  • The Ramble: Budget Flying across the Pacific with ZipAir
    2024/09/12

    What if you could fly across the Pacific without breaking the bank? On this episode of Tray Tables and Time Zones, we introduce our new segment, the Ramble, with an in-depth review of ZipAir, Japan’s low-cost airline owned by Japan Airlines. We cover everything from its fleet of Boeing 787s to its destinations spanning the US, Canada, and Asia. Tune in to hear our thoughts on the booking process, where we navigated their clunky website, discuss important tips for the check-in process and suggestions to follow baggage weight limits to avoid those pesky extra fees.

    Ready for a budget-friendly flight experience? We take you onboard a ZipAir journey from Narita to the West Coast of the US, detailing the surprisingly good food quality, the professional and friendly flight attendants, and the cleanliness of the bathrooms. However, it’s not all smooth sailing; we also highlight challenges like poor Wi-Fi and the necessity for advance meal orders, especially for families. While ZipAir shines for solo travelers and couples, we suggest mainline carriers for families due to better connectivity and seating options. Don’t forget to stay connected with our travel community on YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok, where we share more travel tips and adventures. Thanks for tuning in!

    Ever faced the unpredictable twists and turns of international travel? Join me as I take you through a rollercoaster of emotions all in one adventure in this episode of Tray Tables and Time Zones. Returning home from trekking in the mountains of Nepal, I ended up facing the most challenging ordeal of my travel life: severe food poisoning while onboard multiple flights and a during a layover. I describe how quickly a nice, easy trip home turned into a cold sweat hell, with panic induced sprints to the bathroom, leg-numbing lavatory sessions and dehydration delirium. Trust me, its one hell of a story!
