I like this site: https://matrix.itasoftware.com/
It shows you all the airlines that operate flights between your selected cities and allows you to compare prices, times, aircraft types, layovers. All fairly well laid out. You cannot purchase tickets directly through the site, you will need to go to the airlines own site to book it. It also offers an easy way to send the "fare construction" to your travel agent if you use one.
​
I would recommend caution f buying from "cheap online resellers" for flights, especially international flights. I recommend booking directly with the airlines. If anything goes wrong with your booking at any time, if you book with a third party (discount online booking place that you found a great deal through) then you will have to get ahold of them to fix the issue. If you book directly with the airline, you only have to deal with the airline which makes life easier.
Many cheap flights and packages are found online, however the low price you see is usually only for a selected flight, usually with horrible timings and bad connections. If your flight is important, book direct with the airline. if you dont really care about your trip, sure, book online.
It really depends on a whole bunch of market factors. It could have been cheaper then, but as the number of sold seats changed, it suddenly wasn't. For 90% of tickets, the normal search tools like Kayak and Google do an excellent job.
You can force connections in certain cities on Google Flights by using the "more" dropdown and choosing cities.
Why are they so reluctant to hold out for a better fare? $1200 a person is highway robbery when you can book directly with a full service airline and easily get $700-900 a person fares if you have a teeny bit of flexibility with dates. I can understand not wanting to book via a third party (changes/cancellations/service issues become much harder to resolve on those kinds of tickets) or with budget carriers (baggage charges, etc.), but while that will make it hard to snag $450 peak-season fares, they shouldn't be paying $1200 either. Like, I just flew in and out of Madrid nonstop from EWR for ~$600 roundtrip. Not a stellar deal or anything, but definitely a different ballpark from the crazy fares they're considering.
What if you sat down with them and showed them Google Flights's fare calendars? Like, look, you can do Newark to Naples for $624 roundtrip on United..
Philadelphia to Palm Springs 06/12-13/12 £221 per person ($283).
What dates are you flying. People on /r/travel and /r/flights never ever seem to put dates for some reason.
Okay, here's where ITA Matrix comes in handy. Its advanced search fields let you narrow things down, including by connection airport and by connection time.
Europe, 1 stop: IKA-FCO-MEX, MEX-AMS-IKA. 3h40 connection on the outbound, 2h40 connection on the inbound. 1975 EUR pp.
Europe, 2 stops: IKA-VIE-FRA-MEX-MUC-VIE-IKA. 3h10 and 2h50 connection in VIE and FRA, 2h10 and 1h25 on the way back. 1649 EUR pp.
Don't go through Europe: IKA-DXB-GRU-MEX and reverse (with an overnight in GRU on the outbound). 1337 EUR pp.
How to search:
Go to ITA Matrix.
From:
IKA, To:MEX, MTY, GDL, TIJ(I chose the four intl airports in the north and central).Click advanced controls.
Outbound routing codes:
~iah,lax,jfk,mia,iad,atl,mco,ord,sfo,dfw,bos,ewr,fll(no USA airports). The number of times you repeat that string is the number of connections you'll allow (1 = once, 2 = twice, etc). To generalize, the~means "don't connect" at the list of airport codes after it.Outbound extension codes:
minconnect 1:00; maxconnect 6:00.Put same routing and extension codes in the inbound.
"See calendar of lowest fares", departing: "07/07/2018", length of stay: "30-36" (to allow for +/- 3 days around the 10th).
To avoid Europe, just add major European hubs onto that long list of routing codes (I think I used ~FRA,VIE,MUC,LHR,CDG,AMS,FCO,ATH as my list). When you add the Europe restriction, you can remove the maxconnect restriction.
> is it possible I can book the flight to curitiba or do I need to have a seperate ticket from the São Paulo to Curitiba?
Well, have you looked? I don't see why not. It's not that hard to do a quick search.
> He is trying to fly out in 10 days or max by the end of this month.
