    For about 5 years I have flown over around this price with Jetstar, but never have had to pay more comming back! They may be staggering their Australian & Japanese flight specials - guarantees them more money for the return.

    I meet so many Japanese around Brissie & GC (& more Mosburger shops now), Jetstar probably doesn't need to tempt them here with low fares. It is now OK for Japanese to holiday again after prolonged grieving.

      LOL I've slept in parks, beaches, beside rivers in Japan - only to wake to very curious old men who think it is a good laugh & invite me for a coffee or something stronger. Fishermen fed me raw fish like I am a seagull. So (at least around) airports should be easy. And someone is bound to take you home. But Japanese take law enforcement very seriously, so inside airports they may feel something should be done, politely.
      With more Japanese travelling, it may be a while before flights get cheaper again.
      Kampai!

        Rumours are not proof - spent time in Tokyo after the Tsunami with international team of scientists who were independently checking radiation. They also went close to the exclusion zone. No problems reported around Tokyo.
        Anyone can make wild claims. What is your proof?

        How soon after the tsunami? There have been reports of radiated particles being detected in Vietnam and south of (but isn't much of a health scare if any).

        1 month after. The guys were living in the same hotel, so as the only Foreigners there, we got to do a lot of drinking & talking. The Japanese Government didn't help as they covered up or delayed information. So rumours replaced facts. (But not as bad as my time in the 2008 earthquake in China. 80,000 dead but all we got was just propaganda.)

        In the US, some were testing for radioactive cars, which made people think it was far worse than it was.

        I was an anti-nuke protested a while back, so was very intertested if there was a problem in Tokyo - had a month there. But after the initial plume & winds in Tokyo's direction (before I arrived), there seemed no real issue. But the place was so quiet and festivals were cancelled.

        Every time there is a deal for a flight to Tokyo, the same inane & ill-informed comments appear - usually as someone tries to make a cheap joke at another's suffering.

        Maybe if your family was missing along with tens of thousands of others, friends dead - you would think that is funny! That is an everyday reality for my friends in Japan. Have a heart!

        I'm pretty sure if this happened to Australia there's gonna be at least one guy in Japan making a joke like that.

        The death of family is a serious matter to Japanese people. A generally very respectful people - but there are arseholes everywhere. Still doesn't make it OK, and trying to make out it is a stand against PC is just BS.

        My point is, these sort of jokes are going to happen. Get over it and move on. Nothing is sacred these days and everything is just too politically correct for anything to be seen on the same page anymore.

      • 

        INFIDEL on 14/06/2012 - 22:25

        Yes, jokes like this will always exist, as will racism, sexism, torture, rape, murder, etc. Being silent about them is to approve of them. And what is wrong with pointing out they are in bad taste? It is just a comment, not sensorship.

        Get over it & move on - what a cop out. That was what was said to rape victims in the Army (release of inquiry documents today).

        You are saying inane comments are to be the currency, and criticism of them is not to be tollerated - sounds like you are wanting a new political (in)correctness.

        I think some are confused between being PC and displaying even basic human decency. For those making flappant comments, would you have thought its ok to joke about Black Saturday victims, or ANSAC soldiers who died for Australia?

        Saying that others do it isn't an excuse. If you see someone raping another human being, would you turn around and think that its ok to do it or that its the norm these days so just get over it? I believe most of us are brought up to be above that.

  Also note, with Business you'll likely have to pay an extra $500 or so to get access to a lounge, FF points, etc.

  It's the start of Summer in Japan and I was speaking to a Japanese friend of mine tonight who works for a company contracted to Toyota.

  He said that with most of Japan's nuclear reactors - which supply a large part of the nation's electricity - still in shutdown - there are moves across the country to save power.

  Companies like his have recently taken the unheard of step of allowing staff to no longer have to wear the normally compulsory suits and ties to work.

  This is allowing them to run their airconditioners at warmer temperatures to reduce power consumption.

  A lot of businesses are also turning off lights and only running the basics such as refrigeration during the day.

  It will the interesting how long these kinds of adjustments continue for.
