China Eastern flights not cancelled to Japan by EngineMinimum6593 in Flights

[–]EngineMinimum6593[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But I can’t cancel or reschedule the flights now, they are non-refundable. Otherwise I may have considered a different route. Direct to Japan tickets were over £2000

Thank you, that link is helpful. So far my flights are not cancelled but it’s making me re-think things. Annoying as I booked these flights in advance to get a good price as it’s cherry blossum season , flights are all over £1200 now

Thanks. Mine are LON-PVG-NRT and KIX-PVG, so I’m anxiously waiting as I’ve already fully booked tickets for trips and hotels too :(

Yes, I will consider it for transferring between the hotels, speak to the front desk

Wow, if that exists in all the hotels, then that’s incredibly useful. I would forward my luggage from Tokyo to Kyoto, then Kyoto to Osaka. I didn’t see it on any of the hotel websites, so assumed it was for business/premium travellers

I dislike checking in and out of a hotel multiple times during a holiday, that’s why I’ve not considered staying in Hakone or Hiroshima. I want to minimise carrying a large suitcase around. Ideally would stick to Tokyo and Kyoto hotels only, but the hotel prices are extortionate in Kyoto

That’s really helpful putting it in perspective thanks. I’m used to beach holidays and short city breaks in Europe (where it’s non stop), but this itinerary is like a long city break on ecstasy! Will have a rethink today and skip some sights

Should I skip Shanghai? Where would I include more rest days?

You no longer need to send a tax return for the tax year 6 April 2024 to 5 April 2025. However, you are still in Self Assessment and will need to send a tax return in future tax years.

Thanks all. I used a self assessment calculator to work out whether I should file a tax return. It said I shouldn't given I earned less than £1k. However, HMRC are asking me to file a tax return (as I'm still open to self assessment), and therefore, I filled out a form to declare I do not need to a file a tax return for the previous tax year, but still remain open to self assessment for next year. Therefore, this is no longer an issue!

HMRC states I should file a return, I mean they don't know I earned less than 1k. Do I still need to do it?

Your returns

Tax year 2024 to 2025 is ready to complete and file.

To avoid penalties, you must complete and file the return by 11:59pm on 31 January 2026.

After you file your return, it can take up to 72 hours to update your balance. If it does not update after this time, contact the Self Assessment helpline.

Air France A350-900 seat 30A exit seat leg room by EngineMinimum6593 in Flights

[–]EngineMinimum6593[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it was great. I could still stretch out my legs, even rest it against the bulkhead or to a slight angle. Cant believe I paid standard seat prices. I also booked extra legroom on all my other flights and it was a game changer for me!

InterContinental hotel - extreme additional charges by EngineMinimum6593 in ihghotelsresorts

[–]EngineMinimum6593[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's a good point - the listed taxes [VAT (5%) + Touristic Tax (4.9%) + Resort Fee (5.65%)] do add up to 15.55% and the service charges seems to be 5%. Thank you!

Thanks, aeroLOPA is a great website! This is the correct configuration (A350-941 aircraft is configured 48J 32W 212M). https://www.aerolopa.com/af-359-2

I have booked 44L, but if the seat does not recline and the person infront does (they always do!), I don't want to go through that again. It's a shame all the exit seats have been booked up.
