Cheap airline tickets also flew to Vancouver in the age of international competition on the Internet, using overseas sites

I was looking for flights from Japan to Vancouver, Canada. Overseas backpackers often use "Skyscanner"Using the site called"Ebookers"Was displayed at its best. I was worried that Japanese would be okay to book from overseas sites to leave Japan, but I tried it because it would be different by about 20,000 yen.

Hello,Takuya Sudo @ circle around the world bicycle @ Charridermanis. I reached Canada.

When searching for a ticket from Cape Town in South Africa to Japan, I found the lowest price of Emirates Airlines using the Android application "On The Fly". This was because Emirates was included in the search for On The Fly, so I could buy the same ticket at the Emirates Airline office. This time Internet "Skyscanner"Is used. And it came out "Ebookers"It was a site called. It is Taiwanese China Airline, but the same ticket will not appear even if you search on the official site. So I paid my ticket with Ebookers card and booked it. I am worried about doing everything in English. Just Ebookers itselfWikipediaI also trusted it was also listed.


I added a condition and searched. The fuel surcharge is also included in the price.


You can also check the itinerary details.


I wanted to check it, I searched again with Ebookers under the same conditions as skyscanner.


China Air Line will come out.


Confirm details.


I made a reservation.


After a while, the reservation contents will be sent by e-mail. I printed out and checked in.


We confirmed the reservation a week before the flight. There was no problem on the day. I have been looking for it in a Japanese site until now, but cheap airline tickets may be an era of international competition. There are no vacant seats if you inquire details even though there are fees at a certain site in Japan. The price of air tickets cheaper than anywhere did not include fuel surcharges.

From Vancouver to 45,000 yen.


However, please pay the fuel surcharge as much as the air ticket.


The ticket for Fukuoka to Vancouver which I got at Ebookers this time was "7, 0123 yen" by using China Airline and the reservation fee of the Internet was 258 yen. The cheapest airline ticket on the Japanese site can be found only about 90,000 yen by using Korean Air. The difference is about 20,000 yen. I do not know what Japanese people buy air tickets from Japan overseas, but this time I went well with this.

Bicycles are packed in cardboards received at a discount store in the neighborhood.


North American flights are free baggage up to 23 kg x 2 pieces. Up to 30kg the excess charge is the same so we made the bicycle box heavy. It is conscientious if it is all over with an excess charge of 2500 yen.


I will have my stamp out of departure. If the passport does not change, this neighbor is the stamp of returning home.


In-flight meals from Fukuoka to Taipei.


And I reached Taiwan.


It was less than two hours flight from Fukuoka to Taipei. Flight to Vancouver of transit departs at midnight so it has about 10 hours to wait. I strolled inside the airport. Taiwan is supposed to be foreign but I do not feel any discomfort there. There was a model of Gundam, Hello Kitty existed, and I felt close to the distance with Japan.

Children's play equipment.


Do you draw water into a water bottle common with China?


There is C. C. Lemon for vending machines.


Sony's liquid crystal TV which also serves as advertisement.


Character of a net game.


There are some PCs and you can connect to the Internet for free. Free Wi-Fi is also flying.


Hello Kitty.


I ate fried rice at the food court.


I will transfer from Taipei to Vancouver by late night flight. We arrive at Vancouver airport at 19 o'clock with flight about 11 hours. The 24th that should have arrived late in Taipei is not over. Since it passed the date change line, there were 2 days on September 24, 2012. The time difference is when Japan is 0:00 a.m. on 1st January and Vancouver will be at 7am on 31st December. Immigration review was taken to a separate room and did not go smoothly. "I am doing chariderman" will not let you through. But still I explained my trip properly and entered Canada in the 81st country. It is the first American continent.

Open the tightly packed cardboard ... ...


I will assemble the bicycle.


The loads on the loading platform are messed up, but it is completed for the moment.


I will run on the Americas.


From Canada to the United States, Mexico and Central America. Since Panama and Colombia can not be crossed overland, we will enter South America by plane and aim at the southernmost Usuaia. The early person is the royal road route of the continental United States which started from Anchorage of Alaska in the summer. On re-leaving, I received a warm feeling from my family and friends.

From Shimonomiya who ran Zambia together, a sticker in the shape of "Zhou". It made my name and the meaning of the round around the world.


Put on the frame under the seat post, life is blown on the bicycle.


I will have a prayer on your monk 's friend.


Because it will be the third journey around the world, the traffic safety guardian from the third home home. I have a trip with all of them.


Only when doing this American continent longitudinal, the complete cycle of the bicycle drawing my own thought is completed. I will do it one by one as before. Because I am a boy, I want to fulfill my dream if possible. I will aim for the Rocky Mountains from Vancouver. Canada is huge.
