JR Trains:
The standard rule for ticket change, cancellation, and refund is that all those has to be done before the departure time of the train where ticket has been reserved. However, JR ticket offices are currently experiencing long line of people trying to cancel or change there tickets.
JR has announced that for trains tickets affected by typhoon no. 19 cancellation (refund) and change can be made even after the departure time of the train has passed.
NRT:
Airport authority is in talk with airlines so that Saturday, 12th NRT will not accept any arriving flights. Last month during Typhoon no. 15 about 170,000 passengers were stuck at NRT because post typhoon weather condition allowed normal takeoff/landing at the airport but all public transport remained shut down to close for a day. Passengers had not way to get out of NRT. NRT airport authority is trying to avoid the same situation as last month.

If you have not stocked food for Saturday and Sunday morning by now then....

It's starting to really pour now down here in Kanagawa. Wind's picking up as well. So far I've been biding the time with coffee and lots of books. I don't envy anyone trying to deal with the airports today or tomorrow morning.

This one is bouncing around a bit more in the wind. Monorail and some trains are running.

I have a flight on AC Monday evening, from HND to Toronto (ticketed as a codeshare on ANA). The storm should be well on its way out by then, but should I be worried about the cascading effects from cancellations and delays over the weekend? I worry that the inbound aircraft may not make it/there may be shortages of landing or takeoff slots/there will be damage at HND.
Are my odds of getting out on time Monday evening any good? And is there anything that I can do to protect myself? (I have status on AC but not NH)
