This have to depend your Travel Insurance cover policy. Some including Flight delay some don't.
But most Insurance Delay start count 5 - 12 hour above.  Less Than 5 Hour you cannot claim anything.  Depend how premium you buy your insurance. Even the world most premium one also start as 5 hour delay.

wow..5 hours, i did checked out flight stats and seems like 91% of the time the flight is on time... i hope i do not hit thebalance of the 9% ah

Thinking where is the best place to shop for snacks in Tokyo?

Local family grocery stores, or departmental stores selling japanese snacks

If by snacks you mean those various boxed snacks that tourists like to bring back as souvenir (eg Tokyo banana), the Tokyo skytree mall and diver city mall at odaiba are two places with a ton of variety.

Is priced reasonable? Im looking for a good buy though

I had emailed pupuru to enquire whether I can collect the wifi device late night, surprisingly they told me is 24 hours at Haneda.

Anyone tried collecting there before? Isit convenient or better off having send to your hotel directly?

Food, you can still sacrifice. Buy cheaper food from Family Mart or anything but transportation you cannot save.
Well, as you know Japan transportation is very efficient and obviously that comes with a cost. laugh.gif
I spent around 4.2k for my 9 days trip for food, transportation, souvenirs and gifts for the special one. tongue.gif
Souvenirs are not cheap in Japan. Also, I stayed at my friends' house so those costs didn't cover accommodation.

Wow.. im thinking how much should i budget for my 6 days trip in tokyo.

I ve paid for hotels and disneyland via online.

Im jz thinking of brining RM2500..

6 days food 6x100 = RM600
6 days transport 6x50 = RM300
Airport transport 50x2 =RM100

I still have 1500 to go, i thought should be enough if i want to buy some stuff or splurge on 1 or 2 meals

RM600 for 6 days food. Means each meal you cannot spent more than 1000 Yen // RM30.
Like this your one whole week only can eat Sukiya (refer to page1) or Yoshida or Family marts // Dawson Bento set only.

Then whats a recommended budget for 6 days in Tokyo to cover for food, transport and some small sourvenirs.

I had 8-piece sashimi for 1000 yen at Tsukiji Market. I don't know how to appreciate sashimi but since I thought I was in Japan should try once before I left. laugh.gif

Ya, it's expensive and the only benefit is you can get the product before departure.

Have look through all Global Advance, eConnect and Pururu, but my arrival time is 22:30 at KIX and I got to leave the airport next early morning , so delivery to KIX post office is not possible as their working hours is 9am to 5pm. 1st night stay in temple lodge Koyasan.

Since I need internet connection after leaving the airport. Think I will just settle with the So-net data sim which can be purchase  from the vending machine 24 hours in KIX.

Anyone use this before? Compatible with Galaxy Note 4?

I think there are some 24 hours pickup service on the router from the airport

RegentCid, wanna ask for your advice on the minimum num of days travelling in Narita airport. I am kinda limited on budget rm1500, will it be sufficient? Mostly backpacking, overnight at airport and go sight seeing.

How many days is that for?

Since you can find Sushi Zanmai here in Malaysia(raw material and chef is different) but why not give Midori a try tongue.gif

Is the sushi zanmai here operated by the same group? I dont think so right
