I see your concern and many people feel that way about getting bumped in a foreign country. I don't know what your rank seniority being retired military is therefore, I cannot base what your chances of making it to Okinawa via Hawaii would be through military channels. Do you have AIRLINE non rev priveledges? If you have both, that's an ace in the hole definately. I think your chances of being bumped in NRT are slim. Okinawa is in JAPAN and I am sure there are various flights to Okinawa out of NRT. I would just call JAL or ANA and ask how their flights look for a non rev on that particular day. But if you have retired priveledges, and you have the time, Hawaii sounds good especially if you can utilize the base BAQ quarters for; what is it now? 10 bucks per night? You can probably connect via GUAM if you have to via ANDERSON AFB, utilize BAQ, BOQ. (That's a nice terminal.) You got it made.

Thanks for the advice. What are the chances of getting bumped at NRT? My daughter in law suggested I fly to Hawaii and try to Space A from there (we are retired military). I guess my greatest concern is getting bumped in a foreign country and having trouble reaching Kadena. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
