Los Angeles to Tokyo is the cheapest way across the Pacific from the West Coast, and at $227 the current fare proves it. The flight runs about eleven and a half hours. ZIPAIR, Japan Airlines, ANA and Singapore Airlines all compete here, and the budget carrier options keep the floor low.
The cheapest months are January and February. As with any Tokyo route, steer clear of cherry-blossom season in late March and early April and the Golden Week holiday in early May, when demand spikes and fares double. Autumn brings good weather and softer prices.
Check whether your flight lands at Narita or Haneda before booking. Haneda is far closer to the city and worth a little extra. If you are already crossing the Pacific, Seoul is a cheap two-hour add-on. The Tokyo city guide covers the basics; pair it with Seoul to stretch the trip.
