Advice: Booking Flights

[Jim05]

like China Southern will be seasonal from through summer

Depending on demand or how much the state government coughs up it could go to full time. I don’t know the full details of this particular agreement with Cathay but I’d suspect it’s been subsidised by the state purse and the airline may choose to increase services if the demand is there

Do you know what happened to JAL?
They were basically signed sealed and then I think Covid may have hit, but there's been no talk of it since.

I believe the government are still in chats with JAL and Air India to add both Tokyo and Delhi to our list. JAL has had some fleet issues and financial stress like most airlines and decided around Covid to trim back some routes and halt expansion until things picked up so I’d imagine they would still be weighing up the numbers. Maybe waiting for Mail to update the subsidy offer

Alright, pulled the trigger, bought family flights to Japan for December - super excited and a quite nervous - but decided I'm going to start doing more stuff I want to do, and put myself / family first for a change.

Huge thank you to Jim05 for his advice and insight.. only travel I do is for work and that's domestic so it's piss easy - and usually to the same places.

My family just got back form 3&1/2 weeks in Japan last week. Loved it and missing it already!