Is he ready to pay $$$$$$?
I don't get what's so hard:
Why don't you just try and search....... USA is big by the way. NYC? LA? Middle of nowhere Iowa?
You also didn't say when.
Please try to follow the rules in the sidebar, #2, #5, #7.

ok, if you have to fly the biggest thing you can do (in my opinion) is wear decent PPE.
The class you sit in wont make a difference if someone is on that flight with COVID. Too much research suggests COVID is actually spread via aerosol particulates not just droplets.
You need disposable gloves, protective glasses, and a particulate respirator.
Yeah a friend of mine didn't drink enough on a plane and when she was at her hotel after her flight she passed out after peeing, hitting her head on the toilet and bleeding all over the bathroom. Her doctor later told her it was because she was dehydrated.
It all depends on what you consider "fairly priced"...
If it's one way and you don't need to check bags, here's a flight for $439.50/person with a 6h stop in Toronto where you'd just throw away the return leg
​
You can enter the departure airport and click into More Destinations after clicking into the "where to?" bar. Then you get a map of anywhere in the world and how much it costs. Zoom out and go international!
​
Assuming you can get to Indy somewhat easily, here is an example search for you for a flexible date 1 week trip in July.
​
Hope this helps.
You might consider flying to Moscow then taking a bus to Tallinn. You're not going to find a flight unless you can magically come up with $200USD more (or $100 USD more if you stay another week). Also I really hope you meant One-Way because its impossible Round Trip.
> I can't book a round trip ticket because I have different arrival/depart cities (arrive AMS, depart HEL).
That's called an open jaw.
You can search for these using any search engine's multi-city function.
Here's an example: https://www.google.com/flights/?f=0#search;iti=DFW,DAL_AMS,ZYA_2018-07-07*HEL_DFW,DAL_2018-08-25;tt=m
But sites like expedia, skyscanner, momondo, can all do this.
But why bother with CDG or AMS when you can do BRU and HEL open jaw?
It's roughly the same price, probably: https://www.google.com/flights/?f=0#search;iti=DFW,DAL_BRU,CRL,ZYR_2018-07-07*HEL_DFW,DAL_2018-08-25;tt=m
Found them without trouble.
Note that a direct flight and a nonstop flight are not the same thing. In the link I provided, the outbound flight is nonstop (and direct), while the return flight is not nonstop (but still direct).
There probably are no nonstop flights from Addis Ababa to Toronto. The high altitude of Addis Ababa makes it too difficult, or at least too expensive, to fly to Toronto nonstop. So they stop in Dublin to refuel.
If you can get yourself to Cairo, flights are notoriously cheap out of there.
For instance, I'm seeing $292 on Ethiopian and $369 on Emirates.
1180 for the Austin Traveler ($100 cheaper if you leave a day later going)
$928 for the Chicago Traveler
Just use Google Flights for your searches. Your trip is so simple (domestic US, round-trip), there's not a lot to be had for trying to spend hours doing research for slightly cheaper flights.
Yes, you can find online empty bottle kits exactly with this scope. Just be sure to be within the 100ml/1l rule. And, in general, it is also a good way to pack light.
Multi-city booking, if you do the whole trip on a European airline like KLM or Air France this should barely add any cost.
Google Flights is pretty good for this.
If your dates are flexible, you can check the calendars to see if it will save you any money to adjust your departure/arrival.
Seems to be a connection in korea

Ok then yeah, 1300 is a decent price for what you're looking for. Seems to be still slightly cheaper out of Newark. Several options
​
You can also use google flights by leaving the destination field blank and playing around with your requirements.
Example - destinations that are greyed out are the ones that are filtered out by whatever limits you set
I am with you. https://www.google.com/flights/#flt=NRT./m/0dqyw.2018-06-29;c:CLP;e:1;s:0;sd:1;t:f;tt:o While there are some options to Osaka, the option doesn't seem to be very time efficient, since he anyways should leave: time for immigration, time for possible delays, time to check luggage (unless airlines has some agreement, but since most of the options are on low cost options..). Also he has to add the time from Osaka's airports to the city.
