Thank you all for your helpful advice and congrats. As of today, Sunday, BabyTokyoKid is 1 month old!

The flight from NRT will arrive in SEA at 9:30am and will depart the following morning at 12:52. This is fine with us since we're concerned about the affects of cabin pressure on little BabyTokyoKid's ears. We'll use the time to relax, sleep, and regain our strength at a hotel by the airport. We won't be going into downtown Seattle (we've been there before. Great city!!).

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get NW to grant us a layover in SFO or NRT on the return flight from BOS unless we payed a huge amount of money in the way of $3,000 USD (I forgot the actual amount. It was so outrageous that it wasn't even an option). Unless there's something I might have overlooked and not asked the NW agent while on the telephone, we're just going to have to fly straight through to NGO in August.

We're in no particular rush to return to NGO, so a layover in SFO or NRT would be very nice indeed.
(In August, on our return itinerary, we'll be arriving NRT about 5pm and won't arrive in NGO until 8pm. This means, after long, long flights, we'll reach home around 9:30pm or 10pm) Any advice on how to get a layover in SFO (preferred) or NRT would be greatly appreciated!


Cheers!
