How much does a flight to Tokyo cost?

Cheapest time to fly and when to book

The cheapest time to fly is usually late May to June and early December, when the rainy season arrives in June and early December is cold and quieter.

Fares peak in cherry blossom season, Golden Week (late April-early May) and Obon (mid-August), so October-November is a good-value pick for mild weather and autumn colour.

How early in advance should I book my flight

Book 3-6 months ahead for the best fares, and earlier for cherry blossom season and Golden Week. Prices generally rise closer to departure.

The best affordable payment plan ever I love the fact that I can pay off fortnightly in few months rather than having to try and squeeze in to pay off 4 fortnights like Afterpay. Pay Later is my go to for travel from now on. My first solo trip, Japan here I come! I'm already deciding on next trip so Pay Later, you will get another love from me.

First time user found the whole process easy to use and being able to pay of in small installments makes so much easier to help with finances. Brilliant

Really great response times and customer service. The staff worked with me to ensure I could book my seats early and made the airline aware of my need for assistance related to disability. Having this arranged has reduced my anxiety around travelling. Thanks team.

Pretty good, you may be paying a premium but I was happy to get in and book the flights early, especially being Melbourne cup week

Nick Agostini

Great company! Allowed my family and I to travel overseas with small fortnightly payments. 4 return tickets from Melbourne to bali for under $1800. Very helpful staff when wanting to postpone a payment, no issues at all. Will definitely keep using pay later travel.

FAQs

Got a question for us? Let’s navigate it together.

Can I pay for my flights in instalments?

Yes! Using Paylater Travel lets you split the upfront cost of your flight into smaller, more manageable payments. After booking your flight with a small deposit, you can pay off the rest in up to 18 weekly instalments.

Do I need a credit check?

No, credit checks aren’t needed to book a flight with Paylater Travel. This is because we aren't providing you with credit or a loan. Your seat is secured with a small deposit and the remainder is paid off in installments before you fly.

No interest. No credit checks.

When will I receive my flight ticket?

As soon as you’ve paid your deposit via the Paylater Travel platform, we purchase your ticket on your behalf. This means your seat is secure and today’s price has been locked in. You will then receive your flight itinerary (essentially, your pre-departure e-ticket) via email within 24 hours of completing your final payment – easy!

What happens if I miss a payment?

We understand that sometimes payments are made late. We won't charge you a late fee. In the case of a missed payment, we'll send you a notification to let you know we've been unable to process a scheduled payment. Consecutively missed payments may place your booking at risk of being cancelled. We will always try and get in touch and be as flexible as possible with payment plans before we cancel a booking.

How can I choose my seat or add baggage?

Seat selection and luggage options are typically managed through the airline's website. Once you’ve paid in full and received your flight itinerary from Paylater Travel, you’ll be able to directly contact the airline and choose your seat or add luggage (if it wasn’t already included in the fare).
