💘 Airlines 💘
The average ticket to Japan in general costs about S$900-1200++ for direct flights without promotions. I am not much of a stop-over person, the faster you can get to your destination, the faster you can start your day. Of course, there is a price to pay for that convenience, but sometimes (if not most of the time) it is worth it.- ANA - Air fares tend to be slight cheaper than Korean Air starting at about S$900. However, the website is only optimized for Internet Explorer so that's not so great for users of other browsers.
- Singapore Airlines - If you have confirmed your flight dates and are pretty sure there will be no changes to those dates, buying the tickets a couple of months before can save you a lot especially if they have special on going promotions (i.e. around S$650-790++). Though the tickets tend to be on the pricier side, it is worth the money for those long international flights.
💛 Sites for accommodation/flights and comparison 💛
- Hotellook – Provides a good overview of all accommodation rates from booking sites like booking.com, expedia.com etc… Great resource for a quick comparison of the various rates across the web for hotels and picking out the cheapest one.
- AirBnB - If you want accommodation a little more affordable or be able to blend in more with the locals, AirBnB is a good place to start. Here's a list of AirBnBs accomodations we stayed in:
