How much was your airfare from LAX to Japan?

[BarryH]

R&E, if you don't mind me asking, how much was your airfare from LAX to Japan? I priced out flights from Ft. Myers to Japan for next October. Prices were at least $1,000+! Are there any discount carriers out there for Japan?

We flew direct on Korean Air (partners with Delta) for about $750 each round trip. We could have probably saved another $50 had we flown some slightly scarier airline with a stop over.

 

I watched the flights for our 9/18 flight since April! We booked something in late June...all I can say is you have to look everyday as the fluctuate by about $200 in both directions!

hey its me again . I "thought" I had my ticket but I was advised to do the same thing you are doing. I had a ticket for like 985.00 leaving from charlotte NC, but was told to "shop around. What is a good website to use. I use my student websites at www.statravel.com and www.studentuniverse.com and the typical www.expedia.com

Ugh.. you guys flew Korean also?!?!?! What an interesting experience..

We went through a consolidator (also called a bucket fare shop) and got the LAX-NRT segment for around $540 R/T. The downside is we didn't get frequent flyer miles due to the fare class. We then booked the MCO-LAX segment separately. Barry - Take a look at flying out of MCO - I see roundtrip fares MCO-NRT pretty frequently in the sub-750 range. Sign up for travelocitys fare watcher and you can see how much it fluctuates.
