Travel in Japan: 3. Flight

is one of the sore points of the trip to Japan: the flight! I calculated that nearly half the entire budget of the trip is spent to buy the flight round trip from Italy to Japan ... (

Anyway, we purchased a flight + additional services in these days, using one of the latest offers available in the network provided by British Airways.

In detail, the website www.ba.com British Aiways we found one of the more attractive prices at 295 + each way airport charges. The only drawback to this is that we will have a stopover in London (Heathrow Airport). As for payment, we supported a travel agent ( www.ventur.it ), we have also added some insurance that allows us to stay calm area in Japan, so we bought insurance cancellation (80 € in two) and another insurance that covers medical expenses up to 30,000 € (113 € more and cost for both).

recap:

1. Flight Rome - Tokyo (via London) round trip for two people;
2. Cancellation insurance (for two tickets);
3. Medical insurance up to € 30,000;

Total: 1,830 € for two people.

+ Alternative economic ...
In fact we tried to find the solution that is economical but also comfortable enough that would allow us to make a safe and quiet.
Indeed there was a way to make the cost even less, how?
1) Buying a cheaper flight: between the companies had reliable seen Finnair ( www.finnair.com ), whose flights are cheaper by about € 150/200, but the flights will leave only three times a week ( British Instead Airways has daily departures) and calling at Helsinki, but the biggest problem is the time between a flight and another is too short (only 45 minutes return flight).
2) do not buy insurance on the cancellation of the flight (you save € 80);
3) not acuiqstando medical insurance: save about 113 euro per couple. However it does not seem a suitable choice whereas in Japan the hospital costs are very high ... Alternatively, there are cheaper insurance: there is another 20 euro per person but will cover up to 5,000 euro spent ... with this insurance save another € 90.

short, if you want to keep costs to a minimum, I think you could get away with € 1,500 per couple, but remember that you must book your flights at least 2 / 3 months before! :)

Other possibilities:
If you are young - up to 25 years - remember that there are special rates for you! www.jalpak.com offers flights to 700 € departure from Rome.
Finally, if you do not want to make stops in other European cities, the companies that do direct flights from Italy (Rome and Milan) in Japan are Alitalia, JAL (Japan Airlines) and ANA (All Nippon Airlines).
