Not only was there no problems with taking liquids onboard, coming home I was never asked for ID. I might have been able to do the same on the outbound but I offered our passport when checking in at Hamamatsucho Station.
As for additional carryons, they will not take them from you. They might come up to you at the gate and ask to gate check your rollaboard but they took no for an answer.
We paid the 5,000 Yen for upgrade on outbound (but it was not available on the return). This, I found, was useful when you check bags as they come off first. I would definitely do it again for the extra space, too.

Thanks! If they offer upgrades I think I'll go for it, but because of the snow festival, this route is really busy tomorrow.
Right now, Expert Flyer is showing F4 Y0 for my flight

I guess we'll find out if they can really board a 747 in 20 minutes!
Now I just have to decide how late I can get to the airport. I have a weekly meeting every Friday afternoon which I missed last week because I went to Hong Kong

When I mentioned I was going to Sapporo tomorrow, they suggested it "might be better" if I stayed for the meeting. Hopefully it will wrap up quickly!
