it was overnight at narita airport. everyone affected got full refunds and were provided sleeping bags, water and snacks. i wouldn't mind spending the night at narita and getting ramen or bento box.
It's caused by strong cross wind. After a few failed landing attempts, the flight landed on the alternative airport. When it finally reached the destination airport, it's 7 hours late. No immigration staff was on duty at late night. No transfer flight could take off at late night. Therefore passengers were stranded in the airport until next morning.
Starlux is a new small airlines with few airplanes. The delay of the flight caused cascaded delays.

OH and the exchange rate is crazy good right now, 1300-1400 WON per $ is SWEET! Most everything is CHEAP! We got a 32nd floor studio in a fancy Hapjeong highrise for $100/night all in, on a Korean Airbnb site. It had 2 awesome Han River views and a rainhead shower with a door. (Not a wet bathroom floor, which is common in Asia)
The Blue House (the Korean Whitehouse) is now open to the public for FREE, best to get a reservation..

At the street vendors, we ate breakfast for 3 for $9! Lunch and dinner can be had for $10 or less. At more upscale locations near Taipei 101, we ate for 4 for $100. Note $100 is for quality fresh seafood and multiple alcoholic drinks, which would have cost double in the US.
Also note that only capital one and Discover have zero international transaction fees. Therefore, you must exchange cash to be safe. I took $1000 USD, exchanged to 30,000 NTD for 3 weeks and it lasted with $100ish left over.
I am originally from Taiwan but left at 5 years old. This is not a poor country. You'll see rich ass ppl and multiple Bimmers and Teslas and numerous skyscrapers etc. Everything is cheaper than anywhere in the US, except realestate. An 800sq feet 1 bed, 1 bath apartment in Taipei will cost about $600k. Food is excellent. Make sure to visit night markets with street food vendors. You can numerous things for $1 or $2 USD.

Tip: Use the same apps to get a portable wifi egg. It was like $2-3 per day for unlimited 4g. Worked well in 99% of the places I visited and was good enough to upload/download pics while on the road until I got back to my hotel wifi. Pick up at the airport and drop them off at the airport too. Very convenient and dirt cheap.
