Then I will plan for year 2024 April to visit Hokkaido - meanwhile save up some money every month to upgrade to Singapore Airlines flight tickets and then book with CTC travel for their eastern hokkaido tour with coach and helicopter @GaoProsper thank you

SIA dont fly directly to Sapporo except for their Scoot budget airline which although publicised as direct flight, it actually stop over at Taiwan which you need to get off the plane and go through the immigration again (without the luggage) and re-enter the same plane.

In my opinion If you fly SIA, eventually you still need to change to domestic flight via ANA (Star Alliance). Might as well save the money to take ANA international premium economy class and economy for domestic (only like 1.5 hr flight).

How is ANA international flight from Singapore? Their premium economy class is okay? Comparable to Singapore International Airlines?

Scoot must go through immigration at Taiwan? 1hr layover nia, enough time?

Its weird that flight from SG to Sapporo via SIA is way more ex than Scoot with very similar timings and luggage.

international transfer no need to worry.
iirc just exit & transfer back to (same) plane

international to local most likely need to go through immigration

Did you actually check the price for Scoot? Once the luggage and extras are added on, the price isn't that far off.

Currently in Sapporo.

Taking JAL from Singapore to Tokyo n then transit to Hokkaido.

Journey is about 13 hours due to some delay from Singapore to Tokyo flight.

Does this includes the airfare to Japan?

What’s the helicopter for? But if go FnE for 8 days may not need $4k per person right?

How long did you take to clear immigration in Tokyo ?

Not so bad, about 20 mins.

Luckily the queue wasn't that long.

need to ask @GaoProsper for the helicopter ride, I’m only going in April 2024

usually full service airfare + 4 stars accommodations + all 3 meals + car rental and tolls is around $4k to $5k per person but I calculated with my spouse so for me per trip is around $8k to below $10k for usually a 10 to 14 days trip. (we prefer 2 week’s minimum).

Was there last year it's just a short like few minutes flight over the lake, I did not go for the ride...think it cost like 30-50sgd each depending on how many pax you can get together - the pilot flew so many flights per day his take off and esp the landings like from very fast approach then flare out to jam brake I think I'll puke
Wait got a video somewhere...
