I would strongly recommend Singapore airlines as their customer service has always been amazing for us going from Australia to Japan

Orchid Festival at Kew Gardens
My Support Worker and I visited the Orchid Festival at Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew on Friday, and it was magnificent. The displays inside the Princess of Wales Conservatory were stunning, with beautiful orchids, detailed jungle scenes, and a tribute to the Year of the Horse. They of course, had pandas, sea monkeys

They’re all great, but the monkeys are my favourite 🐒

I have such fond memories of this place! I used to go every year when I lived nearby. I was not yet using a wheelchair then, but even with my cane there were plenty of places to sit and admire the beautiful displays. Thanks for the wonderful photos!

Please share your experience with Zip Air. I am a c5 quad, looking at California to Tokyo.

It would really have to be a big difference in cost to make it worthwhile, once you add on luggage/carry on fees, meals and possibly hotel (depending on departure time). We added it up and didn’t seem worth it.

I have never heard of this airline, but I agree with @Marktweed … it hardly seems worth the trouble!
Japan's personal care assistance
Are there agencies that provide personal care assistants (PCAs) for disabled visitors who need help with ADLs? I’m vacillating between bringing someone or hiring someone while I’m there.

There aren’t many but you can try Joyful Journey: https://www.accessible-japan.com/travel-agents/specialty-service/joyful-journey/
It could be expensive for a whole trip, but maybe less than bringing someone with you since there wouldn’t be need for flights etc.

I found this company on the accessible Japan’s website and you can hire someone to assist you while you’re in Japan. https://www.accessible-japan.com/taxis/featured/welhire/ I sent them a request from the website and the replied quickly.
