And then when I checked in I was told, "Oh, you didn't have to do all that. We pick up crewmembers at the terminal"

Bohol, Cebu, or my favorite, Borocay. Planning a trip to Bohol now. Cheap, nice people, beautiful beaches, good snorkling.
NRT to MNL, spend the night, get up in the morning and take PIA-Express or Cebu-Pac to the closest island airport. Coming back you can go through NGO if NRT not looking so good. Inter-Island, pack light. The local airlies have gone all "Ryan Air" and charge nearly nothing for your ticket (think my last ticket was $8 with a $95 bag fee, it's nonsensical, but that's the PI's, the land of not quite right, but fun)
Some of our customers have VISA issues because we hub in NRT. It usually knocks few passengers off the airplane, making for better Non Rev opportunities than what it looks like.

As far as accommodations, we rented a 1 bedroom apartment their on the island complete with kitchen and all for about $60 a night (even included a hot cooked to order breakfast every morning). Also rented a car as there are some great out of the way hikes and swims on the less populated areas of the island. Went with Sam's tours as well, good outfit! I will definitely go back again.

I was given a room at the JFK Hampton and took the hour-long bus-to-Federal Circle-to-hotel shuttle this week during the snowstorm. It was a cross between "Slumdog Millionaire," and "Frozen."
And then when I checked in I was told, "Oh, you didn't have to do all that. We pick up crewmembers at the terminal"

My wife and i went to Palau on DAL's second flight in there and it is still the best snorkeling / diving I have seen. Very large amount of sea life and sunken world war 2 relics and such. Also don't miss jellyfish lake. Millions of jellyfish that can't sting anymore caught in saltwater lake and you swim through them. Google it. One of the craziest places.

Agree with XtremeF150 on Palau. The hike into the waterfalls featured on Survivor is also worth it, if you rent a car. Sam's is great, have a brew and fish after snorkeling. The Palau DL hotel is also fine.
