About this site

Who we are

Soratabi Gear Note (空旅ギアノート) is run by frequent flyers based in Japan. The Japanese section of the site covers travel gear and airline programs; this English section helps visitors plan domestic flights in Japan with official data.

Where the data comes from

The data pages use figures published by Japan's Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT) on punctuality, cancellations and passenger numbers of domestic airlines. We download the data automatically, check it, and update the pages when new figures are released. We process and chart the data ourselves; the pages are not produced or endorsed by the Ministry.

Accuracy

We aim to be accurate, but airline schedules, fares and rules change. Always check the latest information with your airline before you travel. If you spot an error, please let us know via the contact form (in Japanese, but English messages are welcome).

Privacy

The English data pages do not use cookies of their own or collect personal information. If you send us a message through the contact form, we use what you send only to reply to you. Our full privacy policy is available in Japanese.

Advertising

The English pages currently contain no advertising or affiliate links. If we add any in the future, we will label them clearly on each page.
