Hello my dear friend

Thank you for your message, I am very happy to hear from you

Sakie arrive to Yokohama Train station one hour before the train, after the train arrives in Tokyo Sakie
you need to take a bus from train station to Narita International airport. You must have the passport
and boarding pass on hand before the check in the flight to Los Angeles takes very long Taking into
account the time of arrival, I think that you should spend the night in an airport hotel. If you get up
early you should go shopping to the tax-free section at the Los Angeles international airport (It is at
Terminal 2).

To approach the flight to Bogota you must enter by terminal five, Therefore, you must take a shuttle
from Terminal 2 to Terminal 5, it´ll takes 15 minutes or, if you prefer walking but you´ll spend 35
minutes. I do not recommend you to walk because if you delay you may lose your flight.

I'm working in the afternoon. So, on September 23 you can’t go to El Dorado airport. Sakie that after
you get to Bogota, she has to go through the controls Of immigration There are taxi points at El Dorado
airport where she can ask for a safe taxi and ask the driver to take you to the city center.

With love Johana Garcia
