Any one have any issues with getting reimbursed for their airfare out to NRT for the interview? Just a little leery to put out that kind of cash up front.
It is the contract agencies that pay for your tickets to Japan, so make sure you do as they say. There have been some smart arses who have tried to purchase tickets in Business etc and, surprisingly, have been disappointed when they've had only Economy money refunded. I have never heard on anyone having any trouble getting their airfares refunded when they've done as the agencies have instructed.
In my mind it would be easier if the agencies sorted out the tickets for you but then again, what do I know about bulk buying being cheaper and the wonders of eTickets
Let your ticket leeriness be the least of your concerns
