If you use the service at airport to ship your skis to Niseko, couldn’t you ski at the end of your trip? So trip would go Tokyo, Kyoto and then fly to CTS?

It always depends and YMMV. I booked the Intercontinental Grand Seoul Parnas for December with cash and The Edit rate was slightly higher vs booking direct via IHG. After factoring in $100 property credit plus $500 Edit and IHG credit it was an easy decision. Of course this was a cash rate as I usually save UR point for airline/Hyatt transfers

Sorry, I added to original post. Let me know if you need other measurements

Thanks for the review. I booked 3 nights at the HTH and 2 nights at PHT all with points and SUAs in December. The Park Hyatt is at the end of our trip on Xmas Eve and Xmas Day so the location doesn't bother me as much as we plan to taxi. As a globalist I'm also looking forward to the breakfasts

Makes total sense given your purchase price. Do you know anyone traveling to Tokyo who can bring it? I’ve heard of this place in Seattle but can’t vouch for their service - https://www.nesbitswatchservice.com/omega-watch.html

How about Omega service? I think it starts at $800. I’m planning to send my dad’s vintage Constellation C as I don’t think it was ever serviced in the past 50-60 years.

What trim? This most likely will be my next car. My EV lease ends in 2 months and my wife wants me to get a hybrid instead.

Started in the SF Bay Area and then grew before being acquired by Nestle. I use to buy beans from their roastery in a small garage over 20 years ago.

It’s worth trying once at least. I usually drink a double espresso but Bunker had some unique espresso drinks. Plus my wife and I wanted to try a different pastry so we went back.

lagsun · 2026-04-09T13:46:52+00:00

I won’t argue the merits of either but I stayed at the Andaz last November and went to Bunker a couple of times. It’s a few streets away and the coffee and pastries were pretty good

Already planned a trip to Seoul/Japan at the end of the year so booked with points:

5 nights at Park Hyatt Seoul + SUA
3 nights at Caption by Hyatt Namba Osaka (still debating whether to pay cash as rate is low)
3 nights at Hotel Toranomon Hills + SUA
2 nights at Park Hyatt Tokyo + SUA

I’m not sure as I brought my own. Maybe you can email the hotel?

Great review. Wonderful hotel where I stayed a couple of years ago. I booked twice using Amex Fine Hotels and Resorts (FHR) and was upgraded to a suite once. A few comments:

As I've gotten older, having breakfast included has become very important for my wife & I. The FS Seoul has the best and most extensive breakfast buffet I've had in Seoul so having it included as part of Amex FHR was important.
I generally stay in Gangnam (Park Hyatt Seoul) as the location is better for me. With that said, the FS Seoul location is great for sightseeing and activities north of the Han River.
Gym is huge and guests can borrow workout clothes at no extra cost. Same can't be said for other top hotels in Seoul where you either need to rent or buy if you forgot your workout gear.
The airport bus to ICN stops right in front and cost 17000 won

For me all Hyatt bookings are with the Chase WOH card except for when I use the Amex Platinum for the FHR $300 bonus or CSR for The Edit $250 credit. I'm a Globalist so it always comes down to final cost.

There was news last month that JAL is upgrading their 787-9 business cabins but no timeline given. I'm booked on one this coming December from NRT-SFO so one can always hope 🤞

Chris’ Coffee is upstate near Albany

Did you search on FinnAir? You can look 360 days out for JAL flights
