Looks like the announcement of international travel starting is already bringing out some deals with many online travel agencies selling cheap Jetstar tickets to Japan.

Note: Jetstar includes carry-on of 7kg luggage.

Buyer beware - while the federal government has indicated travel will be possible, anything could change, or Japan could even close borders, for all we know.

Some examples below.

    Has anyone seen how travel insurance is going to handle covid? Or other noticeable changes to coverage?

      each company is rewriting their policies. Some are covering it, some I suspect will cover to certain destinations only. Definitely read the teeny tiny print before you buy.

        Definitely read the teeny tiny print before you buy.

        Maybe they should make it clear up front, rather than hide it in the tiny print…

      Australian government advice for Japan is 'do not travel' so travel insurance will not cover you for anything. Nobody knows if or when the travel advice will change.

      • thestig on 04/10/2021 - 14:40
        +12

        Isn't the travel advice for everywhere overseas 'do not travel' currently until the international travel ban is lifted?

        • capslock on 04/10/2021 - 14:43
          +4

          Yes but we don't know which countries will have the 'do not travel' advice removed and which ones will stay.

      • INFIDEL on 04/10/2021 - 14:46
        +5

        Staying the obvious…
        Travel advice is not relevant for Feb 2022 onwards (No one knows conditions then) - it's just for current conditions. Advice changes.

        We won't be travelling if Japan won't accept tourists then. So flights may be cancelled.
        Just arranged refund of cancelled Perth flight with Jetstar

        There are many other unknowns to consider. Will Japan accept an influx of travellers? Will you be quarantined - how long & at what cost?? (WA is charging a "subsidised" $2520 for 2 weeks) No one wants to be locked in a hotel room for weeks on their holiday!

        • bargainist on 04/10/2021 - 19:41

          Additionally, what happens if you get covid during the flight to the destination, while on the trip or when you return, which is almost a sure thing when confined on a plane, staying at the hotel with other guests and travelling to all sorts of places. There's currently a 7 day home quarantine for those returning which is not something I find worth accepting if my trip is only 2-3 weeks.

          There's so many uncertainties, but one thing appears to be certain is quarantining. You couldn't pay me enough to do hotel quarantine.

      • borgsta on 04/10/2021 - 15:32

        Really? God damn it.

      • Serapis on 05/10/2021 - 21:22

        Yep this, pretty much gambling at the moment, ticket prices aren't even that much cheaper than pre covid. Might also be out of pocket further if arrivals need to quarantine at own expense.

  • scozbargain on 04/10/2021 - 14:24

    Any direct flights?

    • Associatedbeatthatflight @ Beat That Flight on 04/10/2021 - 14:26

      just some of the ones from CNS and GC.

      Other airlines have direct, but are more expensive - you can search on the dates you want and select direct only.

    • Cyphar on 04/10/2021 - 18:03

      Used to love the MEL - NRT flights but those stopped back in 2017 and became Qantas exclusive.

    Ummm, as of now there is no indication from the Japanese government that they are allowing tourists back in - currently you need a valid visa and a crapload of official forms, a specifically filled out PCR test form, etc. On top of that, there is still a 10 day mandatory home quarantine where they will check on you through an official app / robo-calls. And yes, this is all required even if you are double-vaccinated.

    You'd have to be very brave to be making a booking right now.

      Indeed, have a Kiwi friend flying to Japan on Wednesday (not from Aus) and it's a rigmarole to get in.

        Sorry, really didn't want to rain on your parade! Wish things were different.

        I just think a lot of people may be in for a shock if they think they can just travel to Japan as before - I hope Qantas communicates this clearly to their customers after all the big announcements they made recently! Hopefully if there's enough demand things will change on the Japan end soon.

        • Associatedbeatthatflight @ Beat That Flight on 04/10/2021 - 14:39

          No no, it's best people know! I even put in buyer beware - heck, Qantas, Jetstar, the Aussie and Japanese govt could all say it's ok, and then suddenly mid January the new…Omega? variant comes out and it's all shut down again.

