Anyone knows how to return the free JGC cell phone rental if you fly out of HND Can I just return it to a DOCOMO retail store in the city?
Don't know but great news about HND. Let me know when i can book my flights!

I think JL might be willing to let us visit the hangars if we do this as a full-fledged FT meet, great PR for them with a bunch of JAL loyalists flying to HND to show support for the airline. Would love to fly here if schedule permits.

I would love to do that (and that's what I was hoping for) but then we need to know who to contact. Fumitani can pretend to be a JAL loyalists for a day

That can do. I can say I JAL this and that for the day.

If you find me a person and number to contact i'll give them a call and arrange. If necessary

Let's see if JAL or ANA comes through... I have award bookings for both on the same route on the same day. F and C should add to the USA

Nevermind...my JL735 waitlist "magically" cleared immediately after I move every flight a day early But then now the ITM-CTS flight is full

I want to do this sooner than later It will be great if we can pull this off in mid-June but depends on how the call went...it might never happen

It might not be as easy as you think to book seats on these flights now, esp after JAL downsize JL735/736 to a 763

Hi, there, folks. I've been away for a while. I may be interested in joining the party, but can't promise anything at this point... Sounds like fun, though. It may not be the most cost-effective way to get my elite-qualifying miles, though.

You can do this as a stopover of your international ticket

Good point. I'm not sure yet when (if?) my summer trip is gonna be, though. I think I have to wait 'til July. We'll see what happens...
