Jump to postAs much as I love having all the Korean LCC's coming to Guam, I've used Jeju Air quite frequently to go off island to Seoul and Busan for vacation, the fact of the matter is though the numbers are up overall, the Koreans spend less than the Japanese. About 1/3 less according to GVB. Money talks and...

Jump to postHmm. I wonder how many flights a day. If they have the same frequency as before, 4x/day, that's a lot of extra capacity. Maybe they'll lower their prices too.
Jump to postHowever for March we are being told things are still up in the air with regards to the 777 and “GUM-NRT: Pending updates.” Understood. What I was referencing was the downgauge of NRT-GUM to 3x 738 equipment effective in May which was part of this “downsizing” announcement. For the past few years NR...

I will be taking a flight from Guam to Manila on Philippine Airlines. It arrives into Terminal 2 around 9:20 am.

It's a tough time for Guam tourism as the market is suffering from these lingering North Korea threats, high costs and visa issues. The already weakening Japanese tourist market is already suffering, over 7000 cancellations. GVB is really banking on the Korean tourism market. Perhaps some of the oth...
Jump to postNot terribly a surprise considering what Delta has done to NRT. They could probably also use the North Korea threat as a reason for ending the flights. Unfortunately for people like me without Skymiles, almost $700 return from Guam to Tokyo was going to eliminate Delta from my thoughts of travel. Th...

In June, GUM-HKG-KUL-SYD-NAN on HK Express, AirAsia and Jetstar.
There is now a memorial obelisk in that area, Nimitz Hill. Today not only does Korean Air fly to Guam, but so do so many Korean LCC. It's quite unfortunate a tragedy like this is what had to happen to cause a major change. Who would've thought after that accident 20 years later Koreans would soon be...
Jump to postHas anyone here heard of or know anything about Nauru Airlines when they might start services to Guam? I haven't heard anything since April about it. On their website, the map does show Guam as a destination, but as of now, it is not showing up on the booking menu.
Jump to postHKG-NGO-GUM stopover flight is now bookable within HK Express official site online ticketing system I saw that and the times are horrendous, but of course not surprising when you add a stop way out the way like Nagoya. But again, the prices depending on what day you fly out look reasonable just as ...

http://m.scmp.com/news/hong-kong/econom ... ight-route
My guess would be that given their previous not-so-successful attempt at the direct HKG-GUM route and the fact that going from HKG to GUM via NGO almost doubles the time of the direct flight (4h HKG-NGO plus 1~2h transfer plus 3.5h NGO-GUM compared to 5h HKG-GUM), they see no point in promoting it ...
Jump to postAfter searching some blogposts and on twitter in Japanese, seems like the route can also attract some traffic from TYO as there are no LCC flying TYO-GUM and the price gap between this UO flight and legacies flying to TYO is more than round trip shinkansen plus a night of hotel Definitely Tokyo-Gua...

I have done SEA-YVR-ICN on Alaska and then on to Air Canada. 68 minutes should be enough time. Once you deplane you go to the transit area, signs point you where to go. There you show your previous and next boarding pass with passport. Go through screening. Head down and you're in the International ...
Jump to postFrom what I heard the HKG-GUM's yield is too low, by offering HKG-NGO-GUM, they can catch the business of both HKG-NGO; NGO-GUM and HKG-GUM business. I had also heard that about the low yields. I certainly agree that this should help offset the low yields, attract business on both sides of Nagoya a...
Jump to postI had lamented the fact that HK Express had suspended services from Guam to Hong Kong after only SIX MONTHS! No reason was ever given other than "operational costs." With that, for any of us wanting to go to Hong Kong were limited to United very expensive, LCC's through South Korea which a...
Jump to postLooks like HK express will make a comeback in October from Nagoya, Japan. Can't seem to buy a ticket through to HKG, yet. Maybe they're focused on just the Japanese for this flight.

So glad to see this afternoon HK Express make a come back to Guam after leaving us in June. The flights start late October. Hopefully adding a stop in Nagoya helps, though I will say, the few times I flew them when it was a GUM-HKG-GUM flight, it was pretty full. Some good promos, but as of now, can...
