hi all,
i'm planning to go but not so soon, maybe next year or 2 years but i just want to plan ahead.
i may not have an itinerary yet but the question that i have for now, is which airline is best and not too expensive(ANA is out of my budget) and i'm looking to go for the snow festival at hokkaido. If I want to save on flights should I book a direct from Pen to Sapporo or Pen to any place in Japan, and then local flight to Sapporo?

ShirakawaGo is another good choice. I've been there in winter and it's wonderful. Will definitely return again (but it's also not cheap).

airasia free seat will be this month or next month, high chance on next month
maybe around 1k per person, transit in KLIA2

yes, normally Monday 0:00 start, need get ready on Sunday night
and before 2~3 days will announce the free seat in FB
airasia BIG member can priority one day to purchase it, join it for free

P/S : free seat is not the cheapest fare in airasia
*

of course not, example airport tax for KUL - KIX return flight, the airport tax only RM165
but you never get this fare for osaka flight

you only can get cheapest RM650 for osaka return flight in free seat promotion, airasia still need profit....really free seat then what tony earn, haha
free seat only happen the destination not far, example KL to penang
*
i see..
finally understand on the free seat situation..
thanks for the info thumbup.gif

rm600++ is still acceptable.
well japan is indeed the land of real kobe/wagyu so spending that amount is still worth it.
