deanrobi 2 Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 This year I have decided to do my own bookings for the groups annual trip to Japan but I'm finding that trying to book internal flights (one world Yokso - Visit Japan Fare) and accommodation (Prince Hotel Group)I'm not able to book anything until three months out. We are travelling at the end of Jan 2010 but on every site I visit there is only accommodation/flights option up an until the End of Dec 2008. Is this the norm? and do I have to wait until next Sept/Oct before I can make my bookings. Any advice greatly appreciated. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Some hotels and places do indeed actually only take bookings 3 months in advance or some variation on that. May seem a bit nuts, but it is true. Link to post Share on other sites

ausi ski bum 1 Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Yes call Japan Airlines direct they will sell you the internal airfares now, you can not do the special fares online, I was organising February March flights today. Call them on 1300 525 287 The Hotels take a little more research but you can book now but they may not be able to confirm the price until later. Ignor the booking forms and email the hotel direct and discuss your needs. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Well.... in fact, at some hotels you cannot book now. I personally know of a fair few in my town and Yuzawa that have such policies, daft as they may seem. My guess is that it is not just a Yuzawa/Minamiuonuma thing. Link to post Share on other sites
hellyer 216 Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 You are right Muika, I found the same trying to book the Sutton Hotel in Ueno Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Its a Japan wide thing, drives me up the wall. Flights are the same, but interesting to know that I can call the airlines direct and book flights. Link to post Share on other sites
