Japan blends ancient tradition with dazzling modern life — neon-lit Tokyo, the temples of Kyoto, world-class food and the snow-capped cone of Mount Fuji. It's a bucket-list trip for many UK travellers, and comparing fares in one place makes planning the journey far simpler.
The two standout seasons are spring (late March–April) for the cherry blossom and autumn (October–November) for the vivid maple colours, both mild and beautiful. Summers are hot and humid, while winter brings excellent skiing and fewer crowds. Fares climb around the blossom season and Japan's Golden Week, so flexible dates help. Check the price charts on this page for the cheapest options.
The main gateways are Tokyo Haneda (HND) and Tokyo Narita (NRT), with Osaka Kansai (KIX) serving the Kyoto–Osaka region and Nagoya (NGO) also connected.
Japan Airlines, ANA, British Airways and Virgin Atlantic operate direct flights from London to Tokyo, with a typical flying time of around 14 hours. One-stop routes via Gulf, European or Asian hubs are also worth comparing for value on your exact dates.
Your allowance to Japan depends on the airline and the fare you book. The table below shows typical long-haul allowances so you know roughly what to expect — always confirm the exact limits with your airline before you fly.
| Fare type | Hand baggage | Checked baggage |
|---|---|---|
| Basic / Light economy | 1 small under-seat bag | Usually none — add for a fee |
| Standard economy | 1 cabin bag + 1 personal item | Typically 1 × 23 kg |
| Premium economy | 1–2 cabin bags + personal item | Typically 2 × 23 kg |
| Business / First | 2 cabin bags + personal item | Typically 2 × 32 kg |
