Those of you who have crossed the ocean to come here to Los Angeles and Japan
are always concerned about something related to your travel between Los Angeles and Japan.

If you have anything to say or questions, please feel free to write.
I'll try to write "something" as well.

Example :
What means do you use to call when you return to Japan?

Which seat on the plane do you prefer, Aisle or Window, front, back,

Which airline do you think has the best food?

Which mode of transportation do you use to get to the local area?

and so on and so on

Trusted Traveler Programs (Global Entry, TSA Pre ✓ ® , SENTRI, NEXUS, and FAST)

I had a horrible crowd at LAX when going to Japan I avoid the security checkpoints and go to the KTN line, which is easy ・ and quick with TSA PreCheck, but this number expires in 2021. When this topic came up before, I was told that Global Entry would work over a wider area, so I said I would go with Global Entry, even though it is $15 more this time.

After further research, we decided to keep the TSA PreCheck, which only allows entry and exit by air, and Global Entry, which allows border crossings by land and sea for only $15 more over 5 years. This means that you can drive across the border into Mexico or Canada, or even go overseas and return by luxury cruiser.

However, I am old and have little or no interest in international travel except by air. Also, while I can renew my TSA PreCheck online, I have to go to a federal office near LAX for an interview ・ and fingerprinting to apply for a new Global Entry. Thus, I have a year and a half to renew my TSA PreCheck, but I am going to stick with TSA PreCheck for now.

On a side note, TSA PreCheck is the same as Global Entry for U.S. lawful permanent residents. I had misunderstood until now.

I bought a mid-May LAX-NRT flight for $489 when Singapore Airlines was having a July 4th sale, but ANA is going to add one more LAX-HND flight starting next March, and I was wondering what the fare would be in mid-May next year, so I checked.

Then I heard that the fare is $719 if you make a reservation at this time. That is more than $100 less than I expected. Of course, it is not a sale price, so there is a fee as shown below, but you can change your reservation ・ and get a refund, and seat assignments are free. Delta's Haneda flight was $717, also on sale, which is very close to ANA's price. Also, paying with miles I got only 30,000mi + $ 61. Both companies felt this was low for May.

These low fares are only available now, but they will go up as the boarding date gets closer and sometimes double in less than 2 weeks.

ANA LAX - HND
NH125 17:35 - 21:15 * NH126 21.05 - 15:15
Reservation change *** Available
Refund *** Available
Advance seat selection ・ Booking Class *** Permitted ( Some fees apply )
Free Baggage *** 23kg/50lbs × 2
Total Amount Paid *** USD719.15

Delta LAX - HND
DL7 10:04 - 14:00 * DL8 15:40 - 09:55
$ 717.15 or 30,000 mi + $ 61.05

If you are a frequent traveler or a frequent business traveler to Japan and a frequent YouTube viewer, you may be familiar with the YouTube star "Onoda".

He posted "ANA ( Los Angeles ⇒ Narita ) Business Class Flight Review" in May.

I guess business class is a big deal and the ride seems comfortable. I checked the business class fares for the mid-May dates I mentioned in #1273, and they are $4,661. If you shift it a few days further, it's $5,161.

I'm a cheapskate, and when I saw this amount, I thought I'd better get used to sitting in the poor seats. I was a cheapskate when I saw this price, and I confirmed again that I would be fine with economy if I could fly to Japan safely even if I had to sit in the poor seats for 11 hours. Some people say that the fatigue upon arrival in Japan is totally different between economy class and business class, but I have found that if I add a day to my stay in Japan, stay at a hostel for $30 per night, and take two $20 Tylenol PM tablets containing 24 tablets at bedtime, I recover from both fatigue and jet lag quite well.

I was a poor man from the bottom of my heart, or rather, I was a poor man with double the money.

#1275,

> Is this only 3000 miles round trip!

It seems so. However, on the delta.com site, when I check the box "Departure ・ Return date is flexible", the table calculated from the dates I entered shows the numbers from May 8 for departure to May 30 for return. The matrix shows the numbers from May 8 to May 30, depending on the day,

30,000 + $ 60 to
45,000 +
48,500 +
60,000 +
65,000 + $ 284

and the range of the number is very wide. and the range of the number of items was very wide.

#1275, you might be interested to try and enter the itinerary 5/10 - 5/20 and you will get some interesting numbers.
