        @t25: Always curious about these services. I assume this would be done from the hotel? So do they have a like a pick up area for your luggage at the airport? Are they expensive?
        
        t25 on 19/11/2023 - 23:23
        
        @piggiepanda: Yeah you can arrange hotel pick up. Alternatively you can find an outlet that will send to airport for you.
        
        At the airport there are counters where you will pick up your luggage. ~$40 or so. Not "cheap" but definitely convenient.
      - Herbs on 19/11/2023 - 21:46

  Check Qantas website for reward seat availability. You can fly JAL as they're a partner. Would recommend.

Do any of the listed ticket sellers allow refunds if the flights are cancelled?

I had a bad experience with Aunt Betty, when I booked for tickets overseas in early January 2020. Covid happened, flights were cancelled, and eventually I was given "flight credit" with Virgin. No refund option. So I wasn't able to fly until this year, and the limitations on using flight credit meant I could only buy significantly more expensive tickets than I had originally paid for.

I'd rather avoid having that happen again, in case another disease, or war, or a volcanic eruption causes my flight to be cancelled again.

Or is there any work around, like maybe buying the tickets with a particular credit card, that has free insurance to cover the above situations?
- Kyorisu on 20/11/2023 - 07:58
  
  That's what insurance is for. Get a policy to cover cancellations.
  - Russ on 20/11/2023 - 12:16
    
    Except every policy I've ever seen has specific exclusions for war, volcanoes erupting (natural disasters), and since 2020, pandemics.
    
    Do you know of any policies that don't have these exclusions?
    
    I had free travel insurance through Bankwest credit card at the time, and all of my claims were rejected "because pandemic".
    - Foma2 on 20/11/2023 - 15:52
      
      Insurance is a gimmick - if we gonna have something COVI19 scale or bigger, e.g. full scale war in Europe or in South Chinese Sea, no one will cover your losses.

        +1
        
        @Foma2: You have to do your research. My flights cancelled due to COVID were covered back in the day. Today it's harder but a good start is filter anything that mentions travel bans. Also when you do have to make a claim never mention the reason for the cancellation.

  I was in the same situation as you, with Aunt Betty and credit offered.
  
  I checked with the ACCC who confirmed the normal consumer guarantees apply, and I was entitled to refund if I wanted it.
  
  I pointed this out to Aunt Betty, who did not respond. (In part probably because they were overloaded dealing with things)
  
  To cover myself I lodged a credit card charge back, and had my money returned that way.

What do you guys normally buy from Japan?
- motomon on 20/11/2023 - 08:07
  
  As much as I liked the second hand camera gear (great range) and retro gaming stuffs (great prices), in September the only thing ended up with was half a suitcase of anime figurines, ~$250 for 36 of them (Jujutsu Kaisen, Demon Slayer & My Hero Academia mainly). The thrift stores were the place to go (e.g Book-Off).
  - k3nnis on 20/11/2023 - 08:15
    
    Thanks. The only thing I can think of to buy are retro consoles. Maybe the n64 and neo geo aes. Or maybe the neo geo cd
- Russ on 20/11/2023 - 12:22
  
  I know a guy who is an expert in trading cards, who buys trading cards while overseas. Apparently some of the Japanese ones are particularly pretty compared to the normal ones, so he sells them for a profit when he gets back to Australia. They take pretty close to zero luggage space. He says the profit from the trading cards could cover the cost of his holiday.

  I go there for work every few months and it has been heaving with tourists. Lots of built up demand over COVID.
  
  On that note, while travelling in Japan is generally super cheap, and so is food etc, accommodation prices are definitely up over average.
OpenHand on 20/11/2023 - 09:58

Nice airline but a note for any of the Adelaide flights, they have an overnight stopover in Sydney which is a real killer in my opinion. If you can get a cheap airport hotel it may still be worthwhile, but adds cost and time to the whole thing.

Way back is easier.

Is a JR pass still worth it for a 2-3 week trip? I understand they've significantly increased in price recently?
- Russ on 20/11/2023 - 12:28
  
  +1
  
  It can be, if you want to see lots of places in Japan. I posted a possible itinerary that will save money here: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/comment/14461179/redir
  
  That trip has you spending the start of your holiday in Tokyo, then using the JR pass for the last week of your holiday, to see Osaka, Hiroshima, Kyoto and Himeji Castle. Hiroshima and Himeji Castle are taken as day trips from Osaka.

    Interesting - it does work out - not by a large degree like pre-price rise, but still there nonetheless. An alternative I had was to buy a single Tokyo -> Osaka/Kyoto Shinkansen ticket (14000ish yen, possibly cheaper if bought early enough), then a 5 day JR West Kansai + Hiroshima pass (17000 yen), then either fly out of KIX or take a domestic flight from KIX/ITX back to Tokyo, but as you say, there's a lot more flexibility (and not needing to go through multiple airports), and if you were to do the return trip to Tokyo on Shinkansen as well, the price comes about close to the 7 day pass - might as well get it then.
    - Russ on 21/11/2023 - 01:50
      
      Your way works out cheaper, even when factoring in travel to and from Tokyo, so your flights can arrive and depart from Tokyo.
      
      Then a 3-week trip becomes:
      
      Arrive in Tokyo.
      
      First week in Tokyo
      
      14,720 Yen Shinkansen trip to Osaka
      
      Stay a week in Osaka, using the 17,000 Yen 5-day pass to have day trips to Hiroshima and Himeji Castle on the Shinkansen, and finally to travel to Kyoto
      
      Stay a week in Kyoto
      
      14,170 Yen Shinkansen trip back to Tokyo
      
      Fly home
      
      The all-up cost is 45,890 Yen, cheaper than the JR Pass at 50,000 yen for the 7-day ordinary pass. And this way you get to spend double the time in Osaka and Kyoto, or even longer if desired.
      
      Note to new travellers to Japan: both the JR Pass and the JR West Kansai + Hiroshima pass, are cheaper if you buy them while you're in Australia. If you buy them while in Japan, they're more expensive.

I flew JAL Melbourne to Narita ( or Haneda) and then domestic down to Osaka's Itami airport. Caught bus into Osaka terminal, which was really close to Osaka central station.
Even though my JAL flight was an hour late arriving ( cos it was almost 2 hours late leaving Melbourn) and we had to go through immigration etc and then through security for domestic flight, we were escorted all the way by JAL staff and the plane waited while I power waddled between terminals.

This was posted 5 months 9 days ago, and might be an out-dated deal.
