This morning, I watched a video from Simply Aviation about the world’s shortest A380 flight, which is operated by Asiana between Seoul and Tokyo’s Narita Airport. It isn’t, by a long shot, the shortest ever A380 flight (that goes to Emirates’s former Dubai - Muscat flight with the jet), but I figured it was still worth a go in the sim!

Pushing back and getting our four Rolls-Royce Trent 900 engines started for the short flight down to Tokyo

Banking to the southeast to avoid North Korean airspace
Heading out over the Sea of Japan near North Gyeongsangbuk. Because of turbulence over the ocean, there was no snack or drink service on this sub-two hour flight
Starting our initial descent into Narita near the city of Toyooka (not to be confused with Tokyo)
Hi Tokyo! Tokyo is the world’s most populated city, with 41 million residents in the metropolitan area. That’s like two New York City or four Lima metros. There are more people in the Tokyo Metropolitan Area then there are in 158 independent nations
