ANA are doing a repeat of this deal except this time there's more dates (see below) and they're available in May, June, August and September.

Most flights in my testing seem to be $1077.86 return and I was able to do Sydney-Haneda-Fukuoka-Haneda-Sydney in May for around 3 weeks at this price. If you haven't flown ANA before you get 2x 23kg checked bags in economy.

      • Clear on 26/01/2024 - 21:23
        +2

        I believe it's only one checked bag (correct me if I'm wrong), however if you were going from Sydney to Haneda and transferring direct to a domestic flight your bags would carry over.

        Otherwise you can use Yamato to send your bags between hotels. It's a good service and available pretty much everywhere. Alternatively go over with one bag and buy a suitcase tax free from Don Quixote to bring back with you. You'll easily fill a suitcase in that place.

        • Owgasm on 26/01/2024 - 21:43

          Yeah thanks, I thought this might be the case, so good to be mindful for the domestic flights.

            @Owgasm: if you purchase the domestic leg together with your international tickets in one booking, the checked bag limit for international luggage applies. (2 x 23kg)
            So its better to purchase it together in one booking than booking the domestic leg separately.

              @tensai: To sweeten up the deal NH flights from Sydney now fly to Terminal 2. Same building as the domestic flights.
              Not only this save you time at the immigration (which is mostly just the passengers from the same flight as you), you straight walk into the domestic luggage drop-off point as soon as you clear customs.

              • Clear on 27/01/2024 - 13:42

                @Daibaw: Especially good for a return to Australia with Excel Hotel right in the domestic departures. I stayed there a couple of months ago and it's a fun terminal at night.

      • gudplr on 27/01/2024 - 08:16

        Normally 1x20 for ANA and JAL, but if you're just doing the golden route it's easier and better to take the train instead.

        It's also far better to pack light in Japan and take a backpack only as going up/down stairs, across town and on trains with a suitcase is super painful.

      • Kaiserschmarrn on 28/01/2024 - 00:43

        I will wager that the domestic leg on ANA will probably give you 2xbags on this deal.

        Because with the JAL explorer pass domestic flights (available to foreign passport holders with any intl return flight) you are given the international baggage limit of 2 bags.

OOL very poor ground service at international terminal, lots of complaints on delays due to gate issues, and luggages were so slow that no one piece on carousel even well after everyone cleared immigration.

      When you find something you're interested in you should Save it on Google Maps. Then when you're over there you'll see something like this and you can visit them as you travel. There was countless times when I opened maps and saw something nearby I completely forgotten about. You can categorise them too with different icons.

        exactly what i do. use the categories in google maps to break them up or create your own. i do
        stars = restaurants
        green flags = places to visit
        little blue suitcase = where the airport is/hotel is
        etc etc

        Not entirely true. If only at city area, buses and metros are very good. If going out to national parks of less populated area, can save lots of time by driving. For example you might be able to visit 2 parks in a day driving compared to one with public transport, simply due to bus/train schedules..

      • hayne on 27/01/2024 - 11:35

        It's absolutely not insane to rent a vehicle in Japan. Really depends on the sort of holiday you like.

        I've done both in Japan (rail holiday, hired a car) and they're both awesome.

        The rail system is one of the best in the world. Between major cities, a bullet train will be much faster than driving or riding. The fact that you can send your luggage point to point (whether you're in a car or on a train) makes travelling by train even better. Easy, convenient.

        If you love road trips and the freedom and flexibility that comes with that (just jump straight on your car or bike, leave when you want to leave, stop wherever you want to stop and explore stuff off the beaten track), then Japan is fantastically well set up for that too.

        I'd avoid driving in major metro cities (other than to drive in and park at wherever you're staying) and I found the process of hiring a car was more complicated than usual. But actually driving there is a breeze. Drivers are very polite, the roads and highways are very well maintained, getting around was easy and everyone follows the road rules. In three weeks I saw one person speeding - a dude in a Maserati absolutely caning it in the overtaking lane. Within a minute I saw two highway patrol cars tracking him down!

        If you'd prefer the convenience of rail, then Japan is perfect for that. If you like to drive or ride, it's brilliant for that too.

    JLs Economy on their B788s and B789s are way superior to any other 787 product on the market due to their seating configuration. A 2-4-2 or 8 abreast seating versus ANAs and everyone elses 3-3-3 or 9 abreast seating plan.

        • mash6280 on 27/01/2024 - 13:56

          So with this deal would it be worth flying SYD to TOKYO return and use bullet trains for the rest of the trip? Or use this deal to book internal domestic flights to all the destinations?

            +1

            @mash6280: I mean you can still visit Kyoto but just be aware of the overcrowding. Like the Arashiyama Bamboo Grove and surrounding areas during the day has insane crowds and if you want to cross Togetsukyo Bridge be prepared to line up and wait 10 minutes just to cross the road. Fushimi Inari Shrine is the same so I went around 11pm and only saw a dozen others. By around 6am that place is getting packed.

            The free economy flight is definitely worth it if you want to go to the other end of the country. A flight to Sapporo is a good idea as you can't get a Shinkansen the whole journey. You'll make it to the bottom of the island and then have to transfer to other train lines. A flight to Fukuoka is worth it if you want to see the southern island, i.e. Kagoshima as a Shinkansen from Tokyo to Fukuoka is about 6 hours.

            Doing a flight from Tokyo to Osaka I think is a waste of time given it's about 3 hours from Tokyo on a Shinkansen.
