Flight Day!

The much rescheduled flight ✈️ day has arrived. Akiko drove us to Haneda Airport, the closer of Tokyo's airports, and also where she works. From there, we got a limousine bus to Narita. This was the most convenient way to get to Narita.

Right now, as I write this, we are in WestJet's lounge (they don't have their own lounge at Narita, so they use United's). It's very nice and we are sitting in comfortable chairs, enjoying cappuccinos and snacks. Our flight, WestJet 81, will be departing in 2 hours. Until then we can relax here.

After an overnight flight in our lovely lie flat pods, we will arrive in Calgary, where we will hang out in WestJet's own lounge until it's time for our final flight of this extravaganza - to YYJ.Read more
