1) ok, will avoid connecting thru peking ($518 round trip from Dulles/IAD).
next cheapest is United @ $655, connect to Tokyo/NRT.
hm.. connecting flight is tight. 55min.
based on United domestic gimmick pricing, it'll probably cost more since I want to chose my seat and be allowed to use the overhead bin for my 21" luggage.
any sign up bonuses for the United credit card?
2) 3rd cheapest flight is ANA @ $779, which also connects in Tokyo/nrt.
3) so don't stay more than a week?
so with allowing 1 day each way for travel, only 9-10 days?
4) my friend said to get a hotel in District 1.
5) destination address is of little importance on e-Visa?
just pick the address of any hotel?
