There is a glass floor viewing area. I thought that was scary enough until I saw these guys in a gondola outside at 350m....😅

A tree within a 'tree' 😄 Great views of metropolitan Tokyo all around, albeit a bit hazy.

The hotel is located just above the Muji store, linked to it by escalators. Soft lighting and all the wood give it a warm feel.

Muji Hotel Ginza in Tokyo showcases how to make small spaces work. My single room is only 15sqm, but somehow, it has everything you'll need. The wardrobe acts as the bathroom door. Love the neat arrangement under the sink. We get a diffuser too! Only downside is not much room for your suitcase/bags.

You know you are arriving in Japan when you have this view out of your window on final descent 🥰 The sunset makes Mount Fuji look even more beautiful 😍

You can choose many a la carte dishes anytime during the flight. Last order around 2h before landing. I chose the veg curry with rice and a fruit plate. Real proper Japanese curry and real proper slices of fruits! And you can just order your food and drinks via the IFE touchscreen! So convenient!

When flying JAL, their Japanese meal's a must! Both taste and presentation are so good. Cream cheese amuse bouche. The 5 starters were so delicious! The details in each dish were outstanding. Loved how the rice was wrapped, hence not dry. The choc mousse could be sweeter. Washed down with sake 😋

A few things to note. The cushioning I felt was a bit thin and that thick mattress topper in the overhead cupboard helps immensely. Also, you can get things dropped accidentally into this gap between the side panel and the wall.

....and the best thing are the in-built speakers within your headrest, so you can watch a film or sleep with music on without the bulk!

Had a great flight on JAL's A350-1000 to Tokyo! This new biz seat is right at the top of the game. Wider, more space, taller doors, more seat adjustments vs. others. Wardrobe, shoe compartment, comfy soft beddings and big sharp TV add to the list....

The start of my trip back to London. Cathay's Pier First Lounge at HKG is so worth the trek over. My favourite for sure 🥰

Which livery do you prefer? I like the retro one. It suits the 777. Those stripes visually make the plane look sleeker. Also for the nostalgia too 😊

Sipping champagne and eating cookies whilst plane watching = joy 🥰 Love the A220 Racoon look. A couple of pretty tails from Royal Air Maroc and Bangladesh Biman 😍

Had a lovely time with my daughter at University of Edinburgh's Open Day today. Did similar with my son 2 yrs ago. Never expected so many modern uni buildings; somehow, I thought it would be much like the Old Town! We really liked the place. And it was so nice for me to feel like a student again! ☺️

2nd meal prior to landing on JX2. Another quality offering! The salad was fresh and crisp. Baked French style egg was not overdone. Brussel sprouts + mushrooms might look odd, but flavours were good. Fresh apple and pineapple juice, the illy espresso and fresh bread all add to a very nice meal 😋

My dinner after take off on JX2. I pre-ordered the lobster linguine. Soup was delicious, but could be hotter. The scallops were succulent and sweet. The lobster was a little over done. Hard to get right in the air. Pasta had good flavour. I chose the gelato combo and fruits to finish, both so good!
