Done! Do we now have to play a 'what happens next?' video or is your username not a reference to one of the best online retailers?

So in October the QR business to HND/NRT is essentially a FT business!?

Hotels in Tokyo appear to be very expensive (maybe this is just my perception and are these just regular Tokyo rates) for my stay October 19-22, or is any specific event during this period? Anyway, any advice on hotels is welcome, would preferably not spend more than £ 100 per night for a decent hotel.

Hotels in TYO aren't cheap. Around the £200 mark you can find the usual suspects but hotels like the one above have much more charm.

If QR is sensible they will have just invested in TYO hotels

By the way, as I found out by researching something for the other topic, and since I'm not sure if everyone's up to speed: in July Qatar will replace the 787-8 in the DOH-HND route with an A350!
