Greetings from Osaka Kansai airport (airport code KIX). So far I have experienced the wonders of Japanese toilet engineering- seriously.
The flight from SFO was relatively uneventful, with only one small bout of uncomfortable turbulence. And I got upgraded to Economy plus, which was nice. I also got a couple hours of sleep in, thanks to the NyQuil I took when I got in the plane and the Air France mask from my last international trip:-)
In other words, hi mom! I’m in Osaka!
Any favorite airlines/ airport amenities? I could get used to heated toilet seats…
In the Hong Kong airport, they have water dispensers – not fountains, but dispensers, where you choose a water temperature, push a button, and get a big ‘ole stream of any temp water you want (from hot to cold, and several temps inbetween).
Unfortunately, they also REcheck your carry-ons at the end of the jet bridge, and make you dump (or drink) all of said water before getting on the plane. Bummer.
The water dispenser sounds *very* nice. I do remember that airport having quite the security check system– too bad you didn’t have longer to enjoy your water!
