It reopens in full tomorrow.

According to the signs posted today, it should reopen the 20th, but I guess I might add one day extra before picking up the item I went for today.... Better safe than sorry.

The Blue Sky Flight Shop is officially open From the photos, look like it has less space for JAL products?

Went today, definitely less space for the airline goods and more space for general travel goods. They did have various trolleys, which could make a fun bar set up. But they would ruin my floors....

Glad to hear that I didn't miss much by not going out to HND. No Flight Shop and no 747 so my wife definitely spent more than me.

JAL needs to step up their game. The other airline is winning the branded merchandise fight.
