An airline ad recently caught the eye of this seasoned traveler: "Daily, no-nonsense, non-stop 747 flights to your favorite destinations worldwide."
The magazine advertisement describes the airline's two flights a day to the U.S. West Coast and the same number headed for Hong Kong, one of which leaves at 10 a.m. and arrives at 2 p.m. Not bad: breakfast in Japan, lunch in China.
What's more, all the flights from Tokyo leave from Haneda airport, whose location in the heart of capital makes it 100 times more convenient than its country bumpkin cousin in far off Narita.
