ZIPAIR Roundtrip Nonstop Flight: San Jose, CA (SJC) to Tokyo, Japan (NRT) Expired

Anyone know if they'll have more flights in April? I'd rather go in April even if it's more expensive but they have no flights at all after March.

If you have no clue, it's pretty brain dead to yell "Do better mods!".

It's not their job to spoon feed you. They generally go above and beyond in providing additional details on deals.

Maybe lift a finger for yourself for once and do a Google search. Then you can contribute what you find here instead of whining like a helpless, entitled baby.

any idea when they will remove covid vax requirements? by now we know they dont stop it, so hopefully someone will know when Japans border will fully open without the hoops to jump through

FYI, Narita airport is about over an hour train ride to Tokyo.

disease and colds are inevitable, but yeah, i wouldnt classify people who question vaccinations with a track record of negative side effects/inability to stop transmission, as "idiots" I would say it would be quite the opposite!

I took Zipair from LAX to NRT in July and I learned a bit.

You will pay for absolutely everything, including water, coffee, etc. Their premium package includes 1 meal (its pretty small and comes with a tiny bottle of water), slippers, a very nice blanket, a blowup neck pillow, and ear plugs. It also includes weight upgrades for carry-on and checked luggage. In LAX they didn't check the weight of my carry-on but in Japan they checked it.
If you don't order meals ahead of time then plan to at least bring two meals or a bunch of snacks with you as it is a 10 hour+ flight.
Don't switch seats with anyone or else the flight attendants will get very angry with you since you order all food via your phone and your name is assigned to your seat.
The inflight entertainment is a joke and has about 10 movies, so bring your own. Also the inflight was completely down from LAX to NRT. Paid Inflight Internet did work to NRT but on the way back to LAX it didn't work.
The plane was probably the cleanest plane I've ever been on.
Their customer service is just slightly above Spirit.

If you can get JAL or ANA for slightly more then go with them. You get what you pay for.

Lastly, Japan is similar to the Pacific Northwest in Jan-Feb, cold and possible snow in Tokyo. End of Feb to March "should" be pretty nice though.

People in Japan wore masks during cold seasons (prior to COVID), even if they had allergies, or a sniffle. It's considered courtesy to the Japanese. To avoid spreading disease to others (diseases and colds are absolutely preventable, it's not 100% preventable no, but when you look at a population scale the occurrence would be far less if everyone bought into prevention, vaccines wiped out polio until antivaxers are letting it pop up again thanks to pure ignorance). When they buy food they stand there and eat it, and throw away their trash. They consider walking and eating to be rude as the chances of the food falling on the floor, or on someone else to be a possibility (not a likelihood).

So... with that in mind. Think about whether a country that takes public health and cleanliness seriously (bidets in every public bathroom, no seat covers), would want a bunch of people who don't share the same ideals visiting their country. Especially when the visitors are going to disrespect or disregard their norms.

I'm not going to debate with you on the efficacy of vaccines or masks. Do what you want (ignore what sources you want, take info from sources that justify your viewpoint). But don't ignore the impacts your actions have on those around you. The Japanese frown upon PDA. Even holding hands is considered very aggressive. Just realize Japan isn't America, far from it. Better yet, anywhere you travel isn't like the USA. So don't expect to go somewhere with completely different customs and beliefs, and expect to do whatever you want to. The respectful thing would be to at least try to assimilate to the norms of the place your visiting. Respect their way of life, and their land, just as you would expect tourists to do so here.

japan may be open but you're required to to submit an itinerary so they know where you are at all times and you're not allowed to deviate.
