こんばんは！
Japanese daily life podcast のAtsushiです。
このPodcastは、日本語を勉強しているみなさんに向けたPodcastです。

さっき、北海道に帰ってきました！
大阪と違って、まだちょっと寒いですね。

今日は、日本の国内を長距離を移動する時は、国内の格安航空会社を使うのがオススメかもしれない、という話をします。

日本では格安航空会社のことをLCCといいます。これはlow cost carrier の略ですね。英語だとBudget airlineと言うみたいですね。LCCという言葉はどこで作られたのか気になりますが。とりあえず、LCCでチケットを買うのが良いと思います。

		ピーチ・アビエーション
		ジェットスター
		バニラエア
		春秋航空
		スカイマーク
		エア・ドゥ
		ソラシドエア
		スターフライヤー

などがあります。もしかしたら今はないものもあるかもしれないです。

航空券は安い分、サービスはかなり限定的です。
席の指定、ドリンクやフード、7キロ以上の荷物の持ち込みなどは有料です。そういうサービスがいらない人は、料金をおさえられるのでとても良いと思います。

ぼくが良く使っているのはジェットスターです。

北海道の新千歳空港から、大阪の関西空港に移動する時に使っています。シーズンによりますが、¥5,000ぐらいで片道のチケットを買うことができます。有料のサービスを使わない時にそれぐらいの料金になります。

飛行機の移動時間は2時間ぐらいなので、新幹線よりも早いですね。移動時間も楽しいですが、さっと短時間で移動したい方にはオススメです。

ちなみに、知っている人も多いと思いますが、海外の方はJR rail passという新幹線を日数限定で乗り放題できるサービスがありますね。

JAPAN RAIL PASS

これはかなりいいサービスだと思います。日本人は残念ながら使えない…、海外のみなさん、うらやましい！

ということで、少し話がそれましたが、LCCのことを知らなかった方は、ぜひホームページなどで調べてみてください。長距離の移動の時はとても便利ですよ！

ということで、今回も最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！

ではまた！
