Japan has always been one of the top travel destinations for Malaysians, with more China Chinese Airlines being introduced to Malaysia- Malaysians have more options and routes to travel to. This time, we flew Juneyao Airlines (吉祥航空) from Penang directly to Shanghai (transfer) then Osaka. Juneyao Airlines does not support online check in so we had to physically check in at the counter in Penang International Airport 3 hours prior to departure. It runs on A320-Neo so the seats can be quite narrow and they do not serve main on this flight- just beverages and some light snacks. Since its visa-free in China for Malaysian Passports, we took the opportunity to explore Shanghai before boarding the next flight to Osaka. The flight from Shanghai to Osaka offers a more spacious seat. We arrived Osaka in the evening and rented a car before starting our journey to explore the Kansai Prefecture.