            @beatthatflight: Wait how it jump from Delta to Omega? What about all the variants in between?

              @nightelves: It was just a random one, I wasn't sure where we're up to. Apparently already used Zeta, Kappa and Theta so who knows any more. Source: https://www.who.int/en/activities/tracking-SARS-CoV-2-varian…

            • ATangk on 04/10/2021 - 19:02

              @nightelves: There are already variants beyond Delta. This is just the one that spread from India and because of the massive influx of Indian Australians returning home, is the one we have to deal with front and centre. Same story for other countries.

              For interest, see this wiki page for a quick rundown.

                @ATangk: Well, your Wikipedia link shows that Delta is the latest Variant of Concern, and also the worst (in terms of Transmissibility & Hospitalisation).

                I'm also not sure that "Indian Australians returning home" brought Delta here. At least in Sydney, the theory is it came from USA.

                  @spaij: There are already heaps of 'older' variants from the original strain. Delta just has the highest viral load of all the variants.

                  So the biggest concern at the moment is variants of the Delta strain, unless a worse variant of the original strain pops up.

                  India is just about pure numbers. Lots of people, lots of evolution.

                  The origins are all irrelevant. SARS has been around for decades before a poor infected bat got the blame in a Chinese wet Market. It had been around for 17 years+ by the time it ended up in the bat. We could have squashed this in 2002. Just hope it doesnt evolve to MERS covid strength 34% fatality rate.

                  We really should have a proper vaccine before opening any borders. Current vaccines are brilliant in stopping current strains from making their way into the lungs. But still can set up shop in the nasal passage and throat epithelial cells. If SARS covid learns how to wreck havoc in other cells, like MERS covid ..then we will be seeing 1/3 of the population dissapearing.

        what visa are they going in on?

        I have a friend who has a 1yr working visa to japan who is desperate to get there but cant seem to get in.

        are they a resident / citizen or something a bit more official than a 1yr working holiday visa?

        • Associatedbeatthatflight @ Beat That Flight on 04/10/2021 - 15:04

          spousal visa, so might take your friend a bit more effort, sorry :/

        • velleyy on 04/10/2021 - 15:13

          That's kind of strange to be honest.

          I have multiple friends (1 of whom came home then returned back to Japan after a month's visit) who has went to Japan during recent months, yes they all have valid visa under the company they are working for.

          It's not just from Australia but also other countries, so it's kinda strange to hear that your friend is having issue if he has a work visa. Is that a working holiday by any chance?

          • MrThing on 04/10/2021 - 15:20

            @velleyy: yes 1yr working holiday. applied and got just b4 covid hit, then covid hit and hes been in limbo waiting.

            hes worried however as they have an expiry time and the japanese gov havent announced extensions to those visas because the country is closed

            cant just reapply as he is now >30yrs old

            • raptormesh on 04/10/2021 - 15:25

              @MrThing: Yeah working holiday will be off the cards for a long time.

            • velleyy on 04/10/2021 - 15:34

              @MrThing: owh tough luck to him. Hopefully he's able to get there.

              Another method is to just apply for English teaching school. The good thing about their visa is that it's not tied to the employer as long as you can get another job within 3 months or so. Granted, if he was looking to work at the ski/beach resort then it would definitely be harder..

              I know someone who entered the country via that way during COVID, so it's an avenue if he's very keen. Granted in my friend's case, it was just her visa expiring while she was back at home when the covid thing hit, but they still had to reapply for a new visa.

      • 28kb on 05/10/2021 - 23:25

        What job does your friend have to get into japan?

    • Pcoder on 04/10/2021 - 16:07

      It's a bit of a changing situation similar to us in Australia, but the barriers are starting to come down.

