After a night in Narita at the ANA hotel, we woke up early for breakfast, then prepared for the flight to Sapporo. The original 9am departure was pushed to 10am at around 7:30am in the morning. I suppose weather condition was still not ideal. Anyway, this gave us more time to eat breakfast and sit around in the hotel lounge. When it was about time, the hotel shuttle bus took us to the terminal where we gave in our checked-in luggage. We had to also show our portion of the boarding pass as we had to use that to reboard the flight.

counters for Group Check-in as well as for CX580D.
We went
through immigration again, but our passports were not stamped since we
were taking a 'domestic' flight. Time was a bit tight so we went straight
to the gate.

Boarding
was a very slow process this morning since the boarding pass machine
didn't seem to be able to take in the small portion of the boarding pass.
As a result, the ASO had to manually check off the passenger list by
noting the sequence number.
Since we
held Business Class boarding passes, we were amongst the first to board.
Whilst boarding, I noticed a change of aircraft, but the cabin crews
remained the same.

While the
cabin crew greeted me, she told me that this aircraft was one of the first
to have the new Business Class fitted, so the changing room was present
too. Having heard that I went to take some photos after take-off.

A
refreshment was served on this short sector. We were offered sandwiches
which was great.

After the
refreshment service, I went to the galley to chat with the crews and I was
informed that a new set of flight deck crew was flight this flight. We
then chatted about some sightseeing stuff in Sapporo etc.
It didn't
take long before the seat belt sign went on for descend. The captain
informed us the weather in Sapporo has improved and the snow has stopped
for about an hour. Approach was very slow today, probably due to the very
strong head wind. Also the approach was quite bumpy. Anyhow, the landing
was smooth, great landing =D.

The crews
were again very professional and everything was great. It was a fantastic
flight =D.