Meanwhile, if he lands in Haneda, going to Shinagawa or Shin-Yokohama station to take the Shinkansen seems easier in any case, while from Narita it would take 1 hour + 2.5 hours in Shinkansen isn't too different from taking the plane but with less risk
I only would go with the plane option if OP finds a very cheap ticket
How much are you trying to pay?
This is basically a free stopover, in fact it is way cheaper to stopover in China.: https://www.google.com/flights/?f=0#f=0&flt=/m/02_286./m/07dfk.2018-09-06.EWRNRT0UA79*/m/07dfk.PEK.2018-09-14.HNDPEK0NH963*PEK./m/02_286.2018-09-16.PEKEWR0UA88;c:USD;e:1;sd:1;t:f;tt:m;sp:.USD.122671*.USD.122671*.USD.122671

> Is Norwegian not a great airline?
They are a low-cost airline. As you already noticed, if you want luggage you have to pay extra or pay for a fare that includes luggage. Full-service airlines would have luggage included for a transatlantic flight.
You'd also have to pay extra for food on a flight, something you wouldn't have to do on a full-service airline. Seats on Norwegian are also generally smaller than those on full-service airlines.
People fly Norwegian because it's cheaper than other options, and they may not care about the frills. But when they're the same price as full-service airlines, there's no reason to go with them.
Air France shows up on a Google Flights search on your dates.
You can use the map. Then set a price filter. Then look at what red dots are remaining and see lower and lower filters till you got your cheapest destination.
Here's an example: https://www.google.com/flights/?hl=en_US#search;f=SFO;d=2017-11-04;r=2017-11-08;a=DL;mp=250;mc=m
As of writing this there's SFO to LAX on Delta for $105, Seattle for $175
Depends. Where are you departing from? Some metro areas like New York City and Tokyo have their own three digit codes. NYC for New York City (home to JFK, EWR and LGA) and TYO for Tokyo (HND and NRT).
Matrix has the ability to search nearby airports too. It's a powerful consumer level tool. https://matrix.itasoftware.com
Sorry yes, that is USD. I forgot to consider that aspect of it. So it's 1458 AUD. Maybe I didn't find you a deal after all. Try tinkering with the dates on Google Flights. You might stumble across a deal. Also see if your friend can fly out of Dallas. Flights to Melbourne appear cheaper when I looked. Or maybe leaving from Dallas and returning to Houston.
Leave Thanksgiving day return Feb 28 is just under $1150. Just make sure they have a passport and they can stay up to 3 months in Australia.
I've found Philly to Copenhagen RT flights for $398! Add on a round-trip Copenhagen to Brussels trip for $43 with Ryanair! It is a huge savings from the offered $640-660 round-trip flights that are currently offered. Budget airlines like Ryanair will up-charge everything so pack light or pay a little more for your baggage!
Another option is to fly out of DC. (Edit: Note that it's $768 on Skybooker.) It's closer, and you can get there for $10 round-trip on Megabus. Direct overnight bus of only 9 hours each way.
You can filter using the explore map too. Just select the alliance first then change the URL code after the a= to the airline codes you want. E.g. DL for delta https://www.google.com/flights/?hl=en_US#search;f=JFK,EWR,LGA;d=2017-03-04;r=2017-03-08;a=DL;mc=e
Unfortunately, Aer Lingus' website is down right now. But there is zero chance that Aer Lingus only lets you book itineraries that begin or end in Dublin. That's not how airlines work. You're doing something wrong there.
That being said, EL 6528 is something called a codeshare. Aer Lingus does not operate a flight from Des Moines to Chicago (or any U.S. domestic flights for that matter; they probably don't even have authorization to). That flight is operated by United (as UA 426), but has an Aer Lingus codeshare. If Aer Lingus's website weren't down right now, I'd be able to take a look at booking the flight (I'll come back in the bit to update this), but it's possible that you might not be able to put DSM as an origin at all – since, again, Aer Lingus doesn't even fly there.
