anyways i'm happy to fly on the fare paid and get First class lounge at NRT... haven't been to NRT F-lounge before... it's not a trip i wanna do, but the cost of upselling my V fare to "E" or "M" fare (>1week) is more than buying new sale fare to Narita... funny days and games...
The weekend does change things a bit. Japan has no Xmas related days off, though the 23rd is the emperor's birthday and a public holiday. It is probably a time for a lull in the elite numbers though. If you get close to the New Year's break, you will see a lot of leisure J traffic though.
