This time we didn't use ABC to send our suitcase to the airport as they don't have round-trip service for Haneda customers, so we got Yamato (Kuroneko). I took this picture while the driver had to go move his truck because he blocked someone else' car

The day after Yamato picked up our suitcase, we got this membership card on a cute piece of paper in the mail

Airport bus ticket booth is located near the west exit of JR Shinjuku Station just outside Keio Department Store

The bus stop is across the road. 1200Yen to Haneda airport

Grabbed a really quick lunch at this Coffee Shop

My surprisingly tasty Ginger Pork Set 1100Yen/US$11

and not-so-tasty Fried Pork Set 1100Yen

The plane to Osaka was larger than I thought (10 seats across), and not full. We got the tickets free by using our mileage points, so the seats felt extra comfy, haha!

Getting tickets for the bus to Osaka Station

Our bus departed from Number 4 stop

Fully stocked amenities

The room may be tiny, it has just about everything one needs including a mini hot plate, a humidifier and a fridge

even an air purifier

A cute little safe
