Korean Air: Japan ski-season fares ex. Sydney for $886 return including tax!

Happiness is a warm ski-season fare to Japan. Sydney - Tokyo on sale for $886 return.

As some of you folks may know, I have a skiing problem. My hunt for cheap fares wherever the snow falls is brutal and relentless. However, in my quest I find some real deals that will make you drop your kim-chi, such as Korean Air’s $886 Sydney – Tokyo special, offered through STA Travel, for journeys between January – March, 2010. Which is ideal, as that’s the perfect time to be kicking up some Hakuba snow!

The best way to find these fares is to search via Wego.com and find Korean Air’s $886 fares during these months ($740 base). Once found, click through to STA Travel’s website. These fares are fixed regardless of day, meaning that you shouldn’t be shy searching for weekend departures and arrivals.

Please note that these flights make a 2-hour stopover in Incheon, Korea (near Seoul). Before you get tempted by Malaysia Airlines’ marginally-cheaper flights, note that the stopovers on their Australia-Tokyo flights really hurt… Unless you enjoy sleeping in airports, that is.

I apologise to you for the last string of posts being so Sydney-centric, but that’s where the deals be at right now. See you in Sapporo!

Well…sell in Hakuba. See you in Sapporo would set you back a tonne of dough to get from Tokyo – Sapporo. That leg is a killer! Qantas has deals to Sapporo for $1078 + taxes from Sydney which all the way to Sapporo is pretty damn good if you have a hankering for some Hokkaido action. Although why pay the extra when the mainland resorts are pretty damn good as they are….

Haha, need coffee, too! Have you had any experiences with Japan’s low cost carriers like Skymark ( http://www.skymark.co.jp/en/index.html ) ? Last time I checked they flew Tokyo – Sapporo for a reasonable fare, but their site is all kinds of wacky.

Thank you for the tip!
