    Why You Should NOT Book flights with Booking.com or GoToGate.com

    It’s been interesting looking at this conversation. We have booked several hotels in the last 3 months with QANTAS. While I have no complaints (in fact their support has been exemplary) I discovered that it is another example of a 3rd party relationship. In Narita the hotel kept referring to...

    Haneda; Early Baggage Drop and Lounge Access?

    That is terrific and interestig - thanks and makes sense. Yes - if anyone was to ask this lowly bronze travelling in J I would say check in your bags (T1) and find somewhere to hang out in a restaurant. As security is so easy behind check-in you can just go through pretty much when it is time...

    Haneda; Early Baggage Drop and Lounge Access?

    You are certainly right about the prices. At T1 though we had to travel pretty much to the end of the terminal to find a selection of restaurants. But the food was worth it!

    Haneda; Early Baggage Drop and Lounge Access?

    Actually it was the oddest seating. Not a flat bed which made it a strange experience sleeping. Sort of 3/4 slope and seating without privacy screen, etc. A 2 2 2 configuration.

    Haneda; Early Baggage Drop and Lounge Access?

    The QANTAS experience has - by comparison- been excellent on this OWA journey. And yes - suddenly their main lounges at least are looking really good. I don't think I will be doing another OWA anytime soon tho. I aged years in the rotten booking process and the inefficient flight options Re...

    Haneda; Early Baggage Drop and Lounge Access?

    Sparse indeed. There are 3 types of beer, soft drinks from a machine, some nuts, coffee machine, a whiskey and Saki and that is nearly it. If you are coming for a domestic flight, bring food with you! There is no problem bringing it in. Make sure you bring cutlery too.

    Haneda; Early Baggage Drop and Lounge Access?

    Thanks for all the advice. Checkin at counter smooth and early into the entry into the Sakura lounge. I am truly shocked though. No food!!! I just never expected that. It’s a glorified waiting room. Maybe it’s just a domestic lounge and international is different? And at this airport one has...

    Haneda; Early Baggage Drop and Lounge Access?

    There is so much to love about Japan, I must admit. That kind of thoughtfulness is a good example. Although I nearly had palpitations checking in online just now. Getting the messages 1: @ NOTICE: Least preferred seat has been assigned. 2: © Seat 7C: No movable arm rest. ...until I...

    Haneda; Early Baggage Drop and Lounge Access?

    Good oh. Yes - I can do that. One final question - Am I able to use the automated baggage collection machines to do a multi city journey (HND-KIX-BKK)? Dont want the bags coming off at KIX! And/or is there anyone to assist given that I am there 90m before checkin. Sorry! So many questions....

    Haneda; Early Baggage Drop and Lounge Access?

    Thanks very much for all the info. It is a holiday tomorrow here and also the Limousine Bus only leaves from the hotel at 3.30. Pretty early for our flight. @elanshin - is there an Apple store in there? I need a new charger for a watch. Sigh..... somewhere between here and Brussels!

    Haneda; Early Baggage Drop and Lounge Access?

    I am checking in tomorrow (Friday) at Haneda for a domestic transit to Osaka with JL in J (Part of a OWA) on route to BKK. I already have seat allocation and will have checked in online. I understand that I can do a machine baggage drop and wanted to ask: 1. Will it work about 90m before...

    Seating together JL

    So this wrapped up really well. Made sure we checked in super early at the airport and the collective JL staff could not have been more helpful. I had also rung the call centre (based in London) and a note on their system possibly helped the process along the way. An hour after checking in...

    Seating together JL

    on the JL check in page. Several posters have mentioned ringing and getting the seats in advance. TBH I hadn’t thought of that as a possibility because the notifications I had were that I would have to pay or wait til 24 hours before (which I did on this occasion). As it happens I rang this...

    Seating together JL

    Thanks for the quick reply and we will get to the airport early. I also have a. Alert on Expert Flyer. And you are right about it being ok if we are separated. This is interesting. I am only a lowly Bronze but I have never had that opportunity. Only 24 hrs before. Unless I have missed...

    Seating together JL

    Hello. I have online checking in to JL (FRA-NRT in J today only to discover that my wife and I are apart with no seats available. (Travelling on a OWA) Is there any experience of the likelihood of being able to fix this at the airport? Thanks
