I have several question re ANA & Japan:

I am arriving on UA from HKG at 2:30pm. I am planning to do a same day return to somewhere in Japan on ANA using the Airpass to pick up one of the carriers for the 55,555 promo.

My first idea is to do HND - F U K.

There's a flight leaving HND at 5:10pm & 6:05pm arriving at 6:55pm & 7:50pm respectively. On the return, there's a flight leaving at 7:45pm, 8:40pm & 9:30pm.

Couple of questions:

* Any recommendations on which flight I should take and is there a better destination? Any lounge or anything interesting at F U K airport?

* What's the best way to get from NRT to HND and how long does it take (on a weekday afternoon) and what's the cost? I won't have any lugguage.

* How do I get to downtown Tokyo [or the Tokyo Bay Hilton] from HND and what's the cost?

* I see that many of the ANA flights are sold as Y & M class but they use 747s, is it possible to get a C seat on the day of departure if I am a Star Gold?

* Lastly, what class is the Visit Japan airpass booked in? Just want to make sure it's good for Q miles on my Aeroplan account.

Thanks in advance for any advice. I greatly appreciate it!

Btw, any good hotel recommendation for a 1 night stay in Tokyo next week? If any FTer is in the Tokyo area next week, I'll love to get together with you guys!
