Flying to Tokyo rewards the organised traveller. Book eight to twelve weeks out for the best fares, and avoid cherry blossom season (late March to early April) unless you enjoy paying peak prices for a crowded Shinjuku Gyoen. The city suits first-timers and repeat visitors equally: there is always another neighbourhood, another bowl of ramen, another train line you have not taken yet.

What works well

  • World-class airport
  • Excellent BNPL cover
  • Unmatched food scene

What to watch

  • Book early April
  • Pricey in peak season
February is the quiet month, USD 310 from Singapore and a lull before the cherry blossoms start driving prices up. Haneda alone makes the trip worthwhile, fourteen kilometres from Shinjuku and efficient enough that you'll clear immigration before you've finished complaining about the flight. Klarna and Afterpay both work here, which matters when the izakaya evenings start adding up. This is a mid-range city dressed as a bargain, and it's fine with that.

When to Book Flights to Tokyo

January and February offer the lowest fares to Tokyo, with demand dipping after the New Year rush and before cherry blossom season ignites in late March. Avoid booking for late March through early May without a long lead time: Golden Week alone can push fares up 50 percent or more above the annual average.

Arrival guide

What to Know About Tokyo's Airports

Tokyo Haneda International Airport, IATA HND · 14 km from Shinjuku · 16 km from Tokyo Station.

Haneda is Tokyo's closer, faster, and frankly better airport for most international travellers. Terminal 3 handles the bulk of international services, with ANA and Japan Airlines dominating the gates. Immigration is efficient and the airport's retail floor is a legitimate destination in itself.

TransportCost (approx)Duration
Tokyo MonorailJPY 50013 min to Hamamatsucho Station
Keikyu Line trainJPY 330-62020-30 min to Shinjuku or Shinagawa
Airport limousine busJPY 1,000-1,40035-55 min to major hotels

Narita International Airport

Narita International Airport, IATA NRT · 60 km from Tokyo Station · 70 km from Shinjuku.

Narita handles a large share of long-haul and low-cost international services, including Jetstar, Scoot, and several North American carriers. It is farther from central Tokyo than most first-timers expect, so factor in the extra travel time and cost. Terminals 1 and 2 are connected by a free shuttle; Terminal 3 is a short walk.

TransportCost (approx)Duration
Narita Express (N'EX)JPY 3,07053 min to Shinjuku
Keisei SkylinerJPY 2,57041 min to Ueno
Airport limousine busJPY 1,300-3,20060-90 min to central Tokyo (traffic dependent)

Check-in tips

  • Check in online 24 hours ahead, since HND gates close 20 minutes before departure.
  • Carry a Suica or Pasmo card for all train connections from both airports.
  • Narita Terminal 3 is low-cost only; confirm your terminal before leaving for the airport.

Splitting the extras

  1. At Laters.com checkout you can split seat upgrades, lounge access passes, and extra baggage allowances across your instalment plan, which is useful for the long-haul legs into Narita or the premium cabin options on ANA and JAL.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions about Flights to Tokyo

Everything you need to know before booking your Tokyo flight on Laters.

Which airlines fly direct to Tokyo from major international hubs?

ANA and Japan Airlines operate the most extensive direct networks into Tokyo Haneda and Narita, covering routes from Singapore, London, Los Angeles, Sydney, Seoul, and Hong Kong among others. Singapore Airlines, Cathay Pacific, Korean Air, and Qantas also run regular non-stop services. You can compare all available direct and connecting options on Laters.com.

What is the cheapest month to fly to Tokyo?

February is typically the cheapest month to fly to Tokyo, with average one-way fares from major Asian hubs starting around USD 310. Demand drops sharply after the New Year holiday period and before cherry blossom season begins in late March. Booking six to eight weeks ahead in January or February generally locks in the best prices.

Can I pay for flights to Tokyo in instalments on Laters.com?

Yes. Laters.com supports multiple BNPL providers at checkout, including Atome (Southeast Asia), Klarna (Europe and Australia), and Afterpay (Australia, New Zealand, UK, US). Select your preferred provider at checkout, get instant approval, and your e-ticket is issued immediately. You repay in three or four instalments depending on the provider.

Does using BNPL for flights affect my credit score?

Most BNPL providers on Laters.com use a soft credit check for approval, which does not affect your credit score. However, terms vary by provider. Atome does not typically require a formal credit check at all. Check the specific provider's terms at checkout for full details.

Do I need a visa to visit Japan?

Japan offers visa-free entry for passport holders from most Western countries, including the UK, EU member states, Australia, New Zealand, the US, and Canada, typically for stays up to 90 days. Citizens of some Southeast Asian countries also qualify for visa-free or visa-on-arrival entry. Always verify the latest requirements with Japan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs or your country's official travel advisory before booking.

Which airport serves Tokyo and how do I get to the city centre?

Tokyo is served by two airports: Haneda (HND), around 14 km from central Tokyo, and Narita (NRT), roughly 60 km away. From Haneda, the Tokyo Monorail reaches Hamamatsucho in about 13 minutes for JPY 500. From Narita, the Narita Express (N'EX) gets you to Shinjuku in 53 minutes for JPY 3,070, while the Keisei Skyliner reaches Ueno in 41 minutes for JPY 2,570.

What is the best time of year to visit Tokyo?

Spring (late March to early April) is spectacular for cherry blossoms but also the most crowded and expensive period. Autumn (October to November) offers cooler temperatures, vivid foliage, and lower fares than spring. May is widely considered the sweet spot: pleasant weather, post-Golden Week price dips, and manageable crowds.

How long is the flight to Tokyo from Sydney?

Direct flights from Sydney to Tokyo Haneda or Narita take approximately 9 hours 45 minutes. Qantas, ANA, and Japan Airlines all operate non-stop services on this route. Connecting flights via Singapore, Hong Kong, or Manila are also available and can sometimes offer lower fares with a short layover.

When will I receive my e-ticket after booking on Laters.com?

Your e-ticket is issued immediately after your Laters.com booking is confirmed, regardless of which payment method you use. BNPL approval is instant, so there is no delay between choosing to pay in instalments and receiving your booking confirmation. Check your spam folder if the email does not arrive within a few minutes.

Are there any hidden fees when booking Tokyo flights on Laters.com?

Laters.com displays the full fare including taxes and carrier surcharges before you confirm your booking. Optional extras such as seat selection, extra baggage, and travel insurance are shown separately so you can choose exactly what you need. There are no booking fees added by Laters.com on top of the fare shown.

Can I pay for Japan flights with Paidy?

Not yet. Paidy is a Japan-only payment method, and we're still working on bringing it to Laters.com. See our Paidy payment page for eligibility and terms.
