- Aug 31, 2025 Ray Hobson Very reliableThis was my first time using this site and I was very please with how everything was handled. Right after I booked my flight I got a call from one of the associates letting me know i didn't pick out my seats, and choose my seat for my trip there and back from my destination. I was kept up to date in my flight information and they made sure I got my boarding pass. My trip was very stress free. I will be using them again. Thank you!

- Aug 28, 2025 MariaEsperanza Estilo Nicko Went Above and BeyondI had to change the return flight of two out of four passengers in our group. Because only half of the group need to travel differently, it took several calls to Iberia Airlines directly and because of the time difference, Nicko coordinated and helped me over a couple of days. Throughout the experience, he explained what he was doing and why he needs to put me on hold and why he needs to call me back the following day, He was very knowledgeable, professional and empathetic to my predicament. Nicko owned the issues and the process and was very transparent with cost and every details of the transactions. I am very grateful and because of him, I will always trust CheapOAir with my travel needs. -Maria E.E.

When Is Our Best Time to Visit Tokyo?
Tokyo is a city of four seasons, each one deeply tied to cultural rituals, festivals, and travel patterns.
Low Season (Jan–Feb)
Tokyo slows in winter, and so do prices. Great for sightseeing with fewer crowds. Expect round-trip fares from the U.S. in the $550–$700 range.
Shoulder Season (Mar–May, Sept–Nov)
Light jackets, blooming cherry trees, and bright fall leaves, this is Tokyo at its prettiest. Airfares are modest and the weather is sublime.
Peak Season (Late March–Early April, Late Dec)
Cherry blossom season and New Year’s are peak travel times. Book at least 2–3 months out to get our best prices.
What You Need to Know Before Flying to Tokyo
- Flight time: ~13 hours from NYC, ~11 from LAX or SEA
- Airports: Narita (NRT) – farther, often less expensive; Haneda (HND) – closer, more convenient for late arrivals
- Passport: Ensure it's valid for the duration of your trip
- Packing tip: Bring a Type A or B adapter; voltage is 100V
- Connectivity: Public Wi-Fi is improving, but renting a pocket Wi-Fi or local SIM card is a smart move
- Navigation: Google Maps works great; hyper-efficient trains connect virtually every corner
- Etiquette: Quiet voices, organized lines, and no phone calls on trains, respecting order is appreciated
- Airport transport:Take the Narita Express (~55 mins) or Haneda’s Tokyo Monorail and local train to get downtown efficiently
Quick Tips for Smart Savings
- Set alerts for airfare deals to both Haneda and Narita
- Pick shoulder seasons for better fares and fewer crowds
- Book early and take overnight flights to maximize time
- Choose IC cards like Suica or Pasmo for easier (and sometimes cheaper) local travel
- Consider smaller accommodations like business hotels or capsule stays to save
