It’s common to happen this way when booked via GDS. you still contact Amex for hassles

Still processing the refugees from latitude. I’d give it another 6 months or so

Hmm. Should I be taking my towball off? Didn’t know it was a thing? It’s never been used!

Exactly. This view is dying out toward comfort wear, and I am all in favour of that!

Sure, but at the end of the day you have to check in

This is pretty much completely incorrect for every Accor hotel. All other chains it may work fine but I have heard many stories of people being refused, or having to wait, etc at various Accor hotels in this situation. For Accor the best rule is the booking party must check in

And there’s a chrome extension that sorts this out for you, too. It loads the recipe straight, not the blab

So the close by lift base is yuzawa kogen. It’s a small resort and only linked to gala when the link is open, which isn’t always. Echigo is the main station and there’s a little around it and heaps of shuttles to other areas and trains to the local stations too. But for the specific day trip...

The heat death of our sun will occur before a fleet wide rollout

Depends on the country. You won’t get a car in Japan without one.

I think you can use epic at rusutsu and lotte. Hence both have increased crowds and lift prices massively. Good times

Yes and no. They often vpn home, and you have limited selection of local carrier. It’s not just the best carrier on the ground

That’s not a problem limited to eSim. Physical can have the same issue. The problem is the sim carrier and whether it’s local vs roaming.

Yep, yuzawa area. Shink to Gala direct, not echigoyuzawa station, and they are set up for day trippers. 80 min each way journey. Simple enough slopes for any level for a day.

For anyone who “didn’t get the offer”. It’s universal, or at least everyone with an AU address. You may need to update the app or log it out and back in, but you will have it eventually.

That’s cheap for Tokyo now. Hotels I stayed in regularly pre-covid for 400-600AUD a night are now somehow asking 2000. And the dollar has strengthened, not weakened, so it’s not an exchange rate issue. Insanity, considering no renovations etc to justify it (shangrila and Conrad are 2 examples).

All cards allow you to withdraw local currency. The atms wouldn’t be stocked with anything else! What mac bank offer, similar to Bankwest and a few others, is no foreign exchange fee and no foreign atm fee.

NIB will cover stopovers for 72 hours without being listed!

I’ve heard the only way to recover property there (SYD) is go in person.

Hilton are great about not playing that BS game of “we upgraded you to a club room without club access”. I’ve never heard of any Hilton-wide brand hotel doing it.
