Fearing being left behind, Madamkim arrived at the airport as early as 5:45 AM, allowing her to be the first to check in at 6:30 AM (overjoyed). When the time came, the plane took off on schedule at 9:35 AM without any problems. It was incredibly fortunate. Madamkim has never had any issues with any airlines on her travels. As I said, Madamkim is lucky. 555


Madamkim found the seats on Scoot Airlines to be comfortable and spacious, allowing for ample legroom. The flight attendants were friendly and provided excellent service. The food that Madamkim ordered was of average quality. However, she particularly enjoyed the yellow-wrapped pastry, which she described as "delicious."

This flight deserves high praise for the captain's exceptional skills. Madamkim experienced no ear pain or discomfort during the landing, unlike previous flights with other airlines where ear pain was a constant issue. The captain's expertise is truly commendable. After a six-hour flight with intermittent sleep, Madamkim arrived at Kansai Airport in Osaka precisely on time. The welcoming temperature upon arrival was a chilly 3 degrees Celsius, leaving Madamkim's face numb with cold.

Madamkim typically uses Booking.com to book her hotel accommodations. She prefers this platform due to its straightforward and transparent booking process, the availability of genuine guest reviews, and her consistently positive booking experiences. As a result, Booking.com has become her go-to platform for hotel reservations.



For this trip, Madamkim chose to stay at the APA Hotel Osaka Higobashi Ekimae for a total of 8 nights, divided into two periods: February 4-6, 2018, and February 9-13, 2018. The reason for choosing this hotel was because it has an onsen, which is located on the 2nd floor. After a tiring day of shopping, Madamkim planned to relax in the onsen to feel refreshed.

It's incredibly convenient. Additionally, there are nearby shops for your convenience, including a 7-Eleven (across the street, slightly to the left of the hotel; take Exit 2 from the subway and it's right there) and a Daily Yamazaki (opposite the hotel), which is similar to 7-Eleven but with some items at lower prices. The hotel also has a currency exchange machine, making it very convenient.
