      We have 3 young kids, 9, 5 & 3 and we have flown SYD to Tokyo many times, just get them the entertainment so they can watch shows and take some toys or colouring books etc. On the way home it is a night flight so they will sleep for most of that leg.

          My wife's from Japan so for us it's about visiting family.

          We usually take them to Disneyland which they love of course. It's the same as anywhere really, whatever your kids like to do try and find some places like that in Japan that you can take them to in between going to the places you want to go to.

    Could potentially be 5.25% cheaper using this to purchase Woolworths gift cards and then purchasing Jetstar gift cards from Woolworths. This will also help to get around credit card fees.

      These aren't direct flights - via GC

    • INFIDEL on 02/02/2017 - 10:46

      Again… Direct flights are available - depends on your location. Shows when selecting flights. I booked direct flights.

        • INFIDEL on 02/02/2017 - 12:33

          Yes, realised that.
          Far too frequent assumption here that everyone is from where you are.

          The "no direct flights" complaint is common in Jetstar Japan deals. May mislead others from booking flight.

        Except for the fact that all the radiation that has leaked into the water.

        And all the irradiated soil and waste that the Japanese government gathered, distributed, and burned all around Japan.

        Tell me how many nuclear physicists, TEPCO engineers and board members are still living in Japan.

        It's illegal to publish radiation levels that haven't been approved by the Japanese government for a reason, which has been caught time and again lying about the radiation levels.

    Once you add 20 kg luggage each way, plus credit card fees, it works out $493 return from Melbourne to Tokyo, and it ain't direct anymore.

    I'd be waiting for the next Qantas sale, around $700 for a full service airline including food, baggage, seat selection etc. and direct flights on a more comfortable airline.

    Still it's a good deal for those who are on a tight budget, but be wary of the looming Qantas offers.

    • nubzy on 02/02/2017 - 14:39

      Does Qantas fly dreamliner now like Jetstar?

      • Michael1983 on 02/02/2017 - 15:31

        Airbus A330-300 from Brisbane to Tokyo. Good inflight entertainment, usb charging point, more leg room in economy class compared to jetstar's 787. And considering 30 + 10 kg luggage allowance plus meals - sometimes it's worth to consider Qantas over Jetstar, especially if you manage to buy tickets on qantas red email sale.
        Plus Qantas arrives at terminal 2 at Narita, which is more convenient as you don't have to walk 600m from Jetstar's terminal 3 to the terminal 2 train station.

    $278 is pretty cheap for a return flight.

  • ash2000 on 02/02/2017 - 11:12
    +1

    Just a note to those travelling with carry-on only through Coolangatta, Jetstar are very strict with both domestic and international flights from this airport. As long as your carry on luggage weighs 7.xxkg you'll be ok. I took this flight last year to Narita, and I had to strap half my possessions to my body (drug smuggler style) just to get through. I'm terrible at packing light though.

    • INFIDEL on 02/02/2017 - 15:08
      +2

      Ah my usual style of packing - carry on (me).

      When Jetstar changed from 10 to 7kg carry on in late 2014, staff patrolled to check size & weight @OOL. No real issues. As long as under 8kg has been fine as you say.

      Check-in in Japan has been by local staff in all my trips - who usually don't worry about the rules. I was wearing old Japanese robes I was given. They were only concerned I would be too hot on arrival at Cooloongatta. Sweet😯

      • ash2000 on 02/02/2017 - 17:14

        Yeah they don't seem very strict at Narita. indeed many people, including myself, who were a little over put our excess stuff into the coin lockers (next to checkin area - 200yen) whilst we checked in.

        • INFIDEL on 02/02/2017 - 17:29

          I often have a plastic bag with food for flight, water bottle, etc as I put my 7kg pack on the scales. If they ask I say its not going on the flight - I'll eat it while waiting.

          That's always been accepted at check-in. Of course won't work at departure gate, but never had a problem in many years of flying with just carry on.

        Good base (cheap business hotels, good transport links) to visit Kansai region (Kyoto, Nara, etc) & beyond. It's known as the kitchen of Japan.