You can, however, book this set of flights on United – for $1200. Not sure if that's the fare you're seeing, but that's way too much, man. That's more than a round-trip to Barcelona for a lot of Americans.
If you could make your way to O'Hare some other way, you could go from Chicago to Dublin (on a later, 8 p.m., flight) for $733. Take the bus or a train. Even booking a separate early morning flight would be cheaper. You may want to consider that.
If you go from https://www.google.com/flights/, the home page, after you enter in your Start and End locations and your travel dates, you'll see your results below.
Right between the BLUE BOX that says "Choose and Outbound Flight" and the "Best Flights" box, there should be a box that says "Show flexible dates" which should be clickable.
Once you click on that, you should see your flexible date options there, including the bar graph.
You can use kiwi.com just to find the cheap routes but not use kiwi to buy the tickets (don't buy your tickets through kiwi)
like this https://www.kiwi.com/en/search/results/united-states/paris-france just input some dates and see what it says
There is no easy way that you would be able to get that flight refunded. You could try to plead your case to the airline but it most likely will not work.
I recommend in the future to purchase through Kiwi.com they provide insurance for those connections built into the price of booking with them.
That's helpful to know. Kiwi claims to insure you against flight delays and cancellations, it's probably easiest to see from the source https://www.kiwi.com/us/pages/guarantee . It's difficult to tell how good of a guarantee this is in practice considering what I've read
The appended "MR" and "MRS" is just something that airlines tend to do, no worries there.
Your middle name does not matter. I have booked many international flights without my middle name since I don't really use it. This discussion contains many reports of other experienced travellers who have never needed it.
As others have suggested, try to get them into the same bag. I've sued suit bags like this in the past that did the trick:
https://www.amazon.com.au/Eagle-Creek-Original-Garment-Sleeve/dp/B07C8J4XLS
I note you're in Sydney, if you need something like the linked item PM me.
I use luggage straps for this exact purpose. I don't care about strange looks from others, as long as I'm comfortable. My wife saw me do it on my last flight. We both had Isle seats in the same row, so I was next to a stranger. She thought it was odd when I explained it to her, and even more so when the person next to her asked her what I was doing! LOL That's what made me Google it to see if I was the only person with this "odd" idea (I doubted it!), and I landed here on this post.
> what is something that should actually be cause for worry?
The car ride to/from the airport. That will be the most dangerous part of your trip.
Pick up this book.
I think maybe an N95/KN95 combined with some quality safety goggles with foam gaskets that limited air flow around your eyes might work. Some transmission of cold/flu/covid does happen through eyes. Some of these goggles look mostly like sunglasses, so I don't think anyone would hassle you for wearing them. They're rather inexpensive. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AEY4NPK/
Full Face Cover, Organic Vapor Gas Cover P 6800 with 2091 P 100 Filter, Wide Field of View Lightweight, Widely Used in Protection, Painting, Machine Polishing, Welding and Other Work Protection https://www.amazon.com/dp/B091KKFGQ3/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_KS2XEJ0RPN1YM3K53SFQ
Years ago, I was checking the price with the point of sale of the departure country, and the one of the destination country, and could notice differences. Usually cheaper if bought from the destination country. But it seems prices are now similar. At least it is my observation.
But the best tool to check prices with different POS is ITA Matrix.
It doesn't. Here is the link if I'm allowed to post it here:
You check your bags in LAX all the way through. You only have to collect bags and transfer when arriving in the USA internationally.
