Flying: Jetstar Japan Tokyo Narita to Sapporo New Chitose 2016

After a quick ramen breakfast at the international terminal, we boarded the shuttle bus heading to Terminal 3, which is a rather nondescript warehouse-like structure that reminded me of unhappy memories at KLIA's old LCCT.

However, once inside the terminal, the bright lighting indicated there is probably more resemblance to IKEA instead.

While there were staff manning the check-in counters, Jetstar seemed to enforce a policy of requesting passengers to print their own boarding pass using the machines above before dropping off their check-in luggage at the counters, which is a pretty smart move given how expensive manpower is in Japan.

Judging from the counters in the terminal, the building is used exclusively for budget airline flights. Nevertheless, while the furnishing is minimal, the lighting is warm at the eateries area with both sofas and other seating plentiful, complete with

Once board the aircraft, I realised that the layout and furnishing is almost identical to the Jetstar planes back in Singapore, save for the lack of a divider in front of seats 1A to 1C, which really gives a lot more legroom.

Despite having slept for almost 5 hours on the previous two legs, as well as another hour or so at Narita, all three of us managed to doze off again on this leg, and did no wake up until the flight stewardess began to remind all passengers to adjust the seats in the upright position in preparation for landing.

It was a smooth landing into CTS, and our bags were already waiting for us on the carousel by the time we walked to the terminal.
