Its just an hour flight. Why not. The service are quite good as well and some do offer drinks for free. As its domestics, check in is really quick and you can even arrive in the airport 30mins before departure.

Yes as you dont need to go through immigration. You can do the check in on your phone, drop your bags and then walk to the security. I have done a lot of one day trip previously and I can really plan my time as the trains are pretty much on time. Also most flight are flying off Haneda instead of Narita. I think now there are some domestic flight from Narita too but not many.

hmm.gif why budget airline? The cost is a lot cheaper than Shinkansen?

Given the same choice, think I'd go with shinkansen unless you land in Narita and you're flying almost immediately to Osaka. Otherwise the time and amount spent travelling to airport, the flight, plus landing and getting your stuffs etc is easily about the same as shinkansen (or even more).

I've checked both Vanila Air and Peach Air, about 6000yen for 1 way, where else Shinkansen is about double of it

Then that's decent. No reason not to consider flight, apart from the trouble of having to go through all the check points laugh.gif

Actually if you fly from Haneda there is only one check point which is the security check point. It just like taking a shinkansen. But then if I were to go to Osaka from Tokyo, for business I will just take the shinkansen. However if its further south like Hiroshima of Fukuoka I will take flight. Tried once to Fukuoka and it was damn tiring for 5-6 hours....flight just 1 hour.

I see. I find flight troublesome hmm.gif you know, with boarding and all. Shinkansen is faster and hassle free. Given a choice with all conditions the same, I'd still choose shinkansen for the comfort (more spacious than planes!) if the train ride is 2-3 hours. But yes if train ride is 5-6 hours vs flight 1 hour, the latter is definitely better. Unless you wanna enjoy the scenery hahaha.

True that flight need to spend extra time to go airport and all, and I still need to travel to kyto from Osaka if I were taking flight. Maybe I should just pay extra for Shinkansen to buy more time?

Btw, Shinkansen ticket no way to purchase online right?
