With some of the most competitive flight deals around, bagging a bargain is easy with Orbitz. The following tips and hints will help you score cheap flights to Kyoto Prefecture — and leave you with more cash to play with:

If you're flexible with your plans, click on the 'Show flexible dates' option. It'll show the flight deals for the days around your selected departure. Ticket prices often vary depending on what day it is.
To fine tune your results, hit 'Show options.' You can search based on seating class, airlines, nonstop flights and refundable flights. You can also select whether you want to fly in the morning, afternoon or evening under 'Sort & Filter' to the left.
