The waiver says 1 time change.. I just made a date change to April..

If the waiver gets extended past April, am I allowed to make another change?

Then you might just want to cancel the march trip, and see if April becomes possible?

Hmm, perhaps I should try gaming the system too much but I've seen very cheap multi-city fares from NYC -> NRT, NRT-> PEK, PEK -> NRT -> NYC on ANA business for April. I personally don't mind going to PEK if things are looking okay, but would really prefer just taking the NYC -> NRT round trip (which is 3x the price). Do you think if the situation escalates and they cancel all flights to China that I would be able to convince them to keep those legs?

Is anyone reconsidering their plans to fly NH to Tokyo? I've got a purely optional, tourist family trip planned in 3 weeks.

I can't see any reason to cancel plans for going to Tokyo.

I've heard Tokyo is more peaceful than ever right now without the tour groups from China.

Just got back; Tokyo much less crowded and Kyoto is great with tourism down to 25% of normal levels. I wouldn't hesitate visiting Japan.

All changes have to be made by 2/29 but I don’t have to change by original departure, correct? Do I need to call or do something to prevent a no show or does it not matter?

We are in the same boat (though our trip is 5 weeks out). In a bit of a holding pattern right now (have award tickets via VS though which makes it a little easier to get out of the ticket if needed, just have to cancel by 24 hours before departure)
