      Good for people that are flying to move to a few country/city…or maybe for work and they have lots of gear.

      Spend hard earned money on stuff you can't buy in Australia? Or for much cheaper anyway?

          Getting a guest spot on Border Security and ending up with a ton of import duty fees?

          Priceless.

      Are you complaining about having allowance for extra luggage?

      • +6

        No, he's complaining about other people choosing to carry their allowance. Woke up and chose violence

        • Exactly. I travel very light but I don’t care what the rest of you guys do.

    • +16

      As a Japan frequenter I could very easily take 46kg worth of stuff home with me.. Maybe not other countries but some people live between countries and its easier to just live out of two suitcases than have two sets of clothes in different countries. So many different situations you would never have to deal with but others do.

    • +8

      i do. i bring a bunch of old clothes in excellent or unworn condition to other countries and always donate to the poor. huge difference between poor 1st world country and poor 3rd world country.

      i buy a whole new wardrobe and toiletries when i get to the country, then i buy a bunch of cool stuff i can't buy here in oz.

    • +9

      i put a smaller luggage bag inside my big one. check in 1 bag on the way but then end up using both for the flight back.

      Obviously it depends why you're travelling but you're making out its ridiculous to go shopping overseas

      I brought my bike to tour Japan on that allowance.

      Just add the extra special baggage fee

      My daughter is going there next year and will be staying with her grandparents. They will give her a suitcase full of stuff to bring back home!

      It's like you can't comprehend that there's people out there that are different to you.

      Last time we went to Japan we had 23Kg x 2 per person; and little guy had 23 Kg (infant <2 years).

      So in total approximately 115Kg.

      Our bags were relatively empty on our way to Japan; on our way back, our bags were almost full (IIRC it was around 106Kg in all). Japan is an incredible place to get high quality clothing, shoes (Onitsuka Japan Made; Red Wing stores have a much better collection; Kimono shoes are fking gorgeous etc), leather items, kitchenware… etc. For parents, there are incredible baby and toddler stuff there, including these adorable bamboo cotton kimono sleeping suits for bubs. These have been through the wringer and still in great shape.

      All that luggage was a bit of a pain till we got to the trolley bay. Wasn't a big deal after we checked them in. Grabbed a Maxi Cab on our way back from the airport.

    I'm on my last day now in Japan having taken advantage of a similar deal a few months ago.

    All ill say is :
    - Japan is a great place to visit (even with my limited linguistic skills)
    - Don't be surprised if you need the 2x23kg baggage allowance. I usually never exceed 20kg on a trip (usually 10-15kgs in my suitcase on arrival and max add 5 or so) but this trip was a huge exception. As a retro game tragic and record collector I had to buy an extra suitcase because I've found so many great bargains. One is currently 20kg and the new one is 13 or so. Oops (but hey, found records that go for $75+ at home for $5)

    • any specific places/shops you go to find bargains in japan? (assuming this is mainly tokyo)

      • +8

        It depends on what you're after. I traveled through Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka and Hiroshima (five days Tokyo, two days Kyoto, five days Osaka, then three more days in Tokyo).

        Overall this trip has been unreal. Japan is really well organized, the transport is first class and the people are really friendly. Highly recommend visiting the various castles, shrines and museums to get a good range of the cultural experience. I couldn't do Mt Fuji because of time, and it's been a strangely warm start to autumn here.

        For shopping, I highly recommend Bookoff/Hardoff/Hobby off. Japan is really good for second hand use of products so I found so many great records and game gear, ranging from original Nintendo to switch, same for Playstation. For me it was Sega gear. All I'll say is that the best bargains are outside of Ahikibara (it's a bit of a tourist trap for gamers).

        Shibuya is great for record stores, and I found Kyoto and Hiroshima (particularly in BOOKOFF) were great. For game stuff Surugaya is also really good, particularly in Kyoto. Super Potato (particularly the Ahikibara one) are a huge rip off.

