Received a call from AA agent, and I managed to change my flight to Haneda instead, even can change the travel date to later for free. Took it and now syncing up with a couple of friends for RM400 cheaper

yalo, really tulan.
i scare after all the hoohas and i still cant board the flight only *touch wood first*

u extend your stay?
oh means i can change the date to a day earlier or later, issit?

Yup, I asked the agent on the phone and he say sure can change no problem, no charges.

My new flight is 2 weeks after the original.

So how is the process of changing date? You just tell them the date/time that you want and they do everything for you? What about additional charges like insurance/food/check-in luggage/seat choosing?

Yeah, just tell them what date you want for your new flight(s).

I got back my insurance and luggage weights I chose from my original flights. Didn't pick a meal or choose a seat so... you should ask.

so the choices of route change are:
1. KUL-DMK-NRT, reach 8am the next day
2. KUL-DMK-NRT, reach 7pm same day
3. KUL-HND and reach 10pm same day

is that right?

KUL to HND as plan was 10pm. But always reach 1030pm or 11pm. After clear custom, your chances miss the last train up to 70%.

Even I so well know to Haneda Airport also got 50% chances miss it if that day was busy day at custom section or busy runway.

Homework have to be done well.
Limosine bus info homework must be done.

I heard that booking separate flights (KL to Bangkok, Bangkok to Narita) is very risky because if any chance your first flight delayed and you miss the second flight, they will not reschedule your flight for you, is this true?

i reroute my KL-NRT to KL-HND (a day earlier), so basically plan is not affected, just need to pay for extra accommodation for the 1st night

I m looking at park royal haneda hotel..it's link to the airport.
Our 1st destination is to kawaguchiko lake, few question here:

1. The easiest way to travel from haneda to Kawaguchiko station is via Keihin bus right?
(instead of take train to shinjuku then to kawaguchiko by bus)
2. Can we reserve the bus ticket online? or I need to buy it from Bus Ticket Sales Counter in haneda? what time the sales counter close?
3. is there any toilet in the bus?

Travelling with small kid, nervous @__@

thanks in advance

1. Yes. Keihin got bus direct from Haneda to Kawaguchiko. But you need overnight at Haneda Airport one night.

2. Only you can read Japanese. Japan buses booking ticket website on English mode very problematic. Not 100% correct info.

3. No, but bus will schedule stop at highway rest area. From Tokyo to Kawaguchiko that near range. That will be one stop only.

My advise are as follows:-

1. Be not afraid to ask people Japanese people. They are many of peeps outside there is willing to help you on direction. Although Japanese is shy especially when you speak foreign language (English) but indeed they are very helpful. Tips: Start you conversation with "Sumimasen" excuse me in Japanese to break the ice.

2. Use MAPS.ME the Ultimate Offline map. I use this app a lot when I travel abroad especially in Japan. Quite useful when you sometime lost sense of direction especially when you come out from subway station's exit.

Just heard news of airasia x cancelling kul to nrt.. Dammit.. My flight is on 4th Sept midnight plus all accomodation booked via airbnb..

Haneda timing really sucks. Supposed to arrive on 5th morning now arriving at 4th late night. Is there any place to rest in haneda like a capsule hotel or something? Travelling with family hence abit mah fan.

wow...now even harder for sabahan to travel to japan
BKI => KL => BKK => NRT
haneda on the other hand have bad timing
was planning to visit on jan 2017..haizzz

There is a First Cabin hotel in Haneda T1

If you have money you can stay in Excel Tokyu Haneda.

Otherwise stay at Toyoko Inn, last shuttle bus at 12:12 from International Terminal.

If miss bus can take taxi, not too far.

Looks like AirAsia X will be going to Hokkaido soon (direct flight i guess). Now a bit regret for booking to KIX...

First Cabin Hotel at Heneda Terminal One.
At Heneda International Terminal have to take free shuttle bus to T1.

But the price for one night can go up to Rm5xx per night on peak season.

Even not far but taxi fare still expensive. Midnight rate .....est Rm200 around to reach Toyoko Inn.

Rm550 to reach Shinjuku.

Hi, did anyone tried using any Malaysia local bank debit card to withdraw money at Japan ATM before? How does the rate works? How much is the processing fee?

So its confirmed 10000% that all flight to narita is cancelled?




Hokkaido?

Hope they allow me to transfer my narita flight to Hokkaido.
Then i no need to go through those troublesome connecting flights.
