Hey Everyone.

Just wondering if you can spend the usual 17,500 FC miles for a CDC transfer on a Helicopter transfer in Toyko?

Website seems to suggest you've got a choice of one or the other.

Wow - didn't know you could do that!

The drive from Narita into Tokyo can be brutal. Helicopter? Now we're talking!

Might ask this on Monday.

For the CDC miles rewards, the VS website does only mention specific destinations:

4.2.5 Members exchanging miles for an Upper Class reward ticket or upgrade are not entitled to complimentary ground transfers. However, members may spend additional miles for a single journey in conjunction with the purchase of an Upper Class reward ticket in the UK, USA or South Africa either to or from the airport.


My guess then would be a no for a NRT heli-transfer as well as CDC's combined with Upper reward flights at any other VS destination other than those mentioned?
