Osaka, Japan. Our first option for air travel from Manila to Osaka was every Juan's favorite Cebu Pacific (CP). Unfortunately, flight back to Manila was booked and a CP and CX combo would be more expensive. The tour package includes Philippine Airlines (PR) however we opted out because there is only one flight in and out of Osaka. It arrives in the evening and leaves in the morning which already shaves two days off.
This year's family trip was serviced by Cathy Pacific (CX). It was the most expensive amongst the 3 choices (by $50) but the most practical, travel wise. For the organizer (that's me), it was overall value for money. We arrived Osaka just after lunch and leave in the afternoon. This schedule gives us more time to enjoy the city.
Some of the highlights of the plane that we rode include:
1- Live video feed of the plane's frontend. The camera is probably placed in the fuselage. So in the event of a crash, you have just 1 to 2 seconds to pray the Hail Mary and Our Father. J/K!
2- In house movie at your fingertips. Think Avatar, Book of Eli, Shutter Island, et al. They have the new releases as well as a good selection in their library hence a great time to catch up on the latest. Not only that, you have full control of the movie. The common video buttons are available- pause, stop, play, forward and rewind.
