But it has to be booked over the phone. 40k is ridiculous.
Agreed. Absolutely ridiculous considering you can book one way economy flights in Japan easily for 10,800 yen or so (using flightpass or ANA experience Japan).
Hmm...let me think here. Tokyo to say Miyazaki and back for 40,000 AE or just pay $245 Canadian and be done with it (and earn 1000 miles with the revenue fare)
