Kingmeow Posted October 13 Share Posted October 13 😲😲😲 $4,900 CDN for Premium Economy???!!!! Probably because it's short notice since your are traveling in November. But still! Link to comment
N-Osoi Posted October 15 Share Posted October 15 Must be due to late notice... ANA has occasional sales for off-peak travel periods from Australia. For example, return to Tokyo economy can be around AUD $1000. Usually a direct flight as well, and sometimes they offer a free domestic flight if you book it all at the same time. 1 Link to comment
RS18U Posted November 13 Author Share Posted November 13 So my trip to Japan is set to take off at 9 AM tomorrow morning, weather permitting. Yup, we have a wind warning up and ferries are all canceled for the night but hopefully it will have blown through by the time my first 13 minute puddle jumper flight is set to take off. Now for some last minute packing....  I will do my best to provide photos while I am there.  Will 6 Link to comment
Kingmeow Posted November 13 Share Posted November 13 Safe travels and buy lots of trains. I have still yet to review my photos and post my haul. It was rather big as we needed to buy a 45 liter nylon bag to hold it all.  🤣 3 Link to comment
RS18U Posted November 15 Author Share Posted November 15 (edited) OK, going to try and post some photos but since they are all coming off the phone we will see how that works!  Anyway a great trip over. The bumpiest parts were the 13 minute puddle jumper to start, and the approach to Haneda. Once landed I failed to follow the instructions my Japanese co-worker gave on which trains to take to get to the hotel which is near T-CAT. So got a bonus ride on the monorail. Other than that it's been a couple of subway rides, one during the Friday morning commute. Saw the locomotive at the military museum, along with a Zero. Also went to Tenshodo in Ginza. Managed to be rather restrained. Photos of purchases will happen when I am home.  More trains tomorrow as I go to The Train Museum.  Will         Edited November 15 by RS18U 6 Link to comment
RS18U Posted 14 hours ago Author Share Posted 14 hours ago (edited) My apologies for not doing more updates. The business side of this trip has been very intense, breakfast between 6 and 7 depending on the hotel, and lucky to be in our hotel room by 9. And a different hotel each day. Once home I'll be doing updates but as teasers here are some observations and a couple of photos.  I am amazed at the quality and price of used trains here. I have picked up not only a couple of complete train sets (1 DMU and 1 EMU) but some vehicles as well. The boxes may be a bit beat up but the contents look as new.  We have used everything from subways, to the Tokyo monorail, right up to Nozomi Shinkansen. Plus a few plane rides. And a SL.  Once home I'll post more photos but here are a couple to tantalize you with.  Will  Edited 14 hours ago by RS18U 7 Link to comment
