I have registered to attend. Coming solo tho but it will cost less points as don't have to fork out for +1s airfare. Are many people arriving for drinks Thursday night? At the moment, my plan would be to arrive early Fri am (7ish), and leave late Mon night.

Me too! Very excited about this do . Haven't met anyone from who said they were interested but that should be good.

I'm coming solo so it makes it even cheaper .

I am looking currently at HND flights and thinking of arriving 28th and leaving on 1st / 2nd.

There's a sale that ends June 30 that has return economy fares on QF from Oz for AUD1200, but departure needs to on or before 27th March, otherwise the price jumps to AUD2150. Q fares ...

Also a reasonable amount of award classes U, Z & X for those cheap Qantas "Any Seat Awards".

eightblack - Since you are a moderator, perhaps you may now wish to change the title to "Japan DO - March 29-31, 2013".

Edited to add: I've just registered. Are there really only 5 tickets left! Is this DO popular!

I'm amazed by the amount of interest in this DO! How can I miss a DO in my native city?

I've hesitated expressing an interest until the dates are confirmed but since I'll almost certainly be in and around Tokyo over Easter I've gone ahead and registered. I'm not permanently based there but am happy to help with the language (e.g. interpreting) or anything else during or before the DO.

restlessinRNO, as far as I can see there are still 34 tickets left. You are missed in NUE, but it will be nice to see you again in Tokyo.

Yes, I am happy I went to bed late yesterday... A heavy sleeper in a different timezone might miss it entirely

Although I hope to be in Tokyo during those dates, It would be selfish for me to register for a 'ticket' as I would only be able to dip in and out of events since I will be in the very small minority of JAPAN DOers who are there with the responsibility of looking after an infant child.

Please don't shut me out completely.

Anyway, it's great to see that you are conferring with the regulars on our Japanese and Japanese Airline forums. It isn't something that always happens (I'm sure mjm knows what I'm referring to)

It's a no go for dedehans and dedehans+1. Event conflicts during that time. Drats!

Prospero my dear friend, I am delighted you are attending. I know a very quiet little place in Roppongi which will be perfect for 2 distinguished gentlemen like us. Very low key. Very sheik. No bling. I promise...

Brace yourself Effie...

Is everyone travelling on redemption bookings?!

Whilst pricing my flights today I found an interesting price anomaly (Of which was discussed before in various other threads).

LHR - HND - LHR is around £800

AMS - LCY // LHR - HND - LHR // LCY - AMS + Repositioning cost out of LCY or LHR to AMS is around £450!

All with BA and in whY

Not me. I'll most probably be there for a business event I attend regularly and that had happened during the two last weeks of March for the last seven years. I hope they'll keep the date for 2013 so I can travel for work and move the return flight after the Easter week-end. I'd be foolish to use an award flight
