Japan Airlines has reduced prices on flights to Tokyo.

Flying: Japan Airlines
Cheapest Dates: June - November/24 and February/25
Included: 2x 23kg bags, meals and entertainment
Japan Airlines is ranked #5 in the Skytrax World Airline Rankings
Layover: Melbourne and Sydney are direct. Perth is via KL on Malaysia Airlines, Brisbane via Singapore on Qantas and other cities are via Sydney or Melbourne. Only travel dates with short layovers are listed below.

Update: I have changed Perth to Tokyo from PER->SIN (QF) then SIN->TYO on JL to PER->KUL (MH) then KUL->TYO on JL as there is more availability & it is slightly cheaper.

ANA in feb sydney to tokyo 1.2k return, not bad
- ozbargainer88 on 30/04/2024 - 11:46
  
  ANA had some good deals. I've booked a trip in May-June flying Sydney to Tokyo > Tokyo to Osaka > Osaka to Tokyo > Tokyo to Sydney for like $1000. Adding domestic flights seemed to bring the total price down for some reason lol
  - prankster on 30/04/2024 - 13:06
    
    actually i was telling a friend about ANA flights as he wanted to book for next month, literally on the night i told him ANA was having 1k flights and exactly like your flight path (so you don't have to bullet train out from osaka to tokyo, just catch the plane within your plane booking)
    anyhow the next day the flights went up to 1.3k - crazy how quick the price can change just like that
    
    oh wait is your trip multi trip?
    - ozbargainer88 on 30/04/2024 - 13:11
      
      The domestic flights are in the middle of my trip. I booked as a multi city trip all at once direct with ANA.
      - prankster on 30/04/2024 - 14:56
        
        @ozbargainer88: then yeah thats really good that you did it as a multi trip all with ANA for 1k!
        surprised you didn't want to try at least the bullet train from tokyo to osaka at least?
        
        wonder what the times would be between airport and bullet train
        e.g.
        bullet train - go to train station, 3 hour bullet train to osaka, then local train to accom
        airplane - go to airport, wait for boarding etc, 1 hour flight to osaka, pickup luggage, then local train to accom
  - ThatNintendoKid on 30/04/2024 - 14:47
    
    whatt!!! Do you have a link or method to how you did it? Want to do the same route but sometime in Dec or January maybe
    - prankster on 30/04/2024 - 14:56
      
      go on ana website and search with multi city option lol
      
      i doubt youd get 1k return in dec/jan coz its peak season

November doesn't really seem that cheap, looks more like existing prices from before (was looking at Melb Tokyo return for 3 weeks, even picking Tues/Wed depart and Fri return for the cheapest days - $1361).

    November is not a rainy season. Depending on the areas November is one of the best time to catch autumn foliage, so it's not going to be a cheap period

Thanks. Pulling the trigger now as I missed the ANA sale but 10% of me still wanting to stop at PH for quick Jolibee.
- prankster on 30/04/2024 - 09:13
  
  hahahah if only you could do a multi stop via PH to tokyo and it cost the same price. i dont think your allowed to leave the airport unless your ticket is multi stop?
  - Fredfloresjr on 30/04/2024 - 09:15
    
    $200 cheaper but +8 hours travel. I don't mind waiting for 4+ hours at the airport with few burgers from Jolibee lol

      depends which airport terminal too, and plus you have to go outside of customs which would you be allowed?

I want to visit Japan in July, so far have done zero planning, not sure where to start.

Would a 10-day trip (realistically 8 full days) sufficient for 3 cities? Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto?

There are other cities I want to visit but will have be another trip.

  Don't do 3 cities in 10 days. Keep in mind that travel between cities, accomodation check ins etc chew up quite a bit of time too.

  If you like Ghibli films (Spirited Away, Totoro, etc) just be aware that you need to book tickets to the new theme park, Ghibli Park, TWO MONTHS in advance at the moment.
  
  I just booked for my June trip and almost missed out (signed on 8 minutes after tickets for June went on sale, still barely got some).
  
  We are doing Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya over 10 days. Shinkansen between cities is only a few hours, so probably 5 days tokyo, 3 in Osaka and 2 in Nagoya (Ghibli park etc). That's a very tight schedule though, do two cities (or even just Tokyo) if you might be coming back again a few years from now.

      Japan is huge, the city's are vertical/dense as, so many nooks and crannies.
      
      JR pass is like $500 so it's quite expensive for 8 days of travel ($62.50/day). So make sure you line up stuff because you can get a one time use Shinkansen ticket too ~$50
      
      Tokyo Metro tickets are like $3.60 return as a reference, or $6/$9 for a daily depending which train line you take.
      
      Just figure out what differentiates/isn't available in each area and cross check it with your want to list.
      
      Stuff to checkout:
      Onsens, Ryokans, bullet trains, theme parks, teamlabs (planets+borderless), san rio, Disneyland, Disney sea, universal, Harry potter, studio ghibli, buildings e.g. skytree, mt fuji, Pokemon centres, Kirin beer garden, maid /cat/dog/<insert animal/object> cafes.
      
      The food is endless and can be as cheap or expensive as you want!
      
      A bowl of Udon with tempura can be $7-$30.
      Maccas is like $6.50 for a medium meal.
      
      There's everything and probably anything!
      
      Tokyo is crazy af. Just checkout their train network map and you will realise why it's a huge time sink!

  Will never understand why people go to Tokyo AND Osaka on a short trip, unless they're using Osaka as a base to visit smaller towns in the area. Lived in Osaka for a year, and it was cool, but don't understand the appeal to tourists, it's just another big city with less to do than Tokyo.

    Depends where you’re going and maybe where you’re from in Australia, as well as what weather you enjoy. November to February weather suits me fine when travelling to Tokyo and further South - I’m from Melbourne. I’m guessing the snow bunnies would enjoy some of these times too for North. September and October are the end off their monsoon season, so expect heavy rains.

Looking at the JAL site as one should, there's some strangeness that people could take advantage of:

Melbourne to Narita, 30 October to 19 November $1379
but Melbourne to Fukuoka, same dates only $1089

It seems like adding a domestic leg within Japan gets you access to super discounted fare class Q or O. (Although, free domestic flight add-ons have long been available from JAL.)

Unusually, they are not showing up yet on the power user tool: https://matrix.itasoftware.com/search if you ask it to only show this fare class (put "F bc=Q|bc=O" in the extension codes field).
- Ventak on 01/05/2024 - 00:51
  
  One thing to keep in mind though is that the Tokyo-Fukuoka leg is via Haneda, while the Melbourne-Tokyo leg is via Narita.

I've never used this portal, are they reliable? Would it be the same price booking directly via JAL?

I can only find very limited date combinations on the site for August

I'm wanting to book a flight between Melbourne and Vancouver, and JAL is coming up as one of the best options. My question to the OzBargain community, is how do you manage to book in a 2/3 day layover in Japan as part of your flight? Is this possible?

just returned from 2 weeks trip tokyo-Osaka via Jetstar (last return for free sale), paid only 1.3k for family of 3. Insane value, cant wait til the next sale (missed the most recent one as we were over there and didnt check ozb….lol)
