i’d have to say that delta is the best! flat seats in business class making it very comfortable. almost too comfortable at times.
japan getting invaded by chinese tourists!!! if you plan to travel to japan, plan ahead. don’t think you can just go through immigrations in 5 minutes anymore. recently, it’s been getting pretty unpredictable. sometimes the wait is 15 minutes, and sometimes the wait is 2 hours. here is what i would do if i were you. request a seat in the front part of the airplane. and when you get off, run to immigrations. no bathroom break or no taking your time. if there is no line, you are lucky. and if 5 airplanes from china land before you, you’re unlucky. expect to wait for 2 hours. i’ve done it a couple of times this year.
so on this trip, i was lucky. i got through immigrations pretty fast. then when i went to get a train, i was in for a big surprise. i couldn’t believe how long the line was to buy a ticket!!! took forever! and here is the trick for waiting in line with a huge crowd of chinese tourists. don’t turn around even for a second or else you will see more people in front of you then you did before you turned around. it’s just a culture difference that you have to get use to these days. luckily i’m a surfer that knows how to drop in so if somebody takes my spot, i’ll get it right back. haha.
