Domestic flying in Japan (on the non-discount airlines) is still great. Published regular prices (not based on number of seats left), virtually no security, no ID required, liquids allowed. No problem checking in 20 minutes before the flight, and since the prices are regular, no problem to call 30 minutes before a flight because you're running late, and change to the next flight. If you're nice, probably no problem to flat-out miss a flight and get put on the next one.
