Vanilla Air used Airbus A320 plane equipped with the new Sharklet wingtip device. The livery of the planes are in bright yellow and white while the flight attendant’s uniforms are in bright blue and white. However, the interior of the plane was in black and white with red seat belts adding some colors to the plain decoration. The pitches of the all economy seats were quite okay for less than four hour flights.

The domestic terminals used by Vanilla Air in both Narita and Naha airports were warehouse-like structures with bare decorations. They didn’t have self-check-in counters yet but they did provided online check-ins with self-printed boarding passes. All international flights had to be checked in at counters, though.

Vanilla Air offered a few buy-on-board choices for foods and drinks but I was surprised they didn’t offer vanilla flavored ice creams.
