Cheaper airfare to Japan and in business class we’re on a mission to help you travel the world let’s go let’s head to Japan and participate in the traditional custom of Hanami which means gathering together to enjoy the transient beauty of flowers the arrival of the Sakura the
Cherry blossoms is a really big deal here there are numerous festivals held in their honor and even daily Bloom reports on the news Hanami is a social event as soon as the flowers start to open family and friends gather to eat drink and be merry this emergence from
The winter season turns public parks and Gardens into outdoor celebrations there are so many places you can go to celebrate Hanami in Japan Sakura blooms are found in over 1,000 places from Southern Okinawa to Northern Hokkaido easy to get to locations include him castle and of course Osaka Kyoto and
Tokyo the most beautiful location is said to be the Yoshino kumano National Park in the Nara prefecture for viewing Peak blooms plan to be there between the end of March through early April check the blossom forecast from the Japan meteorological Agency for more information on timing get there by flying to Tokyo
Airports nrt and H&D or Osaka airport code ITN there are many flights to various cities in Japan from airports worldwide US citizens do not need a visa for short-term visits to Japan as long as you have a valid passport and a return ticket for finding the best airfare to
Japan let’s look at the four variables you can play with where you go when you go what you are willing to pay and how you’ll get there for experiencing the secur in Japan where we go is set but we’ll shop for airfares to all of Japan as several cities will work
For this trip Tokyo Osaka Etc when you go is also set peak season for Sakura is from end of March through early April your budget or what you are willing to pay is a personal decision but we also know this is a popular time to travel to Japan and prices will reflect
That meaning if you want to go to Japan Jaan for the very cheapest price you’ll have to choose another time of year and miss the Sakura experience so for this trip let’s focus on how we’ll go and then find the best available price we recommend following these Steps step one check airfares Airlines
And routings from your home Airport from Denver we found economy class airfare to Japan that ranges from $1,436 to2 500 and more this information sets the Baseline in our search step two now check airfares Airlines and routings from Gateway City airports for travel to Japan big Gateway
Cities are on the west coast Los Angeles San Francisco Seattle and Vancouver these are cities with non-stop flights from several different airlines you can also look Central and East like Chicago Dallas New York at 7 ET if you want to do an exhaustive search we prefer the West Coast cities
As they are closer to our home airport and they have shorter flight times to Asia we recommend the website flight connections.com to show all cities with non-stop flight options are the prices on flights from these City pairs lower if so keep going we found a roundtrip economy class
Flight from Los Angeles to Japan on the same dates for $983,000 trip this option is $453 less than the price from Denver step three check airfares on connecting flight options from your home airport to the Gateway city is there a flight option that gets you to the Gateway City on time to
Connect to your international flight what’s the price is the price of Step 2 plus step three lower than the price of what you found in Step One ensure that you have enough time to make your flight connection as especially if you are changing Airlines or checking bags remember it’s always better to have
Too much time and not need it than the reverse we’ve been there and it sucks we found a round trip flight from Denver to Los Angeles that allows time to connect for $135 round trip so we can save over $300 by booking two tickets Denver to Los Angeles and Los Angeles to
Tokyo this trick works even better better when booking cheaper business class flights I never flown business class in our research we found airfare from Denver to Tokyo in business class for $746 round trip but you can fly from San Francisco to Tokyo in business class for $437 round trip or for $3,400
Less then book a flight from Denver to San Francisco in either economy class or first class and you’ll save, thousands of dollars travel websites don’t surface all these mixed class and mixed airline ticket options but they are easy to find on your own and the savings are worth
It if you don’t live in an international Gateway City you can save tons of money this way and travel business class for far less even if you book your two tickets on the same airline these savings can allow you to travel in Comfort or even fund the rest of your
Trip or maybe you value the convenience of booking the higher price maybe you value a certain Airline or airline alliance you can work out your own trade-offs from this point forward and book your best trip in our case we’ll prioritize a Star Alliance Airline unless another options
Price is insanely better so what are you waiting for start making your plan to celebrate the cherry blossoms in Japan it’s a once a year unique and breathtaking experience that celebrates the beauty of nature apply the two ticket trick to find your best airfare to Japan or to any International
Location that’s caught your eye determine what the best Gateway airports are for where you live and then pay attention to the differences in pricing you just might save thousands of dollars you can use for the rest of your trip or better yet to fund even more travel to further Inspire your wander
