That doesn't look right, our plan is 0730-1530 time frame.
Whole reservation platform is bizarre, not sure if I'm registered or not!

You can check the status (as well as everyone else who registered) under the link "reservation list" on the left side of the page. Not very private if you ask me, since they show everyone's full name.
As stated earlier, they must be working in local time and working through the backlog. I appear to be next.
So is everyone being booked on the afternoon trip? I am fine either way, but just want to ensure we are all on the same one and it doesn't affect other activities planned and taking into account those who need to catch a flight home later that day...

I just received a similar email.
Sorry for the confusion. I was assured that we would have enough space for 30 people when I spoke to them in early January. I am now arranging for another tour operator to take us. Please wait a few days while I get this sorted out.
For those that currently have made reservations and paid, please wait until I have an alternative.
Apologies once again!

Still trying to get this arranged... if I get the go ahead, would be interested in the DMZ tour and other activities as well. Hope to have an answer within a week.
Tentatively booked 4/16 on JL9 HND-GMP. Would look at leaving 4/18 in the evening however.
