There are extra fees for seat reservations, checked baggage and a meal which come to about $160 RT. The free carry-on baggage weight limit is just 7kg, so if you have more than that you may be better off paying the extra fee of $160 and getting checked baggage (though you'd still be limited to 7kg for carry-on so it's best to put as much in checked and have the free 7kg and not pay extra for the bigger carry-on allotment). If you don't need seat reservations or a meal, and don't have checked baggage, you can pay about $75 RT for the larger 15kg carry-on allotment. Seat reservations would be about $41 RT.

All food and drink is extra, but not expensive (about $2.50-$3 for a soft drink, e.g.) but it's best to bring food (you can get good take-out meals at Narita airport) and drink bottles with you on board). Link to food and drink prices: https://www.zipair.net/en/service/meal

August is hottest month in Japan. I would avoid going there that time of the year.
San Jose and LAX are far away from eachother.. San Jose is an alternative to SFO and Oakland
Flew with them last year. IMO, if you have limited luggage it's fine but they nickel and dime you on everything else

Haha. True. I bet you can't make it to Barcelona and back for $350 with a 5 day stopover in Lisbon.

The whole 'diming' you for water and food is non-sense when the flight is cheap. Water is like a buck on their flight, meal is ~$10. Just be sure to add $30-40 to your ticket if you want 3 portions of economy food + 3 bottles of water.

Yeah really. I don't get the complaint about no meals and baggage or water. they're worth a few bucks when the savings on the flight ticket is in the hundreds and it's really simple to just buy food and a water bottle or drink on one of the airport convenience stores to bring with you on the flight. I don't need to pick out my seat and a check in bag is around $55 (I pay for two on the way back because of goodies I bring back with me).



Just a warning regarding food. I bought a salad and I did not eat it in my flight (I took United as they had the $675 deal with food/baggage/seats etc.). I was flagged at the airport in Japan for bringing meat (it was a chicken salad) into the country. This probably will happen with a sandwhich so make sure not to bring any kind of a meal with meat on it. I thought those warnings pertained to things like canned food.

What do you mean you got flagged? During the custom checkin you suppose to throw away the food at the security custom check in. I think it always been the case for other countries as well.

The displayed prices on Zipair's website include taxes for both the standard seats or the full lie-flat seats, but there are fees for everything else (seat reservations, carry-on and checked baggage, drinks and meals, amenity bag are extras that can be added as a package or individually). So, you can travel for that price if you don't need to add on anything extra and are traveling extremely light.

Zip air has above avg economy plane seating & free high speed satellite wifi from Panasonic for all passengers. Like usable wifi @ reasonable speeds.... You can also order snacks in flight so you dont need to book food ahead of time, still needs to book hot meals cause limited quantity, but thats worth it alone imo.
