Are the Japanese on the move (travelling, commuting) more than people in other countries?
Everyone knows that Japan has the world's highest rates of rail travel. But Japan also has some of the world's busiest domestic airports, busiest domestic flights, and very high rates of car ownership - higher than most European countries. Whereas in other countries, high rates of rail travel translate to fewer cars and vice versa. The only logical conclusion to me is that the Japanese are on the move more than people in other countries. Do you agree with this conclusion? And what are the reasons for this?
Yes.
When I was lived in Japan, shoe repair shops were popular. People wore out the heels of their shoes by walking.
- Can an airline change your flight time more than 24 hours? I've heard that airlines can change your flight time up until departure. Can they change your flight more than a day before or ater your original flight was scheduled as this can be an inconvenience.
- Can I move between terminals at LAX? My brother has a United flight and I have a Delta in the domestic travel area. We're heading to the same location but want to have dinner together in the airport. Am I able to move between terminals?
- Why do some people who book Frontier wait till they get to the airport to pay for checkin luggage when it's more than when you pay online? Like you have a small fee online. If you wait till you're at the airport it's a bigger fee. Are these people irrational?
- Is it weird that I like being on airplanes MORE than the actual vacation? Being at airports, seeing people from different parts of the world together in one location, and the excitement of traveling is awesome. Going on airplanes is fun too because I'm high up in the air, about to go somewhere for vacation. But when I get to my destination, I feel less eager yet I don't know why. I just like being on airplanes. Sure, I like traveling around different countries and tasting different food, too, but being on airplanes is twice as fun for me.
