My son is 11 and I need to order his pass now to ensure it arrives in time for our trip to Japan. He will turn 12 when we arrive in Japan and when we are likely to activate the pass.
Am I right in thinking as he is now 11 I can purchase a child pass for him, and this will be valid even once he turns 12?
Hi there,
Yes, the time of purchase / issue date is leading in this case.
Kind regards,
Daniel
