Layovers - Air Travel podcast

Vinod returns to share a three-week family journey through Tokyo, Sapporo, and Osaka, plus more in between — and the choices along the way: fly or ride the Shinkansen, explore the airport or head into the city, and which flight is worth taking just for the aircraft.

Paul and Vinod compare Air Canada, ANA, JAL, and Zipair, swapping stories about standout service, a 24-year-old JAL 767-300, and everything that make Japanese travel memorable.

From observation decks to QR-codes galore, embarkation cards to that boarding group process never tried anywhere else, from beef consommé to an unheard of seating experience, the little surprises are everywhere - often delightful, sometimes puzzling, but Japan always turns a trip into a transport adventure.
