Cheap flights
People do everything online now adays.
Expedia, orbits, travelocity, etc etc.
these places are crap.
back in the day, every one booked with travel agencies.
they actually HELP YOU with your situation and cost needs.
i strongly recommend seeing a good travel agent and asking for cheap student prices.
this part is more help to people in the US actually sorry
i go through
JTB USA, they are a travel agency in New York that specializes in trips to and from Japan.
you can usually snag tickets from 700 to 1000 dollars.
Make sure you let them know your a student if you are.
How it works is it cycles thru the cheapest flights and gives you a time frame in which you can go and come back from Tokyo.
im no Expert at flights and airports and whatnot but thats just my lil tip for every one.
generally you are allowed to take 2 bags and 2 carry ons.
22kilos for each bag of luggage.
i recommend packing lightly cuz you'll most likely be bringing a lot of stuff back.
if you go over they will charge you extra.
Some tips for packing
bring your own stick deordorent... i dunno bout every one else but i hate the spray kind, and they ONLY sell those here. its annoying.
Roll your clothing, less wrinkles and saves space.
you can Generally buy all sorts of stuff like shampoo, toothpaste, brushes, and towels when you get here at any ampm or corner store.
so if you are lookin to save space, just buy that stuff when you get here.
pack the appropriate clothing for the weather
save room for goodies on the trip back
This ends this portion
if i think of any thing else ill edit it or if you would like to add somthing else please pm me
