JAL First Class Blanket
Just in case you forget what airline you're on, or where you're sitting, your blanket tells you. I considered trying to tuck it in to my bag for a keepsake, but... didn't :P On board JAL flight #336, a fully loaded Boeing 777-200, from FUK Fukuoka Airport, to HND Haneda Tokyo International Airport in Tokyo, Japan. Japan Airline's domestic first class is pretty nice, and very competitively priced. It is just a small upgrade (about 10,000 JPY) from the regular fare, and cheaper than the green car on the Shinkansen which takes nearly 6 hours... while this flight takes just over an hour to complete the journey.
Flying domestically in Japan is an absolute breeze. You are only advised to show up about 15 minutes before your flight, you're whisked through security in an instant, liquids ARE allowed on the plane, you don't have to take off your clothes (presumably they understand a metal detector would detect something under your jacket), they start boarding the plane about 10 minutes prior to departure, everybody lines up orderly, you scan a barcode on your ticket yourself, and proceed to your seat on the plane, which leaves on time. Compare that to the HOURS long process in Canada, or the United States.
