Is there a limit for the dimensions of the 30kg check in baggage? Because on zipair's website it says that the check in baggage should be 21x15 inches, which is the size of a 20kg suitcase more or less (which doesnt make sense), and I read on reddit that there's no limit for the dimensions as long as it doesn't exceed the 30kg mark, very confusing

They didn’t check the dimension. I used my biggest luggage for the 30kg check in.

Going back from Japan to US they are very strict when it comes to weight limit of the luggage, this happens to me last year they weighed in all the stuff I am carrying, backpack ended up paying for extra fee, they knew you going to go crazy shopping from Japan, good thing most of the items ate tax free, so paying extra is okay but you’re right the hassle of 😠 talking to the front desk is crazy but hey Zipair still cheaper.

@rodneyinefuku38103 ай бұрын
What I do (because I’m cheap): I always carry an empty plastic soft drink bottle in my backpack. If on a long flight, I bring a larger empty plastic bottle (bring a small cup in case filling the plastic water bottle is impossible at the water fountain). After going thru security, I fill the water bottle with water before boarding. You can stick the water bottle in the pocket behind the seat in front of you during the flight. If You're still thirsty after drinking all your water, then buy a bottle. I also bring a small empty thermos (keep hot water hot for 5+ hours… can buy at Don Quijote) in my backpack... and when in the terminal, buy coffee from a terminal eatery like Starbucks then fill the thermos before boarding. I also bring a nice cushiony $8 neck pillow which I bought at Ross and sit on it during the flight to keep my butt from getting sore. Because many airlines today don’t provide an entertainment monitor on the seat in front of you, for my in-flight entertainment, I just bring a soft-covered book to read and a journal notebook to write in. When flying to the mainland, we bring over a dozen sushi in a plastic container. and/or a plastic container of Spam Musubi, But I think worth buying the meals on ZipAir flight to Narita… I heard ZipAir meals are pretty good. Make sure you buy your meals when you make your reservations… to preclude not getting one on the flight cause they ran out. A plastic zip-lock bag of cookies (Oreos) will satisfr your munchy cravings during the flight.. I always bring a warm jacket to use as my blanket. Me, no need buy blanket. Also, I wear a long sleeve t-shirt on the flight... And long athletic socks to keep the feet warm. Bring a portable digital scale to measure the weight of your luggage when flying back. Precludes over-weight-limit luggage. We also bring a couple of plastic hangers and a plastic bag of clothes pins so we can wash our undies and t-shirts during showers and hang up. Hopefully clothes will dry overnite. Don't wash undies and t-shirts the night before you check out of your hotel as you want a day for all to dry. Happy travels!

Can you help me with my hypothetical? So if I order foreign currency with my Bank (BOFA) before leaving to Japan, they don't charge me anything but offers a rate of 148 yen to USD. If I went to Japan, pulled cash out of ATM, BOFA will charge me a 3% flat rate of the amount I pull out, and a $5 foreign ATM fee. My question is, what rate would the ATM give me IN Japan? Will it be the same Rate as what my bank would offer at home? Or would it be the rate of the VISA network like you mentioned when selecting the Yen button at the end?

Thank you so much for the video. It was really helpful. I still have some questions. Please help me. My hotel is on Yamanote Line which is a JR. Let’s simplify this. I’ll have to go to Shinjuku station a lot so I’ll start my ride with Yamanote Line. Let’s say I want to get off at Shinjuku station. First I go to a person to pay the difference? Is there a machine to do this price adjustment in the beginning? Is there a long line to talk to a person? Would the price be cheaper to do Yamanote line with Suica than with the 72 hr pass? I saw your answer. To go to a place that start with a JR, go to an agent and she’ll calculate for me. Then insert that ticket when enter the JR. Then I use that ticket to exit?

Ya basically since you would start the ride with a JR line you can either buy the ticket at the machine from the JR line to Tokyo metro line or have the staff to calculate for you. No there’s no line coz the local just beeps right through. If you take more than 2 Tokyo metro rides a day, it’s worth it. If you take only one Tokyo metro ride a day then it’s not worth it. That said in Tokyo, I easily took like 4 to 6 train rides a day with a Tokyo metro pass.
