Great price! How much is a cap? I like a good car and see tha a RR is better than a S-Class (if you don`t drive it yourself I guess). But Í´m absolutely happy with a S-Class and would never pay this moon-prices for a few minutes in a RR. Sometimes I think the car is more important than the hotel itself Often my wife prefer a cab over a Limousine because they often use ugly car-parfume.

That is a significant discount- and if you were opting to take a taxi or a car service anyway is a good deal if it includes waiting time at NRT.

To put it in perspective the "limo bus" is a normal bus however with wifi and porter service for your bags and costs 3300 JPY per person and takes about 15 minutes longer than a car service as it briefly stops at the nearby IC(ANA) and GHT on the way to the RC.

Yes I was thinking of the limo bus but it was my first time there and I was afraid to get kidnapped at the airport or in a taxi (Tokyo is known to be a very unsafe and dangerous city) and the price was not that different than a taxi and I love RR and......
Am I good to find "excuses"

The RR also had wifi... ok it was not working on my phone but it was supposed to work.... even the RR are not reliable these days !!! life is terrible

Reminds me of a colleague who justified to himself the helicopter transfer to the PEN in HKG because of "SARS Risk" a few years back

That's a good one )
Wish they'll have some shared airport ride.
Seems that their shared helicopter ride around HK are doing well
Maybe a shared helicopter transfer will work well

Nicest helicopter ride in HK now for a reasonable price available regularly now is to head over to Macao on the scheduled services. While I don't care much for Macao, the helicopter service is fun and nice and not too expensive.

Back on topic- doesn't 45 Park Lane have a RR Courtesy Car?
