American Airlines to deploy Airbus A321XLR on first international route: JFK–Edinburgh from March 8, 2026
JR Central (Central Japan Railway Company) will sell the “JR Central Winter Unlimited Ride Pass,” which allows unlimited hop-on/hop-off on all local and rapid trains across JR Central’s conventional (non-Shinkansen) line network for two consecutive days.
The pass can only be purchased if you have reserved a Tokaido Shinkansen trip via the “EX Service” whose arrival station is between Atami and Maibara. The price is 3,900 yen for adults and 1,900 yen for children. Reserved seats and Home Liner services can be used if you purchase the required reserved-seat tickets or boarding tickets separately. However, limited express and express trains cannot be used even if you have the surcharge ticket.
The validity period is from December 13 to January 13, 2026. The sales period is from November 19 to January 12, 2026. After logging in to the EX Service, you can purchase it by accessing JR West’s online reservation service “e5489” from “EX Tabisaki Reservation.” Before starting use, you must pick up the ticket at a JR Central station ticket office (kippu-uriba) or at a reserved-seat ticket machine that displays the 5489 service.