These are technically for stretching, but they could serve you well https://www.amazon.com/Te-Rich-Resistance-Exercise-Non-Slip-Training/dp/B07XZ1ZKK7/?th=1
Try this link. It can make flights by Norwegian Airlines even cheaper.
https://www.couponchief.com/coupons/use_it/3350320/0/0?afsrc=1
Also worth looking through this list:
Munich-Singapore-Perth, one stop.
https://www.google.com/flights?hl=en#flt=MUC.PER.2020-08-28;c:EUR;e:1;sd:1;t:f;tt:o
Problem is, you may find that the cheapest fares require a LONG layover at Singapore, which isn't a problem connecting through Doha.
Alternatively, if you're dead set on avoiding the Middle East, I would suggest taking the train to either Frankfurt or Zurich and flying from there.
I see your worry is that a busy airport is likely to be a source of COVID infection, and all I can offer there is that Singapore Changi is a comparably busy airport to Doha or Dubai, with flights arriving from all parts of the globe.
...also, when I got COVID in March, I'm 90% sure that I picked it up on a flight from Munich to Toronto. But that was months ago, and the whole aviation world has gotten massively better at preventing and reducing transmission since then.
Your flights - $1099, all Delta metal and it's all in Comfort+.
Unfortunately, all of the flights from the US to MAN or EDI seem to be overnight and with the 7-9 hr flight time, arriving early in the morning seems to be inescapable. That being said: If you want to arrive in London (LHR), there are some flights that leave in the morning, and arrive at night (you could spend the night in London and take the train in the morning) so consider the hotel the night after you fly transcontinental rather than the night before.
Consider ditching the checked-in suitcase in favor of a carry-on unless you want a full baggage carousel experience. You can get these (compression bags) [https://www.amazon.com/Hibag-Compression-12-Pack-Suitcase-12-Travel/dp/B07PLHBVZQ] to fit more stuff in the carry-on. You can place it in the overhead compartment and still bring a personal item (laptop bag, backpack) with you.
I don't know what you are looking at, but its only 851 roundtrip to London.
I'm seeing loads of flights ~$1600, less if you are flexible on dates.

You could fly to NYC and then fly to Cebu city on a separate ticket for around 2000.
You can change the dates, but it is 252 roundtrip to tampa and 283 roundtrip to PBI (in usd).
It's not hard to find these fares. See the guide to airfare search engines in the sidebar.
Also, airfares are always quoted with taxes included.
Just to be clear, I do not suggest this at all, but if you are really wanting the cheapest flight I found two one way flights from around 470 CAD roundtrip.
Here you go mate:
All possible destinations roundtrip Oct 10 - Oct 14 for under $550 from Rochester. Notable destinations: Los Angeles (1 stop Chicago), Orlando (1 stop Philly), Seattle (1 stop Philly or Chicago), among others. Move the map around and see what interests you, or adjust the dates as needed and see what frees up.
If you're wanting a direct flight, i think your options are ORD/PHL/CLT/DCA/BOS...soo..
This is an example of a multi city search on Google Flights. Of course you could change the dates & departing airports (remember to change it twice -- once for your departure and another time for your arrival)
Before looking at airfares be aware most airfares jump when you are within 2 weeks. Leaving by 5 August could have this problem. Leaving on 7 August (and booking today) will be the cheapest.
The cheapest right now is departing 7 August returning 14 September. This will be $901 CAD round trip with direct flights from Calgary to London on Air Transat. This includes the first checked bag for free in the Eco Standard Group. A second checked back will cost $100 each way.
Your best bet will then be Delta leaving at 06:59 on the 17th and returning at 06:15 on the 24th. For Basic Economy with 1 checked bag each will be $299 each and no guarantee of sitting together. Looking at both nonstop flights there are limited seats left so the chance of all sitting together is slim. To pick your seats sitting together will be $369 each.