        Yes!!!! I went last year and loved it. Kyoto's main cbd has little restaurants around every corner, great shopping and isn't as busy as say Tokyo would be. Osaka I didn't get to see as much but had really beautiful tourist locations e.g. bamboo forest, a short bus trip away. I also recommend staying at J Hoppers Hostel if you are ever in Osaka!

          Lots of cheap places to stay in Osaka, but I go back to my usual - it's very cheap ($13/n last April on monthly rate), have my own small room, staff scream out my name when I return, and the common room walls have my writings & suggestions from many visits. I call it one of my homes in Japan.

          I'm 23 and started travelling solo when I was 19. I'd only not recommend it to vegetarians/vegans as it can be hard finding a place that accommodates your needs if you don't know where to look.

          @kzu:
          Special needs - Google, restaurant finder sites & TripAdvisor are handy resources. Pretty easy to find the few vegan etc restaurans that way, almost useless asking locals unless they have same needs, or try near sonw Buddhist temples.

          Travelling solo is great 👍
          Locals are more likely to be friendly & helpful than for groups or couples. I started travelling around 20 & still do it so many years later.

          @kzu: How long do people normally stay for? 1st time travelling solo. I'm trying to decide if I should go for 9 days or 11.

        • INFIDEL on 04/02/2017 - 19:16
          +2

          @slosh:
          It's a bit like asking how long is a piece of string - it varies.

          Depends on resources ($, amount of time off work/studies - usually the major factors), interests (why you're there), how comfortable you are in another country (& travelling alone), who you meet, what places you want to see & at what depth/intensity, etc.

          As fares are quite cheap, go for a shorter time & go back if you liked re experience. It's the only way to know, as we're all different.

          Last year I booked a cheap hotel room in Osaka for a month & went out on journeys from there. Also studied with a teacher there in my interest area. Other trips were much more adventurous & up to 10 weeks - in mountains, walking with pilgrims, sleeping on beaches. But that's me😯

          Language is usually not a problem in Japan. The experience will likely change you. Just go & enjoy.

        • INFIDEL on 04/02/2017 - 19:52

          @slosh:
          9 or 11 days - there won't be much difference, so choose the longer would be my suggestion. The first & last day are generally lost to travel, check in/out, sleep, airports etc. 2 days extra costs should not be much if you find cheaper accommodation.

          Plenty of hostels for backpackers at good prices. (Hotel rooms can be so isolating for the single traveller.) That way you meet other travellers & pick up tips. They supply maps, give advice, organise events, have common rooms to meet up & kitchens in some,… can be fun for single travellers as the place is full of them. Downside - sleeping in dorm rooms is usual, partying if you want to sleep, snorers, people catching early flights packing plastic bags while you try to sleep, people getting more noisy sex than you,… (The tales I could tell!)

          There are hostels (old business hotels) with single rooms around the same price or less, but not so well located. Many are only for longer stays. As a regular traveller, those are my budget choice ($13/n in Osaka in April on monthly rate, $150/wk in past in Tokyo - both in safe run down areas, but I love them). Those staying are there for longer, understand the place, and are often teaching English. So there's someone to chat with any time. Made some great friends.

          Choose a well rated hostel, with less people per room (dearer, but those who want to spend their money & nights partying won't usually pay extra for a dearer bed), in a location close to transport & attractions.

          If I'm unsure what to do (or too tired to plan), I tag along with other travellers who think they know what they're doing. (I've had 30+ people tag along with me - we had a great time.)

          The only time I returned early from Tokyo was after the 2011 earthquake. It wasn't the risk of radiation, or even being woken by the shaking room most mornings (very disturbing - how much had I drunk?), but everything closed down (especially traditional festivals I had come to see & the people were so sad). So I don't think too long a trip is possible. But after 10 weeks, I start to miss my own bed😯

          @slosh:

          Good luck @slosh :) I know travelling solo for the first time can seem quite daunting and scary (I was in desperate tears at the airport) but once you start it's liberating and you feel like you gain a new sense of freedom.

