Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie and their brood land in Japan with big smiles on their faces

Long-haul flights aren't the most pleasant of experiences, but when greeted by a sea of happy fans, it's no wonder Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie had smiles on their faces when they arrived in Japan.
The Hollywood couple landed in Haneda International Airport on Sunday with their children Pax, 9, and 5-year old twins Knox and Vivienne, who also couldn't help but bare a grin.
With Angelina, 38, stopping to sign a few autographs for the cheering crowd, it's no wonder an airport's arrivals lounge is considered one of the happiest places to be.

Her soon-to-be husband, was equally gleeful, but opted for muted earth tones of khaki, grey and beige for his travelling attire.
Intrigued by the ecstatic welcome to Tokyo from the Japanese fans of his starry parents, Knox grinned at the crowd as he held his father's hand while walking through the airport.
