For MHUpgrades, i just did a minimum bid of RM890 for business class for return leg NRT-KUL.

I wonder what is the likelihood of being accepted? any1 has experience on this? would it be easier to ask for it at the counter for the upgrade?

oh ok good to know.
I am okay with delay of up to 2 or 3 hours.
As long as no cancellation I am good

someone in kopitiam created a thread mentioning this like last week

he put minimum bid
he got outbid by a lot

probably cus they email everyone every time someone bids higher.

well, u have to be stupid by keep bidding it up...so high that u can actually just buy the business class tickets

Anyone ever use klook to rent a car in Japan?

Just go to official website and book

https://rent.toyota.co.jp/eng/

If I have some tax-free items and the shop already sealed in plastic bag, can I put them in checked-in luggage? Do we need to show the customs officer at Haneda Airport before checking-in? If yes, where is the custom counter located at?

Second question, some of those tax-free items are not sealed (non consumable). Can those items be checked in too?

Many thanks

Japan Custom don't care about this because you are away. They don't give any fxxx. This is Malaysia Custom Job.....This is the Time Malaysia Custom charge you import duty tax.

So means better to put as hand luggage. Then just before boarding, take out from plastic and throw away price tag. Can work?

If the Item comes with Box, throw away the box also. Example..Gundam....you need throw away the box for sure.
Janji less than Rm500.

1 box of Gundam ok....2 MG set....you better throw everything away. Watchers 100% throw the box away...

Google Seach type Hokkaido Car Rent...all company will pop out.
4 Adult means normal Sedan car. If want more spacing then rent Touring.
Sept...Peak season...car will be rent out fast + very expensive.

Touring as in toyoto corolla touring?

I saw times car rental offer quite a good deal though. not sure reliable or not

Touring can be any Brand...can be Toyota, Subaru Legacy Touring. Big space if you alot big luggage. If don't like Touring, SUV are alternative.
Touring / SUV normally alot available during summer, it will rent out instantly during winter because of ski equipment.

Hi, want to ask for some advise/experience. Going to travel to Osaka @ end of September 2025.

For ICOCA card we can add and use the digital version in our apple wallet.

Does anyone have experience of topping it up using Apple Pay in Japan itself? especially using MBB Visa/Amex. Want to verify if it works as I am planning to use Apple Pay to top up digital ICOCA card(in Apple Wallet) as it goes during the travel. Also to use as backup in case of cash running out. Thanks.

I have digital suica on my iPhone, and regularly topped it up with my Apple Pay-linked CC while I was in Japan with no issues.
I’m assuming ICOCA would be the same.

Yes can top up no issue, if worry can apply for a wise card. I used wise when topping up suica using apple pay.