      Before this month it was 14 days quarantine and very limited on what foreign nationals were allowed in. Now its Foreign nationals who have been vaccinated and 10 days Quarantine (plus any visa stuff). Japan has still at least has to get higher with its vaccines (70% first dose, 60% second), which is probably why the gates haven't flung open yet, but I kind of feel by the end of the year it should be at 80%+ and enough supply of vaccine that the entry conditions will be Vaccinated and maybe a pre flight Covid test.

      • ankor on 04/10/2021 - 15:46
        +14

        Japan is one of those places where there are many, many different experiences that you can have and still find fairly new and fresh. That's the case even when there are many points of similarity across those experiences.

        It also depends on how long you are going..

        10 X 1 week trips might not be enough, but 10 X 4 week trips and you'll have probably done all the touristy stuff in Japan by then.

        Even then, it's such an interesting place to travel you can easily get lost in it.

    It might be useful to include a brief summary of your and the airline's cancellation policy with your deals and maybe a link to it. For example for domestic flights Virgin (direct) was allowing you to cancel up to 24 hours prior with a full refund in travel credit without a reason needed, Jetstar was only allowing cancellation with a travel credit refund if your trip was affected by covid and there were certain conditions on what was considered affected, etc.

      We just find cheap deals - we don't sell them. As such we don't have cancellation policies - it depends who you click through to buy from. When it's been clear - eg just Qantas, then I've posted their policies.

      you would be reckless to travel overseas at day 1 without the prior expectation and full reality that at any stage the doors could close, the flights could dry up and you would be stranded in another country as a tourist without a sufficient visa to stay long term

    Just a reminder that at this moment you cannot take any public transport from airports in Japan to city if you arrive from overseas. You need to hire a car or arrange pick-up by someone. There are so many conditions you need to satisfy to get through immigration at this moment.
    I'd rather wait until those conditions are lifted in Japan. It's too risky to book a flight yet although I'd love to visit Japan asap.

    • raptormesh on 04/10/2021 - 15:22

    The hassles of uncertainty…
    Booked cheap in March with Jetstar to fly Gold Coast to Perth on 15/10… What could go wrong??

    Flight cancelled! Arranged a refund last night. Amazingly only took 7min on Chat.

    Making bookings & plans for a trip that may not happen is not recommended.
    Now cancelling accommodation etc. A real pain & disappointment.

    Could have changed flight, but would have had to have testing & spent 2 weeks in quarantine costing $2520!! Who wants that on a holiday!

    Would love to get back to Japan. But will wait for conditions to improve in Japan.
    My friends there say don't come yet. Conditions for tourists & travel within Japan aren't great.

    It's too uncertain!!

    Much as I want to resume my regular Japan trips…

    I think I'll continue to wait. When I left in March of last year, I pretty much figured it wouldn't be possible/safe to go back/be able to return until 2023 at the earliest. But this gives me hope that whenever it does, flights won't break the bank.

    • INFIDEL on 04/10/2021 - 15:51
      +1

      Also waiting to resume regular travels since 2007 to Japan.

      While travel always has some uncertainty (sometimes a joy of travel), at present its a bit too much uncertainty to book!

      But price of flights was governed by amount of vacant seats on flight. There would be a lot of seats to fill at the moment, so lower price. Expect cancellations if not enough sell.
      As travel resumes with more certainty - prices will increase. But sales should fill less popular flights.

          Flight just got cancelled - refunded.
          Now Jetstar is selling flights early next year for as low as $22 each way. I expect they have a few unsold seats!

          Plenty of warnings in comments.
          (Mods could highlight the uncertainty of these Deals)

          But no reason to restrict people's choices by removing ALL travel Deals because of possible risks.

          Some may want to know about travel to return to their home overseas, or visit family after a long absence!

          Every travel booking carries uncertainty.
          Conditions can quickly change.
          The lower price reflects that risk, uncertainty & lower interest in bookings.

          As with any important decision - seek other advice.
