I am Kelly and I just arrived in Japan from America!
My blog will be about my stay here and my thoughts.
Please feel free to comment, ask questions, and enjoy!
どうもありがとうございます！!
My trip from Chicago, IL USA to Narita, Chiba JAPAN was easy. This is my third flight going this route in the last 3 years and so I am becoming more knowledgeable and confident. I have learned to bring different things to do like a book, something to listen to and something to write on so I don't watch a screen the entire time.
I have also learned to request vegan meals when booking my ticket. I don't like to eat a lot of meat anyway, and this doesn't leave me wondering what's really in the meat served and where it came from. The flight attendants deliver the special meals before the general ones though, which brings out a conflict of excitement by being served food, and embarrassment for eating first and somehow eating alone. At least half the time I end up stalling (checking what movies are playing, shifting things around in my bag and so on) until the passenger next to me (whether I've ever spoken to her/him or not) is served.
Did you know you can order more than one drink at a time? No more choosing between coffee and OJ! Plus I have started bringing my own cup to avoid wasting so many small plastic ones.
Let me know if you have some additional tips in the comments below (in English or 日本語) !
