Question 3

How to book the cheapest flight to Japan?

Accepted Answer

Landing cheap flights to Japan is as easy as booking with Orbitz. But if you'd love to make sure you're getting the best flight deals around, here are some tips to follow:

Depending on your departure point, click on the 'Nearby airports' function (located under the departure and arrival form fields). Oftentimes, alternative departure points offer cheaper airfares.
Also, click on the 'Show flexible dates' option to view the prices for days around your selected departure. You may be able to find cheaper flight deals if your itinerary is flexible.
Hit 'Show options' to narrow down your search results. You can choose your preferred airline and seating class here. Under 'Sort & Filter' to the left, you can even select whether you'd like to fly in the morning, afternoon or evening.
Reserve your airfare as soon as you know your travel dates. While you can get lucky on occasion, tickets rarely get cheaper as your departure date gets closer.
Combine your hotels, flights and car rentals into one convenient package deal. Save your dollars for things that really excite you, like exploring every corner of Japan.
Flying during the busy season can mean pricey airfares. Try to travel outside of popular periods, such as Easter, Thanksgiving and school breaks.

Question 4

Question 5

Accepted Answer

Based on Orbitz data from 2020, Monday is normally the best day to score cheap flights to Japan. Tuesday also has wallet-friendly fares, whereas Saturday has the highest ticket rates. Although leaving at the weekend may be easier to arrange, you'll have more money to play with if you set off early in the week.

Question 7

What is the cheapest month to fly to Japan?

Question 9

What do I need for the flight to Japan?

Accepted Answer

The trick to having a smooth-sailing flight is to come prepared. Here are some handy tips to take note of before you set off:

In all cases you'll need identification. How much? This depends on where you're jetting from. When booking, we suggest to use the same name, birth date and gender as listed on your government-issued ID.
Bring a good book or a laptop crammed with your favorite flicks — it'll help to while away time during your long journey to Japan. Or if you'd rather get some rest, an eye mask will block out those bright cabin lights.
Temperatures in the cabin can go from hot to cold quickly, so it's best to bring an extra layer. Consider compression socks too. They can help prevent blood clots and improve circulation in your legs.

Question 10

How do I get cheap first-class/business deals to Japan?

Accepted Answer

If you think a business or first-class fare is out of your price range, think again. Here are some top tips to help you nab a premium flight to Japan for a whole lot less:

Flexibility isn't just useful in the gym. Leave some room to move around your travel dates so you can snap up cheaper airfares when they pop up.
Many low-cost airlines offer quality business or premium-class seating without the hefty fees.
Bid for an upgrade. Some carriers hold online auctions that let you offer a price for a seat at the front of the plane. You can also try upgrading with points earned through a loyalty scheme.

Question 11

How to get around in Japan?

Accepted Answer

Japan is a place full of wonder, and an excellent way to discover it is from behind the steering wheel. Many visitors kick off their travels in this destination in Tokyo. If you're among them, you can reserve a rental car from Hertz near the city center. Crossing off top attractions like Tokyo Tower will be a breeze with your own ride. Don't forget to consider public transportation, however. JR Takanawa Gateway Station is a rail hub that can take you to many areas and sights around Tokyo.

What is the best time to go to Japan?
