Tokyo Trip Day 8 - Haneda
Plan for the day : Take Air Asia flight to Haneda Airport and spend a night at the air port.
A bad day and looks like a start for a bad journey. I can only pray for the good in Tokyo.
The Air Asia insist passenger to use online check in, yet online check in do not allow me to choose my seating. And I still need to queue up to check in my luggage just like the rest of the passenger that did not online check in. I wonder what is the point for online check in. Waste of my time doing it.
As I begin walk to the plane, I can see dark cloud approaching. Sign of a heavy storm.
After I go into the plane cabin, I can feel extremely hot. Because the air condition fail to turn on.
But there is more passenger following my back and thus I can only sit at my seat and prepare for the take off. Very soon the Air Stewardess inform that the plane engine fail to start and some technical issue. All passenger is stuck in the plane for almost 40 minutes without aircond. Heavy rain outside of the plane cabin. Bad sign....
The plane finally take off but through out the flight, lots of air turbulence causing a very uncomfortable flight experience. Considering this is a large plane that carry almost 400 passenger, it must be the pilot trying to make up the lost time in KLIA to reach Haneda Airport on time. Thus going thru the air turbulence instead of taking a longer route. This is a bad decision and one of the passenger become extremely uncomfortable, vomit and faint in the lavatory during the landing in Haneda Airport. I can't blame her considering the flight is almost like riding a roller coaster. I keep my belt on all the time except for when the nature calls.
This is a long long flight. And Air Asia is famous for charging high price for all other service, so I preordered this in flight meal during booking. Food is serve twice in the flight due to this is a 8 hour flight. So if you feel full, you can request the air stewardess to keep your preordered meal first and have it later.
After going thru the custom check, I walk around the airport and found this open deck at top floor. Can directly see the plane without blockage by glass. And the air feel so cold. I have reach Tokyo. Feeling the autumn air and compare it with hot weather of KL, it is a big difference.
Although it looks very small, but that is the famous Tokyo Tower. The tower is build in 1958. Insipired by Paris Eiffel Tower, thus there is a lot of similarities between both tower. But just like Eiffel Tower an iconic for Paris, Tokyo Tower is iconic for Tokyo megapolis. Lots of anime and Japan drama include scene of the tower.
Weather is cold, even though I wish to stay longer, but I have to keep myself warm. Can't fall sick on the first day in Tokyo. Off to find a nice place for me to sleep. But it turn out to be a mission impossible. The light is on in most area and the elevator and lift all have speaker that warn the people. But it is on all the time. So not a good location to sleep. Maybe I should have booked the hotel for this night too instead of trying to save a night of hotel fee accommodation. No next time.
The Hello Kitty shop in Haneda Airport. A must visit for Hello Kitty fans. :)
