For some reason on American Airlines regular website Hong Kong isn’t showing up on the where we fly map from either Dallas or LA so I would’ve had no idea if you guys hadn’t pointed it out to me! Well currently I am sitting in a diner in Hong Kong, one of my friends is trying to get home on D3 tonight and the gate agent told her that immigration might ask her to buy a ticket home if she comes in and out. Do you guys know if this is a thing? My ex got stuck in Hong Kong on a D3 for one night and left and came back to the airport and didn’t experience any issues. Also the flight loads are so full we’re looking at potential he being stuck here a few more days.
    We warned you...

    Yeah I already knew it had potential to be like this, and I did warn my friends but they wanted to go through with it anyway since we had already purchased airfare on Hong Kong express from Tokyo to HK. They had never been in this situation before so swallowing the airfare on that wasn’t appealing to them. Usually I’ve been able to get myself out on a D1 also so I wasn’t imagining how bad it could get either. I’m not really crying about it over here, I know I’ll be fine in the end. I mostly came to update my post because my friend was freaked out about immigration escorting her back through customs. That probably also kind of drove her to buy the airfare, but she also takes her work really seriously and while they probably would’ve given her leeway on it and she didn’t even want to ask. Now it’s just me and my other D at three and we’re going to make moves in the next two days and maybe fly back to Narita. Those flights are overbooked to but there’s a lot less non-revs an a lot more options in on Monday there’s a lot of seats open to Las Vegas.

    Everything is a learning experience in this definitely is another one!
