How cool is it that ANA (All Nippon Airways) has an entire sub fleet of Boeing 787-8’s configured specifically for short haul domestic use?
This video is a detailed summary of my experience from seat 24K on ANA flight number 671 from Tokyo (Haneda) to Hiroshima.
Total flying time was 1 hour and 2 minutes, and the aircraft registration was JA815A.

Thanks for another video. You could make an hour long video, rambling wherever your humor takes you with whatever footage you have. Always look forward to your videos.
Hey Scott! Okay, so this may sound crazy (because it is) but did you know that you and be were at the same airport on the same day at the same time? After looking at your flight history I found that you landed at Hiroshima at 8:32am on Thursday, July 13, 2023. That same exact day, I was flying from Hiroshima to Tokyo, and my flight was scheduled to leave at 10:20am. I got to the airport about 2hrs before, which is 8:20am-8:30am. Soooo… with you landing at Hiroshima at 8:32am, and me getting to the Hiroshima Airport at 8:20am-8:30am, we were literally at the same exact place, at the same time, all the way on the other side of the world. That’s crazy to think about; and it would have been cool to meet you!
The Japanese are masters of transportation. The rest of world should sit up and take notes. I've been noticing that you're not doing much YouTube work…good to see you post something. You're like the everyday man youtuber of airline reviews….happy to sit in cattle class and be geeked over apple juice…no need to review the 1st class menu and wine list on Emirates on this channel! I've had one domestic Japanese air travel experience…1990, Japan Airlines B767 Naha, Okinawa to Tokyo-Narita to connect to a Northwest 747-200 headed to SFO. I need to try ANA…one simply never hears a single syllable of negativity about them.
Scott, you know well that you would have never received a snack on a one hour domestic Economy flight in the U.S. Therefore, don't gripe about the Japanese.
Great to see you back good sir
Great video as always.
Awesome vid as always!
Great video Scott!
Finding a 787-8 Dreamliner on the short one hour Tokyo to Hiroshima route is a pretty standard find in Japan 🇯🇵 but it’s a cool novelty for us American Avgeeks that’s for sure! Also I bet the food on even that domestic ANA 788 in Economy still seemed like it should be pretty good so very disappointing and a let down as ANA is known for pretty excellent food!
Previously Japanese carriers like ANA and JAL used to use Boeing 747s on domestic itineraries within Japan mainly Tokyo to Osaka previously the 747SR a variant of the 747-100 was specifically designed for higher capacity routes within Japan with a stretched upper deck over the -100 variant and smaller high capacity seats to fly up to 500 passengers! Only ANA & JAL flew it! Also later the 747-400D (Domestic) 747 was introduced to Japanese skies still only for ANA & JAL which of course was later replaced by 787s/767-300s like shown at 7:07 on the cup and 777s… I saw a former ANA 747SR in the desert in Arizona set to be scrapped for soda cans out in Tucson Arizona and I got exclusive past the fence access at Marana Pinal Airpark here’s the video link I’d appreciate if you’d check it out:

Nice to meet you again Scott. Once again excellent vid and very Scott….ish! Thats a positive comment of mine!
BUT like always, Claus as he is, in Europe all snacks and alc beverages are free of charge on Air France and KLM on 1 hour flying time operations.
On "my" T.W.A. there was a snack on the B-767 from San Diego to LAX! plus free soft drinks. Alc for purchase. In coach!
Where have all the good times gone…
But it is good for me to know that you are still in business and I am looking forward to future vids. THANK YOU!
Fantastic trip report as always Scott!😸
Coming from China I think 2k round trip to Japan is seriously not bad considering flying to China from US is always super expensive post-pandemic, though I could never live that long in the back of the plane
Safe trip!
2000$ in economy? there's probably something wrong in the market there….not enough competition.
Hi Scott, that is shocking that there was no snack on that one hour flight with ANA. I thought you only experienced that in the US! Entertaining video as always ❤️✈️
Shortest 787 flight I've had was from Edinburgh to Dublin with Hainan Airlines. It was 39 minutes from take off to touch down. It was also my first flight in a 787 and the reason I made the trip.
Just here for the algorithm
I triple-dog dare you to lick the next IFE remote you encounter
Just wanted to say you’re my favourite aviation vlogger. There’s a lot but you’re definitely my favourite- idk what it is, your videos are just the most entertaining. Hope to meet ya one day
日本へようこそ！
Nice to see this pop up, I took NH34 on Friday 6 October with a domestic 787
Great video!
Great video….your narration makes all the difference. Nice job!
