PSA: For Zipair, ALWAYS change currency to YEN, otherwise your zipair points will be useless. Also, checked baggage fees after increasing by +70% after March regardless of when you booked your flight. not very happy about 2 issues that surprised me. i booked a flight YVRNRT for flying in Aug 2025 back in December.

What burns even more, is that all my racked up zipair points can ONLY be used if the bookin…
