We were there last June, needing the east exit (for Kabuki-cho) and one of these assistants came to us and led us there via a long walk including an elevator ride (!) - we were very grateful for the help.

Cannot afford J or (of course) F so the flights are something to be endured more than enjoyed - especially as (unlike my wife) I cannot sleep at all en route. The planning is always exciting, and destinations have never disappointed, so far.

Strange because I have been too cold so often on flights that I now always pack a jumper in carry-on, even en route to Bali. On an SQ A380 in 2010 (upstairs in Y) I had to ask the CSM for help as I was freezing - my bare arms felt like ice. Yet on QF to Osaka (A330) last June in exit door seats...
