    This is my "I just found out how much plane tickets to Japan costs" face.

    ~$1,100 is the lowest I've found in a search on Yahoo travel, prices went from that all the way up to ~$3,800. I already pay $1,100 a month for rent, and I'm squandering my savings from even that since I'm between jobs.

    Do the prices on plane tickets get better than this during other times of the year? With my luck, though, they'll get cheap by the time I found a job, but when I haven't yet been at whatever-future-company long enough to have earned a week of vacation.

    Are there more affordable ways to get there, /trv/? I just want to travel to Japan (or Germany, where my cousins and relatives are) and get away for a week or two before jumping back into the daily grind again.

    I would assume cheaper in the summer. New Years is like the biggest holiday in Japan... I don't think many Japanese leave the country during this time but it probably means more airport personnel is off.

    I went last summer and I got my ticket at the last minute and shit was around $860 but I was stuck in the last seat - its in front of the bathroom if you dont mind that.

    post christmas winter is usually the cheapest time for airline tickets. pre-thanksgiving fall can be cheap too. but yeah. $1100 sounds about right. I paid $800 two years ago in the winter, and that was through a consolidator. Fees and fares have gone up a bit since then.

    The really expensive shit ($3500) are probably like full price economy tickets.

    Yup. Shit sucks.

    Haha.

    Around 2 months ago I bought my tickets for Japan in February 09. My return fee was $377 from Australia.

    Don't forget the money you'll need to spend once you get there =/.

    This. Just row across the Pacific. With a name like that it must be calm.

    Seattle.

    Uh yeah I was curious about that.

    Is allocating $2,500 enough to survive two weeks in Tokyo as long as I don't buy tons of useless shit?

    More than enough. I have a friend from Austrailia who lasted on $2000 AUS. Just don't eat out too often and things should be fine. Also, finding a place to stay might be your major problem. Try a youth hostel or something.
