    Trains of Japan - A Review Thread

    Shinano wide view This is a JR limited express service from Nagoya to Nagano. In that direction only, the front car (green car) has a nice view right behind the driver if you book row 1.

    Another maybe train - Shonan monorail from Kamakura to Enoshima. This one is suspended from above, makes for an interesting ride.

    Trains of Japan - A Review Thread

    Tokyo Monorail - runs between Haneda and Hamamatsucho Is it a train? Maybe... but whenever I go to/from Haneda, I like to catch this anyway as we don't have a monorail in Sydney any more.

    Trains of Japan - A Review Thread

    Nice thread, I might see what I have when I'm back home. I flew out of KIX a few days ago and the ANA lounge was small and crowded. Another option besides the rapi:t is the nankai airport express, which is just a regular train departing from the same station and takes around 10 min longer than...

    Kris+ app

    I tried paying with the kris+ app today and it's kind of annoying to use. The merchant had to open the kris app on their tablet, I then had to find the merchant in my kris app, press pay, scan the QR code, manually enter the amount to pay, and then wait for the merchant to verify the payment...

    Turkish Airlines Approved for More Flights into Australia

    The website below has a nice summary of the international passengers by major airlines https://www.bitre.gov.au/publications/ongoing/international_airline_activity-monthly_publications Not sure about the number of seats but it shows passenger numbers which is closely correlated. ANA isn't even...

    Qatar Airways bans Youtuber

    Many of these youtubers love to create a narrative or exaggerate things. If you go through Josh's videos, you'll see basically every one makes it sound like it's the best flight ever or the worst flight ever and they will focus on certain things to make it that way. Unfortunately doing that...

    Qantas boosts international capacity, wet lease Finnair aircraft

    Assuming I can select one of the aisle comfort seats at T-80, is it worth taking those or stick with my current selection of 51D/H?

    RTW Classic Rewards adding flights

    OP's original booking works out to be 329,700 points by adding up all the individual sectors, so it still doesn't really make sense why it would be capped with an ineligible JQ flight there in the first place 144,600 points MEL-LHR on QF 90,000 points HEL-HKG on AY 43,800 points HKG-SIN on CX...

    Sydney airport check-in closes 2 hours before flight?

    Those attachments refer to what the airlines/some random website think is the optimal/recommended time, which is not the actual check-in closing time. A quick google search says that Air NZ international flights close check-in 90 or 120 minutes before departure...

    Seat disappeared for reward booking on JL

    NRT to MEL on JL is always scheduled as a 788, and their international 788s are only configured as skysuite or the old flat shell seats. https://www.jal.co.jp/jp/en/aircraft/conf/787.html In a previous J reward booking on JL's 788, all the window seats were blocked for me also.