          Just make sure you put yourself out there and experience the country for what it is. I definitely recommend the 11 days because it's fun and there's lots to do. I went for 11 days last year and took an overnight bus to Kyoto and was also able to explore Osaka and Nara. The hostel staff were extremely helpful in letting me know the local sites and the general public overly helpful when I was lost/struggling.

    Trying so hard to convince a friend to come to Japan with me instead of planning for a 2 week Europe holiday. Seems like Europe in 2 weeks would be a waste, costs $1400 getting return flights and we'd have to stay in only a couple of places to get a full experience.

    I hope this sale convinces him. He flinches every time I brought up Europe flight costs so HOPEFULLY.

  • chewbot on 02/02/2017 - 11:18

    There seems to be a lot of experienced Japan travellers on this site so I'm after opinions about how expensive it will be once i get there.

    Cheap flights are awesome but don't want it to end up costing me a fortune.

    I would be traveling with the wife and 2 kids (9 and 6). We wouldn't be chasing luxury but nothing toooo dodgy for the kids. No skiing just checking out the sites and culture.

    Thoughts?

    • INFIDEL on 02/02/2017 - 11:32
      +3

      This is a common question…

      It depends - on many things (which you've already started outlining) -
      travelling alone or group (room rates are often per person),
      how long,
      when (peak tourist season is for cherry blossom, Golden Week at start of May. Obon in mid-August, Christmas, etc),
      what location(s) (tourist areas book out & can be expensive, but nearby cities often have cheap hotels & good transport links),
      distance travelled (JR rail pass for longer travel or just seeing a location on day tickets),…

      Long distance travel is expensive (except on cheap uncomfortable buses). There are other rail passes than the JR Pass.
      Seeing a city or region is cheaper than travelling to see a lot. It's also less stressful. (My preferred option now - basing in a city & taking day or longer trips. You return to the calm of your accommodation.)

      Accommodation can be very cheap but usually unsuitable for couples & families (eg Osaka basic business hotel room for $13/n last year on monthly rate, or hostels & capsule hotels are dearer), reasonable priced Inns & traditional accommodation to expensive hotels & resorts. Search Airbnb for range of prices for what you require.

      Good food can be cheap (from $5 for Ramen etc), but dining out in Tokyo at top restaurant is world class expensive - more Michelin star places than elsewhere is claim. In general good price & value.

      Attractions can be expensive with most interesting Shrines, Temples, museums, etc charging admission.

      But I fall in the frugal single traveller class wanting experiences over luxury, staying longer than most. My rooms are clean, the staff welcoming & English speaking, cook some meals in kitchen at accommodation ($2 for fresh Udon pre-pack noodles with added ingredients - bought from supermarket), hitchhiking in rural areas, camping on beaches, drinking with locals I always meet🏯
      So I am not best to answer family travel costs😯

      The JNTO offers suggestions online for costs. It's not as expensive as most expect. Try https://www.jnto.org.au/faq/

          Your personal interpreter - lucky😀

          Posted the above as general advice to help others.

          On speaking Japanese…
          I read an interview with popular travel writer, Bill Bryson. My interpretation of what he said - only speaking English gave him the freedom to just observe, that speaking the local language would not.

          For me, seeing the world as a child, not needing to understand, making mistakes - enhances the travel experience. Same as going beyond the pages of a travel guide to really experience.

          That's how I travel - with only English and a few key words of the local language, but open to the experiences a native speaker may be unaware of. I reflect back to them my understanding of aspects of the people & customs. A regular response is "So that's why we do that!" I've found Japanese respect me for that ability.
          (Much easier for a single traveller.)

          I've always enjoyed my very different journeys through various regions of Japan. I still am surprised and rewarded after so many visits. I've never found that with many travels in other countries. That's why I love japan🎏

          If you choose to go - Enjoy😯

      Food prices are comparable to Australia. Your most expensive expense will be accommodation.

      Food quality is generally quite high!

