Yes, or at least almost - with virtual reality, of course! <a class=\"text-link lp-text-link-ext ext-link\" title=\"&quot;First Airlines&quot;: Homepage\" href=\"http:\/\/firstairlines.jp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">First Airlines<\/a> is the first company in the world to offer flights where passengers never leave the ground. Of course, this is either Business Class or, with a small surcharge, First Class. The fact that you can choose from these two options alone shows how crazy the offer is!<\/p>\n<p>The Japanese are known for having few holidays and often not even taking them in full. What's more, almost nowhere else will you find so many freaked-out tech freaks. It is hardly surprising that First Airlines is based in Japan, specifically Tokyo.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"die-reise-ist-das-ziel\">The journey is the destination<\/h3>\n<p>\"It's difficult for me to travel because it costs money and time,\" Hirokai Abe, the company's manager, told the broadcaster <a class=\"text-link lp-text-link-ext ext-link\" title=\"CNN: Travelling from Tokyo to Paris without leaving the ground\" href=\"https:\/\/edition.cnn.com\/travel\/article\/virtual-reality-flight-tokyo\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">CNN<\/a>. People can \"travel away from their everyday lives at any time\" - and in just 110 minutes, the company advertises on its website. However, the whole thing apparently works according to the principle: \"It's about the journey, not the destination\". The virtual holiday after the flight is almost completely absent - with the exception of a 360-degree VR city tour. At least short-term holidaymakers can avoid a few things, such as an expensive airport transfer, baggage costs and all the stress of the terminal.<\/p>\n<p>Passengers are also served by steward staff, just like on a real flight. They bring drinks and snacks as well as a menu that varies depending on the destination: Cheescake for New York and salmon tartare and onion soup for Paris.<\/p>\n<p>For many people, however, the flight is probably the most unpleasant part of the whole holiday and I don't even want to write about the food; and of all things, the package is the focus of First Airlines.<\/p>\n<p>I'd rather fly in a virtual fighter jet at <a href=\"https:\/\/vr-room.ch\/en\/2017\/02\/24\/zu-besuch-bei-fly-and-race-simulations\/\">Fly and Race Simulations<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Source: CNN \/ Spiegel<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"From Tokyo to Rome in an afternoon: a Japanese company offers flight simulations for people whose time and...","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":9576,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[67],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.3 -
