    ~$490pp for 5 people from Sydney to Tokyo return in October is a great deal, shame it's not during school holiday! I'm kind of regretting booking a trip to Hawaii in April now, I'd much rather go to Japan!

    That would be right, I booked flights probably 2 weeks ago to Japan from Brisbane,

    However I paid $893 return for a direct flight, with Qantas Airways (Direct) To late to change anything as I've booked in hotels etc now..

    • piggyfund on 11/02/2016 - 08:51

      Don't you just hate that? on the up side… have a great trip!

      • Gomo on 11/02/2016 - 08:56

        I'll call the flight company I booked through and ask! I just did a search on the website and found the exact same flight for $741 return!

        So we originally paid $1786 but could of paid $1482 Saving over $304 ! :( Lets see if they can do anything for us

        • piggyfund on 11/02/2016 - 09:01

          You can try but I think these price match usually happen at the time of booking. If there is a $50 cancellation fee or something quite low it may be worth you cancelling and rebooking a cheaper flight.

        • Gomo on 11/02/2016 - 09:07

          @piggyfund: Booked through BYO Jet, they said that unfortunately it's already been ticketed (Unsure what that is) She said that to cancel the fare it's $150 per ticket so not worth the hassle,

          That's a bit of a bugger! I'm wondering if I call qantas directly if they have a different policy?

        • piggyfund on 11/02/2016 - 09:10
          +1

          @Gomo: You can try but I doubt it - they will refer you back to your agent as you didn't book with them directly. I think ticketed means the eticket has already been issued. Depending on when you are going to save some money start changing money now as I feel our $$ will only get worse. I was there for 3 weeks in Dec and I could see the conversion rate getting worse and worse in that time period.

        • Gomo on 11/02/2016 - 09:14

          @piggyfund: Yes! I purchased a travel bank card that secured the YEN rate in :)

          In saying that look at the 1 Year Graph http://www.xe.com/currencycharts/?from=AUD&to=JPY&view=1Y

          Quantas said they couldn't do anything for me, and said to deal with the agent directly for any changes etc, oh well… might of been a different story if I booked through Qantas directly but at the time there was a $80 difference.. so I booked with BYO Jet

        • nightelves on 11/02/2016 - 10:22

          @Gomo:

          Did you pay by credit card? Your card might have price protection feature on it.

        • Gomo on 11/02/2016 - 10:26

          @nightelves: Yes paid via credit card, paid some ridiculous $30 fee for doing so.. lol I don't think I'll be able to get myself out of the current booking and re-book for better prices,

          Once fee's and cancelled fees are taken out I'll probably be worse off!

        • lainey13 on 11/02/2016 - 13:23

          Went to America last year, a week after I booked flights I found my whole itinerary (5 flights in total) for $500 less than what I paid. My parents were also in the same boat with slightly different travel dates. I called up Delta, complained a few times and managed to get our tickets resissued so got some eCredits for $400.. so only lost about $100. My parents only got credit for $71 each so they overpaid quite a bit more than I did :(

          Guaranteed Pricing Scheme: For peace of mind when you’re shopping – and to guarantee the best price – if a Platinum or Diamond Awards cardholder discovers an item advertised in a printed catalogue at a lower price, they can make a claim for the difference, so long as it’s within 21 days after purchasing with your CommBank card.

      I flew with them a few times overseas from Melbourne and have to say that despite a reasonable onboard service and pretty old seats, their flights are pretty much on time (except for a domestic flight from okinawa to osaka that got delayed for two hours) and for the price , I can afford a few more nights in better accomodation. In japan, they are precise so not good when you are late for connections.

    How much extra do you normally pay for luggage? 20kgs for return Syd-Osaka is $112 according to expedia. Is this about right?

    • [Deactivated] on 11/02/2016 - 12:07

      If you get the bundle, you get 20kgs for $90 (with food 1 way) and when I went in November, it was $90 for another 20kg from memory..

      I added a 25kg suitcase for $70 return from Melbourne - Tokyo (on Jetstar website). And you have the 7kg on board luggage. But from experience they are very strict with it … very strict … so not even a kg over.

  • Izefyre on 11/02/2016 - 11:48

    Guys when you're in Japan, just withdraw money from a 7 eleven ATM using a citibank everyday account card. No fees, best rates, sometimes even higher than market rates.

    • [Deactivated] on 11/02/2016 - 12:05

      haha, this saved my life when I was down to my last 1000 yen.

      Good suggestion !

    • piggyfund on 11/02/2016 - 14:58

      I did this and was getting the best rate as I did exchange a little in AU and got an extra 8 cents to the dollar using Citi. This bank card takes about 2 - 3 weeks to arrive so plan ahead. highly recommended. You can use it at Japan Post ATM as well.

  • Yang331 on 11/02/2016 - 11:53

    Its an extra $35 for 20kgs up to $70 for 40kgs respectively. Guys just remember this is only the fee for the flight, there's also jetstars hidden extras, such as baggage fee, booking fee and seat fee, not a huge deal extra but still would be good to know the full price of a trip up and back.

    That being said, ive got my flights booked :) 18/5 - 8/6 for $462

  • anth0888 on 11/02/2016 - 13:09

    This is such an epic deal. If your looking at this and thinking - maybe. I would just jump in and book. For the range of times available and that its a direct flight, this is really good. I was looking at visiting Uluru mid year and that alone is 450-500 return - for about 1/3 of the distance and its domestic on Jetstar. Crazy.

    Be warned!
    Japan is a very addictive substance.
    Common side effects include, but are not limited to:
    - compulsion to thoroughly clean your hands before every meal
    - wanting to remove your shoes when entering a house
    - realising how sub-standard everywhere, and everyone else in the world is
    - always choosing the made in Japan option when shopping
    - allowing people to exit the train or elevator before attempting to get in
    - developing annoyance at people for pronouncing words incorrectly, such as: sake, edamame, yakuza

    • piggyfund on 11/02/2016 - 15:00

        Karate is another frequently mispronounced word, but it didn't come to mind when I wrote the comment.

    Thanks I want that flight.

    Booked for myself, wife and unborn son in October. Trying to book a flight with a person that hasn't been born yet is like pulling teeth.

    I called up Jetstar to ask how to do it online and they kept asking for the child's birthday. I kept explaining that he hadn't been born yet…painful.

    Anyway, it'll be my first time back to Japan in 5 years. Very excited. A few days in Kagawa to visit the J-family and a week in Kyoto.

    Hisashiburi Japan.

    Now I'm holding out for a decent dealio on a flight to London from Sydney to visit my family in August.

    Would anyone let me know why I can't find the low price from Sydney?

    Damn I missed out, do you think they'll be another deal for dates in September? Or $1000 Return with Qantas is the best I'll get?
