+ Direct to Japan/non-stop flights available
+ Great service from Airline staff
+ Very reasonable prices for food on board flights
+ Free WiFi on board
+ Free in flight entertainment on your mobile device via WiFi
+ Planes are new and clean
+ Can almost fully stand up in front of your seat as overhead bins are higher up
- Strict with luggage weight
- Seats felt slightly narrower than I'm used to and leg space also felt less than I'm used to (could just me or not being used to such long flights)
Tips:
• Fly there with as little as possible in your carry on
• If purchasing lots of items in Japan, I see it as having 4 options, depending on the weight of your checked in luggage:
1. MAX total luggage weight of 33lbs: $0-38 there + $35 back = $73 total
2. Max total luggage weight of 81lbs (15lbs carry on + 66lbs check in): $85 there + $75 back = $160
3. Max total luggage weight 15lbs to Japan + max 81lbs back: buy $50-75 luggage in Japan + $75 check in back = $125-150
I ended up buying a $90 large luggage at Don Quiote, but soon regretted it as I saw random vendors along the streets of Kyoto selling the same sized luggage for $50-75. Will be flying ZipAir again. Just expect to pay for checked luggage and it doesn't hurt so bad. It's STILL cheaper to fly ZipAir for me than to fly another airline that includes free checked luggage + ZipAir flies non-stop to Japan.
Also, even with the cost of checked luggage, it's still cheaper than other airlines ticket prices. Plus ZipAir flies direct vs 1-2 stops on most other airlines.

I'd prefer to pay a little bit more for those airlines and for the possibility of landing in HND instead of NRT. Drive to and from is brutal with the jet lag.

This is why you don't check in when leaving. Since it's winter, you layer up so your carry on is light. You bring old clothing that you don't want so you can wear and leave the clothes there or you can buy the clothing there. You buy goodies and check the bag on the home trip. Several members said Ginza Karen sells cheap durable bags and luggage.
