This is NOT a promotional video. I pay for all of my flights and hotels (and I always tell you how much!) so I can be as honest and impartial as possible. I do not receive any special treatment that wouldn’t otherwise be publicly accessible, in fact, the hotels and airlines have no idea about my visit and that's the way I like it!

Admirable how they have been able to carve out their little niche in the busy Japanese airspace! Like a small boutique airline on economy level, I like it! Amazing visuals as always, even the dreary weather upon arrival🤩 Thank you so much for reviewing this little gem 🙏🏼

Looked a lovely airline Kevin. I agree, nice to see a company "staying in their lane" and doing it so well.

This Japan series has probably been my favorite set of videos from you ever. Love!

I love the sleek livery and the interior of these birds. I enjoyed the transition of the wing while taking off from Haneda and the views of the airport/city afterwards.

Thanks for covering Starflyer - have always been interested with them and to get a top notch guide from you is appreciated.

I love your sense of humor and how you mention exactly how you paid for your flight/stay at a hotel. Usually I have to scrub back and forth to see how much a creator paid (if at all they mention it).

Unusual to have only one overwing exit on the A320. This must be due to the lower seating density offered by StarFlyer. Another sterling video review, Kevin. The Japan series has been fascinating. Thanks for your hard work.

You are a great reviewer because of your niche market's videos Kevin! I am thrilled by how well-documented and inclusive your narration has been and this video proves just that ❤.

I remember flying them years ago. Loved the airline...hated the flight though. Had nothing to do with them, the FAs were nice as hell, the seats were comfortable, and the other crews were pretty good. The problem I had with that flight has more to do with what time of year I chose to go to Japan. I went from Kansai to Tokyo, and was told there was some nice views on that route. I saw nothing from 1 minute after take off to 30 seconds before landing, it was that socked in over the country. It was such a waste, I could have just taken the Bullet Train back to Tokyo. That being said, Star Flyer isn't just holding to these small routes out of a focus on product and service. There are a lot of small carriers like that in Japan that nearly exclusively serve 1 or 2 destinations and no more. Unlike the US and Europe, Japan doesn't have the demand to fly more point-to-point routes and so super hubs like Tokyo (or really just Tokyo) ends up being the main and only destination of worth for these companies. And since HND is pretty close to capacity, they don't add more flights. I think it a way, also, they are a way of providing simulated competition to what would otherwise be a duopoly between JAL and ANA.

Having IFE on a domstic flight is impressive! Almost as impressive as this Japan-series. And its not even the last one! I bow deeply in true Japanse manner. Respect!

Cool little airline and great value too! Such a decent flight for under $100? Hard to find that anywhere tbh. And I agree with you, I totally respect them for concentrating on their business model. On a side note, you keep teasing us with that Bhutan Airways flight, the Intercontinental Sanur, and that Qantas "experience"... all three of which I am eagerly anticipating - when are they coming!!?? :D

HI Kevin, another great video. Thanks for introducing this airline.

I looked at their web site, and it has to be about the most complicated tiered pricing system I've ever seen. If it wasn't for your video, as a foreigner, I think I'd just book with another carrier.

I may need to travel between Tokyo and Fukuoka next year so this looks like a good option. Some great views departing HND as well - something about those crystal clear Japanese days hits different.

Hey Kev.. do you mind sharing the link for the quarterly rating review in your post with the scan code? I had opened it but then went on to check out this new video. And once i opened it, I can't find it again . Thanks very much in advance.

You can get an A320ceo/neo up to 188 these days Kevin! Try HKEXpress, Cebu etc. ;)

Any of you affected by the mass global IT outage that grounded flights across the world ?