If you are willing to lose the CLT-LAX nonstop qualifier this should be a pretty easy ticket to book: https://www.google.com/flights#flt=SYD.DTW.2019-10-03.SYDLAX0DL40~LAXDTW0DL2781*DTW.CLT.2019-10-10.DTWCLT0DL406*CLT.LAX.2019-10-17.CLTDTW0DL508~DTWLAX0DL2911*LAX.SYD.2019-10-24.LAXSYD0DL41;c:USD;e:1;sc:p;sd:1;t:b;tt:m;sp:2.USD.253226*2.USD.236318*...
This flight would be cheapest, but this would be the easiest.(Like what the other commenter said)
From NYC to Amsterdam/Hamburg and Manchester to Nyc its only around 450, and from western pa/east ohio its only around 130 roundtrip to nyc. So if you were willing to have a long connection in NYC it would be cheaper.
There are a bunch with 4-8 hr layovers if you are ok with that (leave the 8th pm, arrive the 9th pm)
https://www.google.com/flights#flt=/m/02_286./m/0156q.2019-07-08;c:USD;e:1;sd:1;t:f;tt:o
Wow! Nice find!
Unfortunately that's far from what I find for the actual dates: https://www.google.com/flights#flt=/m/0zc6.IAD.2019-04-07*IAD./m/0zc6.2019-04-12;c:USD;e:1;sc:b;sd:1;t:f&spf=1552849063737
Is there a way to check the price of business only for the transatlantic connection, and leave the others in economy?
Interestingly, I find it cheaper to fly from Alicante than from Madrid. Significantly so. From Alicante, you can fly SAS in business class the entire trip, but you do have a long layover on one stop. But the whole round trip can be as low as $1998. That's exceptional. You can play with the dates and look at the various options: https://www.google.com/flights#flt=/m/0zc6.IAD.2019-04-14*IAD./m/0zc6.2019-04-21;c:USD;e:1;sc:b;sd:1;t:f
Google Flights query from (JFK or EWR or LGA) to DEN with return flight after 12PM
At the risk of insulting your intelligence on the true awesomeness of Google Flights, I created the query above, obviously feel free to alter, IIRC it works best, or is at least much easier from desktop. I would just monitor it, once you click on it, there should be a Track Prices toggle switch that you can click (when logged in to Google) which will take note of the prices daily AND send changes in prices to your gmail address whenever they happen.
You're nowhere near too late to get the best price(s) that'll be available until June 7. Once you're in the 1 month window, that's when it gets dicey.
​
Good luck!
Why not book with Expedia? AT least it's a little more well-known and most people have never had issues with Expedia issuing the ticket (only in customer service, if you need like a flight change or cancellation). But if you're sure you're flying this anyways, expedia/flighthub cusomter service doesn't matter.
$534 roundtrip to Milan, and you could probably find some very cheap flight from Milan to Amsterdam
I don't think anyone can tell you definitively if the price will drop again. However, one thing that impacts flight price a lot is the day of the week. Certain airlines only fly certain days of the week. For example, it looks like Monday's are a bit cheaper to travel on this route.. so if you can leave on the 22nd (in the morning or at night), you can be under budget.

Maybe you could go to Santiago. I found a flight for $600 that gets you back on the sunday with a day in Barcelona.

You could just do a quick search now and narrow down your options. It's unlikely airlines would ever change some of their most popular routes to Europe.

Buy a ticket LAX-LHR for $456 round trip (nonstop on British Airways):
https://www.google.com/flights#flt=LAX./m/04jpl.2019-08-11.LAXLHR0AA108*/m/04jpl.LAX.2019-08-25.LHRLAX0BA269;c:GBP;e:1;s:2*2;sd:1;t:f;sp:2.GBP.35270*2.GBP.35270
Then buy a separate trip LHR- Bucharest for $240 rountrip, also on British Airways

Total cost =~700 USD -since both are same airline you can call BA and have them link your two bookings together and they will heck your luggage all the way through to Bucharest so you don't have to collect in London.
