Hi,
I booked a flight to Singapore with a dans deals tweet a few months ago with a layover in Narita Tokyo Japan.
Turns out Singapore has Zika so we can't go there, and cheapoair refuses to cancel the flight since its non refundable.
INSTEAD I plan on stopping in Tokyo and staying there. (already got another flight back from Tokyo.)
My question is:
Does anyone know if I can grab my luggage at Narita before it goes through to Singapore?
Does Tokyo have the same rule as in JFK where you have to pick up the bag before you go to your connection?
I called JAL and they said we have to ask at the airport when we check the bag, but I don't want to wait until the last minute and get messed over.
Any answers would be helpful.
Thank you
