Finding where you parked your car is useful…..but potentially frustrating when it’s in a multi-storey car park

Slightly off topic, but there seems to be a WH Smiths in every airport. These seem “stand alone” shops as the company doesn’t have local airside branches. It must be a logistical nightmare flying out books magazines and detritus from the UK.

JAL appear to have opened up F award availability on JL 52 SYD-HND today. Seats available on most days till March 30th.
