Japan Flights Cancelled: Cambodia Tickets Available | Literature City

I was chatting with friends over the weekend and came up with a topic:

Is there any good way to do purchasing as a side job now?

Speaking of purchasing agents, the RMB has appreciated sharply recently, especially the exchange rate against the Japanese yen which is very attractive.

For example, the original Japanese version of the Yonex Aurora 1000 badminton racket costs 2,000+ on Duoduo. If you go to Japan and add Alipay or WeChat exchange rate discounts, you can get it for 1,500+.

As for big-name bags like LV, Chanel, and Hermès, the discounts are even more gratifying due to the exchange rate. If you go to Japan to buy the goods in two days, you can earn more than a month’s income of a delivery boy by selling them when you come back.

But the problem is: it’s not easy to buy air tickets to Japan now.

According to friends, many tourists who have ordered related travel products have received “dissuade” messages from airlines or travel companies.

I have seen these news before, but I always felt that the news was exaggerated. The refund would be a big loss, and it was just a deliberate attempt to scare Japan.

But after doing it myself, I didn’t expect it to be true.

When I opened Spring Airlines, which is commonly used by purchasing agents, the originally scheduled flights were now blank pages, basically without tickets.

What about other airlines? They all show that there are very few remaining tickets and very few flights.

According to flight manager data, 46 China-Japan routes have canceled all flights in the next two weeks. As of December 22, 2025, the number of cancellations of flights from mainland China to Japan in January 2026 has reached 2,195, with a flight cancellation rate of 40.4%.

As I write this, I am also a little confused. If these flights are cancelled, what will happen to the airlines’ losses? Will it affect the income and work of relevant personnel?

Of course, I am not advocating the resumption of flights at this time. I absolutely do not mean this.

I also don’t encourage everyone to travel or shop in Japan at the height of the storm. Even if you have already gone, I recommend posting less in Moments and social media.

Because traveling is the most important mood, if you post something at this time, you are likely to be looked down upon by your bosses, colleagues, and strangers you are already familiar with, causing discomfort in each other’s relationships.

If you don’t do well, you may even be scolded and “looked down upon”.

Besides, the small amount of money earned from purchasing agents is meaningless. Especially when I saw the recent exposure of museums throwing away paintings in various places, I realized that my imagination was limited by poverty and structure.

What’s the point of earning so much money for running errands? The most important thing is to improve your level of appreciation.

Moreover, it is not bright in the east but bright in the west. Although it is difficult to go to Japan now, there are still many flights to Cambodia and Goose at this time.

Especially in Cambodia, prices and flights are relatively friendly.

The distance is longer and the air tickets are cheaper and more expensive, but from the perspective of cost-effectiveness, it is really popular.

Now there are many guide posts on Xiaohongshu about visiting Big Goose, full of sincerity and full of stories.

I haven’t seen much of Cambodia, but considering that there are so many flights, it means there is a huge demand for travel?

Without further ado, I would like to give you a friendly reminder that the current conflict on the Cambodia-Thailand border is bad, artillery fire is flying, and many “parks” have been bombed. It is not safe to go there at this time.

But after several days of testing, it seems that social media cannot post these things, and operators’ anti-harassment calls cannot be discussed too much, so I won’t go into details here.

This year I have also traveled to 13 countries. One of my great travel experiences is:

When traveling abroad, try to choose places with transparent rule of law and safe transactions, and try to avoid countries and regions that are at war or have poor public security.

Although this point may be different from what some news media advocates, it is also what I say from the bottom of my heart. I hope it will be of some use to everyone.
