My airline was to take off at 7 in the evening from Narita. Though Narita airport is called "Tokyo International Airport," it takes about two hours from the center of Tokyo to the airport. We passengers are usually requested to check in two hours before the take off, so I left my house at 2:30 and went to a hotel with a bus stop for the airport in my mother's car. The bus for the airport was involved in a traffic jam and arrived at the airport after 5:30 which was 30 minutes behind the time table. The delay was no problem because the airline was delayed almost 3 hours. It was so late that I could receive a meal ticket of 2,000 yens as apologies of the airline. After I enjoyed a rich dinner, the airplane took off Narita at 9:45. Soon after the takeoff the next dinner was served and I got full.
