I already kena the Narita cancellation.

AirAsia is still in the midst of informing the affected passengers. You can contact them trough the premium hotline or drop a message at their livechat requesting their pre-flight team to call back.

AirAsia is offering 3 options to affected passengers.
1. Shift the flight to Haneda at no additional cost. You may also change the travelling date within 14 days of the original travelling date.
2. If you insist on flying to Narita, you will have to take a Kuala Lumpur - Bangkok - Narita flight. You will need to pay extra for the Kuala Lumpur - Bangkok luggage. Fly-tru is not available so you will need to collect your luggage and check in again at Bangkok.
3. Get a credit refund to your AirAsia account and you can use it to book a flight for yourself or anyone else within 180 days from the day you have chosen this option.

Cash refund is not available.

if shift booking to haneda flight, it is the same evening flight as usual or theres extra flight?

i try to contact the hotline but busy.

there's only one flight to haneda. 2pm arrive 10.30pm

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?

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

Sabahan should fly BKI-TPE-NRT.
There're loads of LCC flying TPE-NRT/KIX.
Namely Peach Aviation, Vanilla Air, Scoot, Jetstar.

re-checking in and immigration is still a better option then going to haneda at a weird time and having to spend a night there. There's a chance of missing the last train out from Haneda.

Best Airline from Taipei to Japan are Eva Air. So far there are no other line that can beat Eva Air to Japan.
The Fly routine so much, You can choose any time you wanted to arrived Japan.

Eva Air always my 1st choice to Japan 

but that would increase the cost by alot...right?
fly from kk to taipei isn't cheap actually
not sure the TPE to narita though

KK to Taipei via AA, when promo can get RM99 one way.
Taipei to Tokyo/Osaka, when promo can get TWD3000 return.
Exclude meal & luggage.
Save u the trouble to fly 3+ hrs to KL & transit then fly 7+ hrs to reach Japan. Unless u really love flying & enjoy the extra 2000 miles of air travel.

Anyone can suggest me good hostel / hotel at osaka area for 12 pax + 2 children (less than 4 years old) for 6 days stay? RegentCid sempai help please.
The trip is from 24 oct to 30 oct.

Yoroshiku

come to think of it... rerouting to kul-dmk-nrt is a better option than kul-haneda.. no need to spend another night unnecessarily.

your flight to dmk, did you choose the 5pm flight or 6.45pm flight? 6.45pm arrive 7.50pm. Need to check out, collect bags and recheck in right?

which is why I still cant make my decision which route to take! 

@limchee: have you bought your luggage? need to buy for both kul-dmk then dmk-nrt? or AA will waive the kul-dmk & dmk-kul luggage?
