Hi Marko, no problem at all on short flights. Some of my favourite routes are Lisbon / Barcelona; Manchester / Lisbon; Narita / Fukuoka. But sometimes I only have an hour or so to fly and even these routes are not an option. But I agree with you "fun" is the key word.

Any route is plausible with freight haulers. if it doesn't feel right, I just create a freight haul charter.

Not anymore, as neither ANA or JAL have any 747s left. They do still fly 777-300s around on domestic routes, I believe.

Yes, the 777-300 is still used a lot on the Japanese domestic routes, as is the 777-200. JAL has already retired three of their domestic 777-300's, with 4 remaining in service. ANA still has all (7) of theirs, I think. As far as the 747 goes, ANA retired their last 747-400D in March 2014. JAL had retired all of theirs a few years earlier. Even the 777-300ER can sometimes be seen on domestic routes, but its not common. Sometimes they fly a domestic hop in continuation of an international flight (i.e. JFK - NRT - CTS/ITM etc. (arriving in late evening), and then flying the opposite way next morning (the international destination may change).
July 26, 20178 yr Austrian also sometimes flies the 772ER from Vienna (LOWW) into Frankfurt (EDDF) when more capacity is needed or for pilot training. Bernhard Schiel / LOWW
