After spending an unforgettable week in Japan back in May, part of the journey back to Canada involved a bit of a detour to Hawaii to fly on ANA's Airbus A380!
The famous "Flying Honu" flies exclusively between Tokyo and Honolulu, and so this made for a great opportunity to fly on one of the rarest A380s in the world!
