When to fly
April brings milder temperatures and longer evenings to Tokyo, making it a practical time to arrive when spring flowers begin opening. The destination experiences hot humid summers and cold winters, so consider what kind of weather you want during your stay. School holidays across Europe and Asia affect demand, while weekday departures often carry lower fares than weekend travel.
Airlines and what to expect
Full-service carriers like Qatar Airways, Emirates, British Airways, and Turkish Airlines connect passengers through their respective hubs before reaching Japan. Juneyao Airlines and Hainan Airlines also operate on this route with connections in China.
