 56 cm in height, 36 cm in width, 23 cm in depth and up to two 10 kg bags. When leaving your luggage it is different from a major airline company that 2000 yen including tax is required separately.


Go through the security inspection gate and head towards the departure gate.


This time departing from the gate of South No. 25, although walking for 2-3 minutesMoving walkThere was, so I did not get too bad.


When arriving near the gate, many people were waiting for departure.


Large aircraftBoeing 747It is said that the capacity of 350 to 400 people, but this time to boardA 320The boarding capacity of the aircraft is 177 to 180 people, and the aircraft is also a little smaller.


There is one automatic ticket gate. Wait for a while until boarding starts.


At the boarding time, we go through the automatic ticket gate and go inside the cabin. Some LCCs can not board an airplane directly from the gate and sometimes get on the bus from the gate, but there was not such a thing with the flight aboard this time.


It looks like this when shooting with facing the back from inside the cabin. Although I do not mind the height etc, the passage felt a little narrow compared to the major airline company.


This is taken in the direction of travel. The liquid crystal display is not attached behind the seat.


Inside the cabin was a lot of orange color scheme.


There are three seats on the left and right sides of the aisles across the aisle.


Leather is used in the seat, there is a sense of quality.


When I sit down, it feels like this. Especially it is not different from ordinary airplane ... ...


Again the space between the seats is a little narrow, so there is a slight sense of oppression. As a feeling of sitting feeling close to sightseeing bus.


Reclining press the button next to the armrest.


When reclining is knocked down to the maximum it is like this. Because the distance between the seats is small, you can only beat a little bit.


Like ordinary airplanes, there is a table in front of us.


You can also put a personal computer and put a drink.


The pocket in front of the seat contains a drink menu, in-flight magazines, and a bookmark of safety. There was no video broadcast of the demonstration at the time of emergency using the liquid crystal, and the in-flight broadcast by sound and the crew gave a gesture gesture to explain before departure.


Unlike major airline companies, drinks and snacks are charged.


Snacks such as rice balls and hot dogs line up in the menu.


We also sold beer and other alcoholic beverages.


The flight time between Kansai International Airport and Narita Airport is about 1 hour 20 minutes. At the beginning of the service of LCC in Japan, there were flight cancellation and delay, but this time it was scheduled as scheduled. Although it can not be said that ride comfort is good because it is rather narrow, boarding time is not long if it is a domestic flight, so it can be said that the burden on the body is small.

However, it was accessibility to the central Tokyo area that became a neck in this case. Because Narita airports used by LCC companies are about 50 kilometers away from the center of the city in a straight line distance, it is also important to consider traveling time after leaving the airplane. Recently the number of direct buses to Tokyo station has increased, Keisei Electric Railways will connect the Tokyo metropolitan area and Narita airport with a minimum of 36 minutes Express train "SkylinerAlthough the accessibility has been improved than in the past, such as operating from 2010, there are cases where it is not so different from moving between Osaka and Tokyo with the Shinkansen in consideration of the total traveling time I will. Also, the price of Skyliner2400 yen, And the airport bus is about 1000 yen, it becomes necessary to consider the total cost including additional movement.

Still, it is certain that there are merits in terms of cost, in many cases it is possible to keep the cost cheap, and when traveling from Kyushu and Hokkaido like long distances like Tokyo. For users it can be chosen from both a great service like existing airline company and LCC service which realized low price, so it would be a pleasure to be able to use wisely according to your needs. The fee of this flight was 4090 yen including tax.