I’m seeing euro wings $286 on the 24th. One way from TXL to Newark. https://www.google.com/flights/#flt=/m/0156q./m/02_286.2019-02-24.TXLDUS0EW8040~DUSEWR0EW1112;c:USD;e:1;sd:1;t:f;tt:o;sp:2.USD.28553
XL Airways is fine but very cramped, plus they don't have many planes so if there's a maintenance or weather issue you're pretty out of luck. They also have the low cost carrier model so you'll be paying for extras.
Honestly for those prices, I'd just do something like grab a cheap round trip to Brussels ($481 on BA/Iberia from Miami, $450 on Brussels Airlines from JFK). Arrive in Brussels, get breakfast, take the train down to Paris. 49 EUR in advance + 1.5 hours if you book ahead of time, plus you avoid the uncertainty of dealing with lesser known airlines.
Not bad for that time of year, it is "high season" in PSP. Cheapest I found on GF is an $1158 that has United Basic Economy on the outbound, and American Basic Economy on the return.
That's seems reasonable enough. The cheapest ticket you can get for your dates (not using Kiwi or another third party) is $1,817. That flight is using Star Alliance and has a few layovers and isn't out of Dulles (Reagan instead). $2,777 is the cheapest flight if you want to use a mixture of SkyTeam and OneWorld (also not through a third party). I am assuming you're after economy class fares. ;)
I don't recall how the Republic of Ireland works - given that it's not part of the Schengen but still part of the EU, that if you transit through Amsterdam, whether you still need to clear EEA/Schengen immigration (passport control). I think you would do it in Amsterdam.
There are some options to connect in AMS or DUB it seems. Just follow the instructions in Google flights. You should be able to replicate the itinerary on a third party like Orbitz or Expedia
I think your cheapest bet is to fly into Rome from MIA on American, Iberia, or British Airways. They all have flights under US$400 (Apr. 2-11).
US$375 MIA-FCO on American, for example.
And then you can train or fly to Milan. It's roughly ~US$100 round trip on Alitalia; example here. They have flights almost every hour for the same price so there's some flexibility. It's also only an hour flight so that's nice.
In total, the round trip price would be ~US$480.
You didn't say you wanted no layovers, so I'm not sure why you're introducing that stipulation now. Sounds like all of your options actually do have layovers considering you're talking upthread about flying Korean Air.
Edit: And the $850 is, by the way, nonstop both directions.
Alternate suggestion:
What about this flight? Similar dates, on Alaska/Singapore, for $732. The price is sort of in-between and it’s on a great airline!
It actually might be worth it for you to piece the trip together yourself. I've answered a similar question here somewhere on the forum and it was another user wanting to find cheap flights from Texas to Tokyo. Over $1000 is expensive but not out of this world for Florida.
Flights to Japan are usually the cheapest from LAX for one of the New York airports. So what you can do is to buy a roundtrip flight from New York to Tokyo for $450!. Then a seperate roundtrip flight from Miami/FLL (or wherever the biggest airport near you is in Florida) for like $100!
There you go, rountrip to Japan for under $600. You might have to have 2 stopovers each way but then the savings is $400 and you can turn them into side trips! Hope that helps!
Ok so I have good news and bad news. Bad news: DFW and OKC are bad place to fly to Asia. Most frequent carrier for that route does not go through the city. Good news: You can piece a trip together really easily. So far the cheapest place I've seen to fly to Tokyo is LAX. Like this one: https://www.google.com/flights/?f=0&gl=us&hl=en_US#search;f=LAX;t=HND,NRT,23K;d=2018-03-13;r=2018-03-20;a=-NK ANA is a 5 star airline and it's $433 for non-stop. That's a real steal! And I did a quick search, OKC/DFW roundtrip to LAX you can get roundtrip for little over $100. Play around with GoogleFlight price calendar to find dates that work for you.
So there you go, under $600 trip to Tokyo with a nice side trip to LA. :) I would recommend you to book the LAX-TYO leg soon as that price will probablly not get cheaper. You could wait bit more for the DFW-LAX leg but try to book it 2 months before your trip.
