Flying ZIP AIR from Tokyo to Los Angeles: Lie Flat Business Seat for Super Cheap, is it worth it?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 сер 2024
- Zip Air is a Japanese low-cost, low-budget airline that flies this enormously popular Tokyo-LA route, competing with airlines such as JAL, Singapore and ANA. Lie flat seating at the front of the plane would look like a business class cabin, but no frills like the traditional premium products out there for these 787 long-haul routes. I liked the concept the seat was very comfortable and private just no supportive luxuries - take a look and see!

Nice to see someone reviewing airlines that are not well known. In fact I've never heard of a few of them. I like the concept of a no frills lie flat seat. I would definitely go for that at that price.
Glad you enjoyed it! this was worth it, the seat was very comfortable !
A very nice review !! Exciting to know that there are many airliners offer us more affordable products these days !! The competition works more favorable for us !! 👍👍Shibuya is where I was born & one of my favourite cities in Tokyo ! 💜🥁🐉🎤🎶✈️🇯🇵💞
This is wild. Never seen a long-haul business class without an entertainment system. Nice vid, my man!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank You - please subscribe if you want !!
As long as i can keep my tablet charged and the plane has wifi with entertainment options, I'm good.

I’m going to Tokyo in August. In checking out the Zip Air website, it seems that the economy seat leaving LAX is around 400 bucks, BUT the return trip is almost double that! It looks like this airline is trying to lure you in.
yes I noticed that - when I checked again Singapore economy was slightly cheaper option than Zip - plus you get good service and points if you are a member!
Mid August is so called the OBON week, which is Japanese highest holiday season.
You ask 'Is it worth it?'. Worth it is subjective and what is 'worth it' to some people may not be 'worth it' to others.
The seat is fine but that so-called meal is an absolute disgrace. They don't need to provide gourmet cuisine but it doesn't have to be cheap muck either, especially as it has to be purchased. I would suggest that passengers who are happy to pay the extra for this type of seat on a long-haul flight would be prepared to pay a bit more to have a decent meal - perhaps the sort of full meal that would have been served in Economy in the 'old days' on a tray - included in the fare. Again, I think the lack of IFE would be a problem for younger passengers. I am old enough to have travelled frequently on long-haul flights when the IFE consisted of stethescope type hollow tube headphones, a 9 channel audio program and a single film but it has been a very long time since I have travelled long-haul on an aircraft with no IFE of any sort, the last time probably being on a VC10!
Not having the IFE was strange, and I am not a big phone person, so watching a movie on a phone is not an option for me. Thankfully, I read, so that helped. I guess with this airline, that is the trade off? The seat was still very comfortable, though, food options was terrible. - its an odd concept and I am not completely sure if I am sold on it. The same route and price Premium Economy on Singapore Airlines was available on the same date but of course no lie flat in that cabin
Crazy how ZipAir can give you a transpacific flight for the price of some transatlantic flights. Makes me wish I lived on the West Coast.
certain amount of trade off's with the Zip option, this being comfort, food service and entertainment!
13th sub :)
thank you!!!
10th sub!
thank you!
How was the WiFi?
great question! and thanks! so... at first the WIFI did not work, I asked the flight attendant who said only so many people can use the service at any one time (which is strange and not very good) she said to keep trying which I did and then it worked well on the phone.
Even their logo looks cheap!
yes it does, very cheap branding, but the seat was super comfortable
