Slightly off topic, but I am wondering if you really can buy a NW ticket to SE Asia that allows a stopover in Japan. I was of the understanding that stopovers at Narita were NOT allowed on NW paid tickets to SIN, BKK, etc.
Can you suggest a consolidator that would be able to book such a ticket ?
Thanks in advance.
