Tokyo Flights

One of the largest cities in the world, Tokyo is a bustling, unique metropolis that is filled with history. This locale manages to seamlessly mingle the old with the new, the natural with the synthetic. Tourists gather in this location in order to bask in the extraordinary cityscapes and gaze at the awe-inspiring mountains to shop for the latest gadgets and take a peaceful moment to soak up the spirit of the many shrines. This city can be rather expensive; however, cheap flights to Tokyo are easy to find if you do your research first.

Best time to go to Tokyo

Peak Season:

From April to May, then again in September through to November, the city sees its shoulder season. Although many tourists come to this destination to enjoy the beautiful cherry blossoms bloom and the stunning foliage develop, flights to Tokyo are not usually expensive. The only exception to this is during the national holiday known as Golden Week, which can bring about large crowds of both tourists and locals.

Shoulder Season:

From July to August many of the citizens of Japan leave the city in order to avoid the exceedingly warm climate. However, tourists still gather in the city in order to sight-see, observe the Obon celebrations, or take part in one of the many festivals.

Off Season:

The off season, from December to January, is the best time to find inexpensive flights, as most tourists prefer to stay out of cold. Given that the city becomes less crowded, this is an excellent time to visit some of the more popular landmarks, like the Rainbow Bridge, or one of the numerous shrines and temples.

How to survive the flight to Tokyo?
We’ve rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you’ll be speeding through airport security and having a ball in Tokyo before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First things first, pack in your passport, important documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you’ll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favourite movies are always good options. If you plan to take a short nap, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Check carefully that you don’t have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your highest priority when selecting what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are your best bet.
  • A condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this from happening. Wearing a pair of compression socks also helps reduce your risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Tokyo?
It’s easy — be prepared. We’ve compiled some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through airport security. Watch out Tokyo, here you come:

  • Have your boarding pass and passport easily accessible. They’ll be the first things you’ll be asked for by airport security.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They’ll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned separately.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you’re less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked baggage. They won’t be allowed in the cabin.