        +1 yep

        But getting good AirBNB deals (especially 3 months before your departure date) you're bound to find places cheaper than hotels over there and worth the money.

        • theguyrules on 03/02/2017 - 09:51

          +100 to AirBNB, it's fantastic over there. Incredible value for money.

      If this is your first trip to Japan and going on summer time, I suggest only stay in Tokyo for 7-8 days, with day trip to Nikko, Kamakura, Kawaguchiko, Kawagoe, etc. Without buying JR Pass. It is kinda hard for kids in that Hot and Humid weather. Rely on Airbnb for accommodation, or some cheap hotels. You can find food as cheap as 300 yen-ish($4) in Japanese fast food chain like Matsuya, Sukiya, Hanamura Udon, etc. Even there are plenty sushi train that only cost 100-120 yen per plate for the cheapest plate. There is a cheap Michelin star Ramen called Tsuta in Tokyo for 1000yen-ish! Heck, most of the time i just bought Rice Ball in 711 for breakfast, quiet tasty.

        Ah the cheap eats places like Matsuya, Sukiya, Hanamura Udon, etc, I know them well. Selecting from the coupon machine (select dish / meal & drink like beer 🍺, press picture, pay money, collect coupon, (press lever for change), hand to staff) can be tricky first time. But staff will assist.

        Prices are plus 8% Consumption tax.

      Try airbnb and you may be able to get a two bedroom place for under $120 a night, it may not be in the middle of town but as long as you are near a train station about 20 mins to Shinjuku you can access most places.

    • chewbot on 03/02/2017 - 11:38

      Wow! Thanks to everyone for all their tips. Definately, a lot of good info for me to take on board!

    Finally put my $100 voucher to good use. Voucher expires next month if you haven't use it yet.

    • INFIDEL on 02/02/2017 - 11:53

      An even better deal - enjoy🎏

    Of course no flights from Perth as usual :(

    • ash2000 on 02/02/2017 - 13:06

      You get the cheap bail flights, stop complaining! :p

  • Garbotoxin on 02/02/2017 - 13:01

    How often do these Jetstar deals happen? I can't put in leave at work in time (don't want to risk it in the event it doesn't get approved) and I would like to go in the November period…

    • nismo on 02/02/2017 - 16:52

      There's one in early Feb every year.

      Someone else mentioned every 6 months.

  • newboz on 02/02/2017 - 13:03

    So in general, which one is usually the better deal (cheaper)? Budget airline (Jetstar or Tigerair etc) with additional luggage (checked baggage) fee, OR full-service airline (Qantas, Virgin) that most of the time includes luggage/checked baggage? I tend to think that budget airline always finds a way to get you in the end with its random and ridiculous fees. Sort of like click-and-bait, yes the flight is cheap but it comes with a bunch of crazy fees. On the other hand, full-service airline has everything included. What do most people prefer for a family with 2 young kids?

  • aimon on 02/02/2017 - 13:08

    Last time wife and i went the AUD dropped through the floor to 44 yen per dollar. This time we are going to go large :)

      I know that feeling. But Japanese people were so generous when they realised I was Australian. They would raise 1 hand to indicate the rising value of the Yen, and quickly lower re other indicating the rapidly falling au$.

    • Dadidalol on 03/02/2017 - 22:43

      In comparison the last time I went exchange rate was 1 AUD to 99 Yen….

  • unistudent546 on 02/02/2017 - 13:27

    do people not book with plus bundle which is $116 one way for the checked baggage? even if we book checked baggage separately it costs the same

    so the total is approx 550 dollars from sydney to tokyo.

      Ah a unistudent. Depends on what you want.

      I just take carry on bag for 4 week trip, include some snacks & water bottle for flight, don't book seat as am single traveller, & sleep most of trip.

      Have been given free movies last few flights & free dinner, breakfast & coffees on last Japan flight - by pure luck😀

      • unistudent546 on 02/02/2017 - 13:38

        I see, wow carry on bag for 4 weeks, i don't know how i can fit it
