Thought I’d start a thread on my 14 day JR pass trip. I started the train portion of the trip on Sunday March 10th. Just to be thorough the trip so far:
March 3rd: New Jersey Transit Gladstone branch with change of train at Summit, NJ and continuing into Penn Station NYC. Switch to the LIRR to Jamaica Station and finally the JFK AirTrain to JFK terminal 8. AA flight to ORD with an overnight at the airport
March 4th: Japan Airlines 777-300 to Haneda Airport in Tokyo. The reason for not taking a nonstop from JFK was I was extremely fortunate in finding a First Class award ticket on JAL using 80,000 AA miles.
March 5th: “Overnight” JAL flight (more accurately crossing of date line) arrives HND. Overnight at Haneda Airport.
March 6th: JAL domestic First Class on A350-900 to Okinawa (same 80k award ticket. I then spent 3 days of vacation before starting with the trains . Stayed at The Halekulani Okinawa.
March 9th: ANA 737-800 from Okinawa to Matsuyama Shikoku Island Japan.
Will continue to update… trains start 10th
But teaser:
