Zipair summer tickets released!
November 1, 2024

Zipair has finally started selling tickets to Tokyo for April 2025. Huzzah!

My Zipair flight to Tokyo, May 2024. Beautiful Vancouver, BC.

The cost has gone up significantly, but that’s no surprise. Ok, it’s a surprise if you don’t think about the possibility, but when you do – duh. So my round-trip I bought this past January was $670; round-trip to Vancouver, the Zipair hub I used, was $180. Then there were various fees, of course. All told, around $1,000 for all airfare and fees.

Right now, the roundtrip – SFO-Narita – is $840. That’s before fees. Round-trip to SFO is $210. Fees are probably going to be another $150. So at this point, an additional $170 for this trip.

But for an additional $2, I can get a seat that goes full-flat; for less than that, I can get a window or front area seat. Of course, this means purchasing asap and then hoping Zipair’s mobile app works as is required for these options. I could dither on this for some weeks, but I know I want to go.

I just need to decide and then make it happen. For why this is an issue for me, please review the attached 1,000-page pdf on my lifetime of anxieties. (Editor: There is no pdf. And 1,000 pages would only skim the surface.)
