Cheap flights from Katowice to Tokyo

January is the cheapest month on this route, and fares are listed for every month from September through August, so you can compare before you commit. Winter departures from Katowice get quieter once the New Year rush is over, while spring and summer fill up with holiday travel and cost more. Midweek departures usually undercut weekend ones. Book well ahead for the busy months, and leave extra slack if you are flying around the New Year or Japan's spring holiday weeks.

Every carrier on this route is a full-service airline, so there is no low-cost option to weigh against them: LOT Polish Airlines, Qatar Airways, Turkish Airlines, All Nippon Airways, Air Dolomiti, Lufthansa, Austrian, Scandinavian Airlines, American Airlines and Air France all sell seats here. A direct flight exists on the route, but most itineraries connect once, usually through the airline's own hub, which is why total travel time varies so much between offers. What is included differs by fare family rather than by airline, and the lighter tickets often leave out checked baggage and seat selection, so compare the full price with a bag added.

Tokyo has two airports and your ticket will name one of them: Tokyo Intl (Haneda) or Narita Intl. Haneda sits close to the city, with trains and a monorail running into the centre, while Narita is much further out and the transfer by train or airport bus takes noticeably longer, so plan that leg before you book. Check which airport your itinerary uses, and if you continue onwards in Japan, check whether you need to change airports, because Haneda and Narita sit on opposite sides of the city.
