Which airlines offer the best value?

How to Book Cheap Flights to Tokyo

To get the cheapest fare to Tokyo, book your flights 3 to 5 months in advance and fly into Narita (NRT) rather than Haneda (HND). Use Google Flights to track prices and avoid weekends and peak seasons like Golden Week in early May and cherry blossom season in late March.

Set up price alerts. Go to Google Flights, enter your departure city and Tokyo (all airports), and toggle the 'Track prices' switch. Do this at least 4 months before your intended departure date.
Compare arrival airports. Search for both NRT and HND. Flights to Narita are often $100–$200 cheaper because it is further from the city center, though you will pay about $20 more for the train into Tokyo.
Use flexible date views. On Google Flights, click the date box to see the 'Price Graph' or 'Date Grid'. Shifting your trip by just 2 days can often save you $150 or more.
Book mid-week. Flights departing on Tuesday or Wednesday are consistently cheaper than those departing on Friday or Saturday. Aim for a Tuesday-to-Tuesday or Wednesday-to-Wednesday round trip.
