Hi, I'm looking to buy tickets to Japan for around the late may to early June period (24th - 6th?).
Just wondering if it would be better to just purchase the JAL airlines option right now ($1035) or wait for Boxing Day for a hopeful Jetstar deal.
It would be awesome to hear your inputs.
Thank you!
I paid $430 for my return tickets from bris to narita in may with Jetstar.
Post again on Dec 27th and let us know how you went
We paid about the same for Qantas for late October so I think thats not a bad deal for a full service ticket.
I'd just book the tickets. You will miss out on deals along the way that are better, but that's just how flight specials to Japan are. $1000 return is not bad and books it in so you can start planning rather than stressing about saving a few hundred bucks.
You won't regret or remember that you spent the extra money on flights, you'll just remember how great the trip was (hopefully at least) when looking back.
JAL is better than Jetstar any day of the week and more reliable. Pull trigger.
Eh just do it, JAL is awesome.
A smidge over $1k for JAL's excellent economy product is a bargain IMO.
I'd only choose Jetstar if you're flying out of Brisbane or Cairns and it's a question non-stop on Jetstar vs one stop on anyone else.
