WTF!!! I travel from Tokyo to Sapporo on Oct 11!!!

AirAsia Japan has said the budget carrier will cancel hundreds of flights over two months before it ceases operations under the current brand at the end of October.

AirAsia Japan, operated jointly by Malaysia-based AirAsia and major Japanese carrier All Nippon Airways (ANA), will suspend 14 daily flights from September 1 to October 26, according to a company statement.

The carrier said the cancellations, which will reportedly affect 14,000 passengers, was because of a lack of planes to service all its routes.

The affected routes include flights linking Seoul to the central Japanese city of Nagoya and Tokyo to the northern city of Sapporo.

The carrier will cease operations by the end of October, just over a year after it started flying out of Tokyo's Narita airport in August.

Announcing the dissolution of AirAsia Japan in June, the Malaysian carrier cited a "fundamental difference of opinion between its shareholders on how the business should be managed, from cost management to where the domestic business operations should be based".

ANA however said the venture dissolved because it was not well known in Japan and could not register profits.

The Japanese carrier plans to launch a new budget brand in November.

I think he is asking whether to change now or wait for it to drop. Seriously nobody can predict the future 100% but judging from the weak RM the JPY might go up further

bak from japan last week. I took AAX return flight KL - Tokyo & ANA return flight Tokyo - Chitose

For me if ur flight time is more than 3 hours better don take AA. Really suffer bcox of the small & sempit seat. After i exp this, i think next time i rather add rm300 to rm400 for mas or JAL.

ANA service is really good. Really love to smile 1 n their staff is really friendly. Well most japanese in service line really always smile & friendly 1. When i back from chitose to tokyo they used a very big plane, i think is boeing 787. This plane is very comfortable inside, spacious & less noise from outside. langgar cloud also lik nothing d.

Hey guys just popping in to say hi after reading the whole thread. Very informative! Many thanks to the regs here!

I will be in tokyo for 7d 6n from dec 17th. Just booked last week. Now me and wife just reading everything we can lay our hands on online, and we bought a travel japan book from lonely planet. We do have a real rough itinerary atm which I won't post yet until we get the details down

I however do have one question,  as we are arriving in haneda at 10.30 PM,  is it possible to rush through to catch the last train leaving the airport, and switch at deimon to shinjuku?

Or do we just chill and pay a bit more for the midnight buses? Rush and take the bus before midnight to avoid the surcharge?  We have determined which buses/train to take its just the time concern.
*
RC were correct... after settle the custom wil b 11.30pm d... by the time you come out, look for train or bus info half hour gone d... you may try to ask the info counter officer located at the exit the arrival hall for detail and they r very friendly to help d. Sleep airport la... rest till 5am then wash face & breakfast n catch the early train or bus lo... or u book the hotel nearest to airport lo... but since hotel there need to check out at 10am so i rather save the money for other purpose. btw i travel solo la... so the need to have good rest mayb diff from couple pair la... hehe... but i did see lots of ppl overnite at airport lo...

Wanna ask some favor, anyone know what was the Credit Card need to be use in Japan, and where should i register. And What should I do if i booking a hotel, was it need to pay money first or when we arrived then pay it?  biggrin.gif
*
What credit card also can use 1. Just call your bank and tell them you going to japan from what date to what date then ok already. Agoda need to pay 1st. Booking.com is pay later 1 I think.
