I previously reviewed Cathay Pacific’s flight CX524 between Hong Kong and Narita and bemoaned the timings. Leaving at one in the morning and arriving around six, having moved forward one time zone, it’s a flight on which it is hard to get any rest and I find that...

If you are in transit somewhere and have time, a transit tour can be a great way to see the area – often for free. We have previously featured free transit tours in Taipei and in Seoul. There are also free transit tours offered in Narita airport, which...
Headed to Japan and looking for a cheap way to get Japanese domestic flights? As long as you don’t live in Japan, you’re eligible for a Japan Explorer Pass. Both of Japan’s airlines, ANA and JAL participate in this program, great! Here’s how to get it: Cost: one-way...
Peach has a nice sale, but it’s only cheapest ex-Japan. They fly between KIX Osaka Chitose and HKG. Tickets from KIX to HKG 3690 yen, which is less than 300 HKD. Travel dates are attractive, as it’s valid through the prime summer season and you must book by...
Peach Aviation launched their 5th anniversary sale today. They are calling them a Peachket (which I assume is a mash-up of Peach and ticket, weird.) They’re also calling themselves a flying train, weird again. Maybe Japanese just doesn’t translate to English well. Aside from the weird name, the sale...
Looking for a sweet deal? Vanilla Air has a sale now for flights between Hong Kong and Tokyo (Narita) starting at $378HK. I haven’t flown them myself yet, but I would expect tight seats, and ala carte service. Expect to buy any meals and pre-check-in seating assignments. Book by...

Japan is famed for service and the route between Tokyo and Hong Kong is competitive with lots of high paying passengers, so it is easy to have high expectations for Cathay’s lounge in Narita. However, I find it to be underwhelming. The lounge is located in terminal two....
Hope everyone is having a great holiday season. Wanted to write a few of my comments about the whole Hokkaido snow storm flight cancellation debacle and recommendations on how to handle similar situations in the future. In case you haven’t heard, due to 96cm of snow, flights were understandably...
The Korean Air lounge is located on the public side of the airport, before security. It is almost directly beneath the Korean Air checkin counters – one just needs to go down one flight of stairs. This location means that you need to allow sufficient time to clear...
Ticketing This was ticketed as part of a One World Multi Carrier award ticket. Checkin It’s always a time consuming hassle to get to Narita from central Tokyo and this time was no exception. The checkin was over in seconds, and the priority security lane which is near...
