Plan around local peaks in Sapporo
Weather and season: Heavy snow (December to February) can delay flights. We build buffer time into routings and switch to alternative airports when needed.
Holidays: In Japan, Golden Week (late April to early May), Obon (mid-August) and New Year (29 December to 3 January) can slow down customs, airlines and trucking. Book early and send documents in advance around these dates.
