Peach Aviation was marketed as the first real low cost carrier of Japan. Following the lead of its parent company, ANA, Peach took branding very seriously. Peach has started Taipei-Osaka flight the past October and I took the chance to fly their domestic route during my latest trip to Japan.

I took EVA Air’s second generation Hello Kitty Jet, Hello Kitty Loves Apples, for my first trip abroad this year and I took the same plane for my last trip abroad of this year (I also took the vary plane for my last trip abroad of last year, for that matter), and I took the other two Hello Kitty Jet during my business trip to Seoul this year.
