Going Japan this Oct-Dec?

[anyhowsaysay]

Japan got this saliva quick test at their airports. can do 10k test per day.

Should open some form of leisure travel...but slow to move as always

Yes, leisure travel still some time away unfortunately but starting to open up for business travellers at least:

10k a day for all visitors so priority goes to business and returning residents.

Interestingly, other countries managed to travel in June including 10 Malaysians.

If this continues, the Olympics is still a big question mark.

Do they allow you to cancel multiple times? 2 months ago wanted to buy for Dec but they only allow up to a year from the purchase date. Quite restrictive in these times.

Should be fine, rebooking is allowed but i presume got date limit like end of 2021

Depending if the situation never improve then i presume the window for rebooking might be even longer

Impossible rah. I supposed to go Sakura 2020, cancelled and rebooked for Feb 2021, I think even that also more or less fugged riao. Maybe rebook for fall 2021. But I have few hundred k miles locked up in the Feb 2021 tix, dunno if cancel will need to tank the usd150 redeposit fee or not.

If we are getting the vaccines as planned by end-2021, it might be early to mid 2022 before we can travel. Also need to see how the vaccine reacts first with the first few hordes of tourists.

Earliest possible is autumn 2021. But even that is not 100%
