And what’s a trip to Tokyo without a ride on the Yamanote Line



Sadly I caught something the Japanese weren’t the most efficient, broken turnstile


Jan 4, 2012 – Wednesday
CX 451 NRT-TPE 3:30pm-6:35pm (333/J)
CX 451 TPE-HKG 7:45pm-9:35pm (333/J)

And catching Friendlyskies at the Grand Hyatt next morning, went up to the Tokyo Metropolitan Building for some fantastic and free views of the city.





After the mini excursion in the morning, said farewell to FriendlySkies and Mr. Victor , got my Dad at the Hyatt just a shy prior to 10:45am.
I did pay a closer study to the Skyliner train time so the connection wait would be shorter.
Sadly I connected so well that I got to Narita at 12:30pm before the CX counters were open for the afternoon.

Luckily the wait was only 10 mins and my parents had an even greater surprise awaiting them, apparently no one was flying on CX 521 on a 744 today so they have the entire F cabin to themselves, lucky parents.
The check-in agent also advised us where the CX lounges are but I told them we’ll be heading to the JL F lounge today

Immigration had no line and as usual, security was calm and a good smooth pace for the traveler. No yelling like Canada or the United States.
