Japan Price War: Japan Airways from $865 Return / All Nippon Airways from $942 Return!
Beat That Flight
17 December 2024
Price drop/war! We had the low-cost Cebu to Japan from $476 Return, and the lovely China Southern from $665 Return, but now the two heavy-weights in quality to Japan - ANA and JAL have both droppped some amazing fares next year!
While most people focus on flights to Tokyo, it’s interesting to note that it’s often similar or even cheaper to fly to one of the other cities from Australia, and I’ve included examples to Tokyo, Fukuoka, Osaka, Sapporo and Okinawa.
I also have an article on the top 5 most popular hotels in Tokyo for under $120.
