At least I think I am going to Japan. I have a round-trip ticket from New Jersey to Tokoyo on reserve. Why NJ? Because, of airline pricing weirdness. A business class ticket from EWR is ½ the cost of a ticket from one of “my” local airports.
Right now, I am playing around with where to go. And how to get there. And can I find a room that’s OK once I get there? Japan has lots of “events” that suck up all the hotel rooms. But, with a train pass, I can always go somewhere else.
The Twilight Zone
This entire trip process is an exercise for my aging body and brain. Of course, I could go with a tour group. But, this is more fun. And it has a sizable element of risk. What could possibly go wrong?
This is all subject to change. Only $15 has been spent. That’s the holding fee for the plane ticket.
And not like there aren’t hourly flights to EWR from DCA. Since you are traveling business, goin the the Polarus club in the international terminal. Swanky….
Yes. One of the flights leaves for Tokyo from IAD. They fly EWR-IAD-HND for ½ the price of just the IAD-HND leg.
