Awesome deal for travel to Tokyo in June

If you’ve got the days to spare (4 night minimum) and can find flights that work, this is a deal not to be missed. The Japan National Tourism Organization has partnered with JAL, Continental, ANA and United Airlines as well as five hotels in Tokyo to offer up a simply unbelievable package. It is pricing at $780 including all taxes and fees and includes round-trip air and four nights of hotel in Tokyo.

Considering that the best sale fares seem to hit around $575 or so adding on $200 for the hotel is a bargain unless you planned on sleeping in a plywood box like I did last time I was there. And the hotels participating appear to be pretty nice (one has rack rates over $250/night).

Availability is spotty but it is there for some departure dates. Bookings must be done through an affiliated travel agency, not online. And there are no guarantees that you’ll earn frequent flyer points on the flights as they could be considered consolidator tickets. Still, if the inventory shows up and you can spare the time this is a phenomenal deal. Plenty of time to have a blast in Tokyo.

Fly to Tokyo and not earn frequent flier miles??

Well, not ideal, but without knowing for sure that it is an earning fare I figured I’d be cautious in the endorsement. I would have gone anyways had the seats been available the dates I needed. Alas, they were not. I’ll just have to plan another trip next time the $600 fares show up. 🙂

Which agency did you call?

I called the first 3 on the list. They started to parrot matching inventory back to me so I didn’t bother with the others. Maybe there were more seats out of other cities??
