How can I find good airline fares to Japan from Boston for my honeymoon? Less than $1000, perhaps?

Question

We want to leave May 28 and come back two weeks later, give or take...

Answer 1

I fly between 80-100 times a year (mostly for work) and almost every single time I find the cheapest flights through the airline directly. What I always do is look on Expedia or Travelocity or one of those websites, and then I find the best/cheapest flight, then I go to that airline's website, select the same flights, and get the same price. And it's even better to go directly through the airline because most of those other websites charge a $5 (or higher) "booking fee" that the airlines don't charge.

Answer 2

When I went to Tokyo the only place I found under $1000 a person was from Los Angeles (LAX) but then again it was only $997. I went around that time last year. It was still $400 for both of us to fly to LA so we spent about $1200/person and that was the absolute cheapest airline we found. My wife and I have gone on Domestic Vacations and have found that some airlines have deals with Hotels for a nice discount when booked together. So I would check at the Hotel you want to stay at and see if they offer any such packages.

Good Luck and Congrats.

Their fares are lower than Travelocity and Expedia, especially when you are flexible on dates and time.
