Cheap Tix to Tokyo?
Hi,
I'd like to travel to Tokyo at the end of May. Does anyone know how I can get a cheap tix from San Diego to Tokyo (like under $600)? Which airlines should I try? I've tried Orbitz and Expedia, but the price is still pretty high. Any advice? Is there a travel package that includes hotel and air and the price is still reasonable? Thanks. JC |
You didn't say what dates you need, but expedia is showing $600 fares on United. It's actually $605, but you could save the $5 if you book on www.united.com
Here is an example: <b>Total price for this trip: $605.27 1 Review the flight details Wed 26-May-04 San Diego (SAN) Depart 6:40 am Terminal R to Los Angeles (LAX) Arrive 7:20 am Terminal 7 119 mile(s) (192 km) Duration: 0hr 40mn Flight: 6538 Operated by: UNITED EXPRESS/SKYWEST -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Economy/Coach Class, Canadair RJ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Los Angeles (LAX) Depart 12:30 pm Terminal 7 to Tokyo (NRT) Arrive 3:55 pm +1 day Terminal 1 5451 mile(s) (8773 km) Duration: 11hr 25mn Flight: 891 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Economy/Coach Class, Lunch, Boeing 747-400 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total miles: 5570 mile(s) (8964 km) Total duration: 12hr 5mn (17hr 15mn with connections) Tue 8-Jun-04 Tokyo (NRT) Depart 4:25 pm Terminal 1 to Los Angeles (LAX) Arrive 10:05 am Terminal 6 5451 mile(s) (8773 km) Duration: 9hr 40mn Flight: 890 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Economy/Coach Class, Dinner, Boeing 747-400 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Los Angeles (LAX) Depart 11:50 am Terminal 7 to San Diego (SAN) Arrive 12:35 pm Terminal R 119 mile(s) (192 km) Duration: 0hr 45mn Flight: 6070 Operated by: UNITED EXPRESS/SKYWEST -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Economy/Coach Class, EMB-120 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total miles: 5570 mile(s) (8964 km) Total duration: 10hr 25mn (12hr 10mn with connections) </b> |
Thanks for checking. I'm thinking of 5/21 to 5/31 or 6/1. San Diego <-> Tokyo.
Thanks! |
You may have better chances of finding the kind of fare you want if you did not put in specific dates when doing your search.
I just inputted San Diego - Narita in Travelocity, but left the dates flexible ("from today to ...."). The lowest fare was about $480 plus about $70-$100 in taxes, fees, etc. You should be able to find something within that range. Otherwise, try LAX to Narita. Good luck! |
Try departing on the 20th since you will probably find the best fares for travel Monday through Thursday. May 20 - June 1 is $585 now for SAN <-> NRT. |
JC98,
Your departure date pushes the fare way up. To get the lower fare you will need to fly Mon-Wed both ways. |
Thanks for your suggestions. I moved my dates around a bit and got a tix on priceline.
|
may i be so intrusive and ask what airline, class, routing, and price? also, never went through priceline...so how was your experience?
|
I got the ticket on priceline for $607 (including taxes and fees). Travel 5/21 to 5/31 on American. Economy class. It's the best price I could find.
|
that seems like an excellent price. thanks, and happy sushi.:-)
