Cheap flights from New York to Tokyo

New York to Tokyo is a long one, around fourteen hours nonstop, and at $405 the current fare is low for the distance. One thing to check before you book: Narita or Haneda. Narita is the older airport an hour east of the city; Haneda sits much closer in and is worth a small premium for the shorter transfer, especially if you land late.

Tokyo has clear cheap and expensive seasons. Late January and February are the quietest and cheapest. The two windows to avoid are cherry-blossom season in late March and early April, when everyone wants to come, and Golden Week in early May, when the whole country travels at once. Autumn is a quieter, cheaper alternative with good weather.

If you are flying this far, consider adding Seoul, a cheap two-hour hop from Tokyo that makes the long-haul cost go further. The Tokyo city guide is the place to start; pair it with Seoul for a two-country trip.
