But fingers crossed we will get that email about the change in aircraft before our flights on JL43 and JL44 in February!
And side note, if you're also going to Japan for the Sapporo Snow Festival/winter activities. The early snow forecasts are looking very promising

An edit to add in at 15:11 BST.
I've just received a notification from AV about JA08's second test flight (customer acceptance flight) between TLS - TLS with a flight time of 1hr 42 minutes.
I hope so too but without really knowing what is going on, I will believe it when I see it! I am going snowboarding across Hokkaido for 10 days (travelling where the weather takes us) but I will also be arriving in Sapporo on the Saturday of the closing weekend of the Sapporo Festival which will be nice to experience (2nd time for me but 1st time for my friend) at the same time. Very glad to hear that the early snow forecasts are looking good
What I need is daily fresh powder during Feb 8th-19th though haha! I assume you are also going for winter activities?
