Actaully I also in the same boat as some of the posters here.

But the difference is til now I have not buy any flight ticket (flight still wide open) yet (hint: my leave start very soon beginning of next month) nor any hotel booking (used to stay in capsule but plan to move to proper hotel room for obvious reason). Local mates there were telling me hotel were quite cheap at the moment.

Not sure if worth the risk going to Tokyo and those other major area (Fukuoka/Okinawa) at this point of time. The infection rate seems to be stagnant (as opposed to Korea) at the moment, after all they had Off Day yesterday. Well aware of the some folks that were reported to be posititve few days ago. Not sure if it is good news or what or typical cover up stuff?

Or I should just junk this trip together and spend my time on something else instead.

Read through the trip where some folks were just decide to junk it due to unnecessary risk on this (that was few weeks before the hoohah as of today)

No worries about it, just seeing how they were handling the issues versus Korean (sudden spike) or Singaporean (happy hunting down those related to the infected) felt something it is odd. Not to mention the mess that made with Diamond Princess.

Yeah, kinda sad that my annual leave that was forced to be taken due to this issue and yet I am unable to make use it

You should quarantine your self. This is basic knowledge. U just been to country that had serious virus outbreak, how you know you are not affected? Later you spread to your family and friend and your working colleague.

Alot company will ask you quarantine 14 days (no pay leave) by knowing you been Japan / Korea / China. They scare you spread the virus to whole company.

Coming back to malaysia today
The virus make it less enjoyable because have to wear mask all the time..

Still lots of chinese tourist imo they queue up every morning in front of drug stores to buy masks

Lol

s.korea do not have short supply of their mask, they have tons of stock
u walk around myeongdong, many of the store are selling KF94(their equivalent of N95) @ 3000 won(every store selling same price)

not sure what price is their KF94 supposed to be selling but it's fixed 3000won everywhere i go(even different district)

go or not will depend on how is your bro's lifestyle
no exercise, drink alcohol and whatever lifestyle or the type that has a healthy lifestyle and healthy eating
u don't get to run from the virus as it's already across the bridge from us, u need to have a body that can fights it

many people has the misconception that the virus will disappear, it won't
SARS, H1N1, TB, denggi is still here...it's the way we deal with it only

so you're ruining someone's trip for your own trip?  

your bro is selfish ego if booked air asia promo yesterday rm200. if me, free also don' t want. what for go Japan if I got chance to infect my family. if he already booked before corona virus expanded I can feel it

AirAsia Japan offer option for Nagoya - Sapporo route

https://newsroom.airasia.com/news/2020/2/28...a-sapporo-route

how about we from KL flight to Sapporo 

Booked my trip with ANA on Dec 2019 and should travel this month. But due to the outbreak and no sign of improvement, I had cancelled last Sunday.

Called ANA in Msia, and they said so far only can get partial refund as mine was promo ticket and reschedule was not applicable.

So sad as this was my first time travelling with ANA, and was going for sakura. Hopefully things would get better soon.

Stubborn Airasia!!

When are they gonna take off the greedy mind !?

Hi guys, i wish to cancel my japan flight with AA this coming April. Any chances to do that?

Mine tonight

Sigh ..

No, i decided not going already

Just tat AA tix burnt

I have lose hope of AA giving options of full refund for travellers cancelling their trip due to concern of COVID19 outbreak.

I have lodge complaint through MAVCOM, through AA twitter and to AA customer service centre in KLIA2. No positive response so far. Chance of getting full refund are slim at the moment. Only travel ban to Japan by Malaysia government would make AA refund our ticket.

My flight is on 17th March. My strategy right now is to wait until 2-3 days before the date before I cancel my ticket while hoping for government to impose travel ban before that. Next step will apply refund for my JR Pass.

One question though, can we cancel our ticket or just let it burn by not checking in to the flight?

Thanks.

Dude, change our flight date is on our expense, even with coviid19 outbreak like this. Last time i check, if i reschedule my flight to november, the fare is even expensive than my current ticket - its like i bought a new, more expensive one and burnt my current ticket as well. That's why i want to cancel.

AA is really being irresponsible, I guess they will learn their lesson if all their flights are full with infected people.

I still remember the typhoon that caused massive flood in Japan last October 2019
