Last month, I went to Tokyo, Japan for one week vacation. I booked my roundtrip to Tokyo, arriving at Haneda Airport midnight flying Philippine Airlines.

I arrived at the airport 4 hours before the flight. While check in was done online and immigration doesn't have lines, all these was done in less than 20 minutes.
On the airside, I was able to access the PAGSS Premiere lounge for FREE! If you have high tier credit cards from various banks. While savoring my meal, I was able catch the ANA's Pokemon livery aircraft bound for Haneda Airport. I forgot to mentioned that ANA and PAL have a codeshare flight, therefore, I can earn miles on both PAL Mabuhay Miles and ANA Mileage Club.

As the departure nears, I proceed to the boarding gate. Unfortunately, this is a fully loaded flight, therefore, I can't change or own the 2 seats on my row.

The aircraft will take me to Tokyo is an Airbus 321 NEO SR, SR stands for "Short Range". As I seated, every seat has an In-Flight Entertainment screen with an USB port underneath. Unfortunately, it doesn't have a WiFi and power sockets to charge devices. SR variants at PAL has at least 30 inch legroom, it will be an uncomfortable seating.

Before take-off the Cabin crews hand out a Dental kit. Although this is 4 hour flight, good thing PAL looks over our dental health even in Economy Class passengers.

Upon reaching the cruising altitude, the Cabin crew started the dinner service. I chose the Chicken rice option. The option consists of Chicken meal, tamago maki, small portion of salad, sliced fruit, and creamy pastry as dessert. The meal is not that tasty but not bad.
Upon arrival at Haneda Airport, I had the chance to take photo of the aircraft over the observation deck.
Because I arrived midnight, I have no choice but to stay inside the airport until the first monorail operations. This is my first time to sleep at the airport.
