Ah i see, I supposed you booked under Expedia bundle kan? Yes, some of the deal was quite tempting. But decide not to do so since worry when shit hit the fan (eg during typhoon) and what not. If these does not happen then I say it is good deal.

Even my booking via company appointed travel agent also headache when this happen. Airline will just say "please refer to the travel agent"  laugh.gif

Once i asked my buddy in airline also cannot directly touch my booking as it will trigger auto chargeback to the agent who does the booking laugh.gif it need the agent itself to move things around.

I will waiting for SIA to announce further travel waiver since my travel will only happened in July. They are only allowed up to 30th June.

Yes, you are right. Bundle package...

A good drone video about Tokyo under Emergency State.
Shooting by China 8k Raw Team. This team are one of rare foreigners had license to fly drone inside Japan. Even Japan big local news such as NHK also don't had drone license to fly inside Tokyo. Alot Japan news had to rent Helicopter to do news coverage from sky. Helicopter Company (My working company tongue.gif )

Nice video. thumbsup.gif

Sad though to see the quiet streets of Tokyo and the deserted tourist attractions. I can almost say that it would never be the same again, even after the pandemic dies down. Weird enough though after watching this video, I sorta miss the crowds we always despise last time.

12 years isn't that far in relative terms. The stadium & infra will still be there, it could be more motivation to hold more events at Fukushima, Japanese efficiency will still be there. Big question is; will Abe still be there. It all depends if vaccine can be made and used worldwide by 2021.
*
Its not so easy as the Olympics is a big event. Infra might be there but not the Olympic Village. It was build as apartment and sold to individual owners who are suppose to get it this year after the games. Now they will get it next year, I guess.... Imagine if its 12 years later....

I’m actually planning for a trip to Japan but mostly not be Tokyo or Osaka. I’m thinking of going to Nagoya for my next trip. Any nice cafes there?

Just a question. Is the AA Rm499 deal still valid? According to my bro he got a refund(with AA points) due to it being cancelled, but I see others seems to have planned out their trip on 2021 via this deal. So has it been cancelled or not?

Bro, got email from AA that my flight got rescheduled to 20mins earlier.
Seems like they are not going to cancel the flight.
Was thinking to postpone my plan and reschedule my flight to 2021.
How about you?

Bro, just yesterday i managed to get credit refund from AA. And yes, i did get the rescheduled message this morning even though my booking is no more in the system.

I managed to get credit refund by log complaint to mavcom after AA rejected my credit refund request.

My flight supposed to be on 22 jul 2:25PM from KUL to HND. (Rescheduled to 2:05PM)
Flying back supposed to be on 31 jul 8:55AM from FUK to KL (Rescheduled to 8:15AM)
In fact, AA did call me as a reminder of my FUK rescheduled flight few days ago.

Yeah, you have to wait for AA to reject your request first, then you can log complaint to mavcom. It took me less than a month after i complaint to mavcom to get the refund from AA.

more worried about COVID. If Covid subsided, they will open up as their economy is suffering badly

as long they reactivate the visa waiver mean it's safe to go
it's not just us...they block all the visa waiver completely

korea now to us also need visa to enter

every country is suffering badly, to recover...it require everybody to spend...that is the only way
doesn't matter locally or international

Your flights will be cancelled eventually, unlikely Japan will open up by July. Then they will ask for your options.

Even Oct, I'm a bit sceptical .