        If you want more of a specific itinerary I did I'm happy to post it :)

        • +1

          Just want to add that specifically old/retro tech is great, don't bother if you go intending to buy a new 4090 or something. For some reason their new tech prices are crazy compared to us, even with a great yen/dollar exchange.

            @doobey1231: Yeah weirdly PC gaming is a pretty small market in Japan.

            Xbox is basically an endangered species.

            I had to laugh when I went to a netcafe in Sapporo, which in Australia and most of SEA are full of high end gaming machines and first person shooters etc. Was super quiet and had ancient machines barely running windows.

            Still hung around for a bit but was very confused.

        • +1

          Yes, please post your itinerary. I'm doing Tokyo, Nagano, Kyoto and Osaka

    • +2

      I guess for the first one or two trips, one wants to load up on souvenirs. The last 8 flights to Japan however I've just taken a 7Kg carry-on backpack with Jetstar though hah.

      • Definitely suspect you're right. Though I usually don't do that on trips. This was an exception!

    • You wouldn't have happened to visit the new Hard Off outlet in Funabashi?

      It's a retro gamer's wet dream. Well, my dream anyways…

      • Didn't get a chance sadly :(

  • Checking in is probably a little safer than carrying onboard. There are thieves on the plane.

    • that can happen anytime though but fortunately has never happened to me before

    • If anything checking in luggage is more dangerous. Far more reports of people using TSA master keys and getting into bags in order to steal goods.

      Especially in third world countries in Asia, its very prevalent - even in the immigration and custom folds.

        Especially in third world countries in Asia, its very prevalent - even in the immigration and custom folds.

        In Japan though? I'd sincerely doubt it.

        • +1

          In Japan, hell no

          • @AircraftFreight: Hahaha agreed. I found culturally, there is a strong undercurrent of "social responsibility" that is extremely refreshing (although there are a fair few extremely negative aspects to this "groupthink"/lack of individualism).

  • This is a good deal especially with the luggage allowance.
    Clothes and shoes can be bought for way cheaper. I brought 12kgs of luggage (mainly old clothes and shoes for disposal) with me and returned with 31kg (Max of 32kg on a different airline) plus carry on.
    The alternative to a luggage within a luggage is to buy the bags and padlocks at Daiso. They're lightweight and easily portable. We currently use them as grocery bags at our home.

    My family and I usually go once a year with Jetstar, but because of all the delays and cancellations, on the last trip both flights had significant delays and trip before that we stuck in Narita for an extra day and a 1/2. With mainstream airlines doing sub-1k flights it's not worth the drama.

    • thats what travel insurance is for right?
      it would have covered you for the last minute accommodation you wouldve had to book but if you weren't in a rush to get back home, that would mean another 1.5 days in japan to go around - not sure whats around narita but i'm sure there would be just local places you can go out and eat locally… :)

    i love jal and japan

    Japan is nice but only if you travel light. Imagine carrying 2x check in luggages with you on crowded train rides, up and down numerous staircases and lifts, from train station to taxi stands, public buses, hotels etc etc.. One backpack is all you need and that'll save you a lot of headache. I travelled with the family and with all cloths etc, we could fit everything in 3x 10 kg back packs and omitted check in luggages altogether (we did have check in luggages included in the flight, didn't use it lol). This saved us a lot of time and energy during the holidays and could focus fully on enjoying our time more..

    • +2

      Pay for luggage delivery from hotel to hotel. It takes 1-2 days, but I managed well with a backpack of overnight toiletries, laptop, chargers, etc.

      The only times I had to handle luggage were to/from the airport, and I ONLY traveled through the major train stations (with elevators/escalators).

    • +2

      1x checked luggage per person is fine on trains.

    Anything like to come up for late April 2025?

    • Doubt it, school holidays and public holidays mid to late April. But you never know.

    • I've seen similar deals every few weeks on various airlines, including jal for the last couple of months

  • None from Melb ?

    • No love for the best city in Aus

      • No love for the most indebted city in Aus

  • JAL and ANA are Australia’s new favourite airlines.
    Q can take a walk.
