Clear Customs in Oslo -- en route to Bergen??? And Hurtigruten Cruise???
#21
OMG! Gardyloo & lofn, I LOVE this idea. I have not been to Tokyo. So I would stay two nights and spend an entire day doing a bus tour to get an overview.
In the morning, I'll compare flying west to the best option through LAX that I had been looking at. I have a feeling your suggestion is going to win. I'm excited!!! I never dreamed I would have an easy, almost-free way to get a taste of Tokyo.
Thank you SOOO much!!!

These seem to be my best options:
LIHUE TO BERGEN VIA TOKYO
Monday 10/22
LIH to NRT -- $463
Depart LIH 9:43 am
(1:10 layover in HNL)
arrive Tokyo 3:20pm TUESDAY 10/23
(other options leave an hour earlier or later for basically same price)
Overnight two nights at Narita airport hotel (approx. $80)
Thurs.10/25 35k AA FF miles & $35 (75k for business class)
Depart Tokyo 9:50 am
Arrive Helsinki 1:50 pm
(90-minute layover)
depart Helsinki 3:20 pm
arrive Bergen 4:15pm Thursday (total travel: 13:25)
OR
Do the same thing a day earlier (leaving LIH Sunday) adds $37 pp to add a night in Bergen for wiggle room before the cruise.
(FYI, we've been to Bergen twice and loved it. But don't need to sightsee there again.)

At the moment it looks like a no-brainer: no overnight flights; no long layovers -- and almost free taste of Tokyo!!! YEA!
Again, thanks SO much.
