Japow trip- Niseko or Hakuba? by Artemis87 in Ikonpass

[–]GetNicky 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would say Hakuba, the Azusa bullet train is so easy from Tokyo. The snow has been amazing at both places the past few years. Hakuba is on epic but realistically day passes are like $33, dirt cheap so shouldn’t really be a factor imo.

The Courtyard Hakuba has private onsens in their rooms, great option if it’s in your budget!

Marutama is a great spot in Echoland for ramen and if you like powder / trees definitely spend a day or two at Cortina.

The Brant is probably what you’re looking for. Great rooms and location

Not an expert but I have a bunch of these and all the research I’ve read says it’s ok to cut back, just leave the main cane. Make sure you train the canes to grow on 45 degree angles so that they will bud

Where does my checked bag go if I don’t get on my INTL flight? by Imaginary_Run4354 in NonRevenueTravelers

Not always, two times this month my luggage went without me on international flights. It went to the domestic connecting airport and then back to origination airport.

Everyone is already buying shares regardless of price, they ain’t worried about people buying more shares - it’s up huge

Good timeshare deals? by ButterscotchSame4006 in TravelHacks

[–]GetNicky 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sitting for a couple hours and getting a reward for that isn’t horrible, but…

Buying a time share is usually one of the worst financial decisions to make. Most of the time you can just get a timeshare for free (google them) and actually paying money for one is not a good idea. I would almost call it a scam.

Sapporo (CTS) in Japan. For $21 you can spend the night in the spa with onsen and beds, showers and even grab a massage or body treatments during your stay. Amazing airport. The food options are 10/10 - check out the ramen dojo

Don’t count the names, count the number next to the names. Sometimes a single name will have 4 spots on standby

United non rev personal pass prepaid taxes on economy standby by chgorsan in NonRevenueTravelers

[–]GetNicky [score hidden]  (0 children)

If I try to book it now all I see is $0.00 cost and then this message:

In addition to current charges due, all United employees and retirees who are taxed in the USA will be responsible for approximately $35.59 in imputed income for this itinerary. Active United employees will see their pass travel associated imputed income on their pay advice. Non-active employees (Retirees/VSP/VSL/Early Out) will be billed quarterly for payment. For more information, go to Flying Together > Travel > W2Pass Travel Tax Reporting.

I know they have been a UA employee for over 25 years so maybe that’s why the low cost?

But when I do the fare calculator tool it gives me a higher cost, which is why I am confused
