ANA will be operating a special charter flight to Hong Kong on Wednesday the 27th (today local time in Japan). You will find that many of your airline favorites (aka @FlightBlogger, @TodayintheSky, etc) will be on that flight.

I am doing something a little different with also doing a destination piece on Tokyo, so I will be taking the excursion flight on Friday October 28th. This flight will consist of about a 90 minute flight including flying over Mount Fuji. The coverage will start at about 7pm PDT on Thursday October 27th (we are 16 hours ahead in Japan vs Seattle).

I am looking forward to it all!
