So I am in a bit of a quandary with the tail end of my OWA booking that comes back from the US via Tokyo in mid November. I have JFK-HND and NRT-MEL all in J, with a J flight back to Perth the following morning.
At the moment, transit between Haneda and Narita is not possible due to Japan's border rules, and even now with the COVID situation in Japan it's really hard to know what to think in terms of whether they will be open to independent tourism by them. So I can either white knuckle it up until the point of departure (in late Sep) or try and change it now to something back to Australia out of Haneda. The best option I can find is a mixture of PE/Economy/Business via BKK/KUL. I can bear the 3 hour BKK-KUL in economy, but the thought of runnning the call centre gauntlet gives me chills.
Is it worth chancing it for another couple of weeks and see what the Japanese government does, or try to salvage what I can, with all the inherent risks of changing my flights?
