'China Airlines: Auckland Return to Tokyo $1060, Osaka $1101 (2x 23kg Bags) (Feb-Jun) Incl Cherry Blossom Season!'

One of the best airlines to fly out of NZ on, this is NOT Air China (mainland Chinese airline) but China Airlines - Taiwan based.

As a result, all flights connect in Taipei.

Also consider: China Southern: Auckland to Tokyo/Osaka from $1103/ $1109 Rtn, Christchurch to Tokyo/Osaka from $1098/ $1175 Rtn [Oct-Mar]

The cherry blossom or sakura is never perfectly predictable, but some early predictions are below:
