It is a good time to plan a trip to Japan if you have been waiting for the green light for the last couple of years, as the country has finally relaxed its entry requirements for individual tourists.

Cheap economy flights from the West Coast and a way to travel in style from the East Coast are just two of the deals we have for this weekend.

If you are within driving distance of Los Angeles or if you can find a cheap positioning flight that will get you to Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), you can make it to Tokyo and back in less than a year.

There is good news if you read the review of ANA's business class product called The Room by the director of content.

These deals were flagged to Japan by Scott.

If you want to visit a country on the other side of the world, these deals could be a great way to do so.

Economy flights to Japan

Deal basics

The airlines are America, Delta, and Japan.

The route goes from Los Angeles to Tokyo.

The travel dates are from January to March.

You can sign up for our newsletter.

You can book directly with the airlines if you search for the best itinerary on the internet.

Sample flights

During the first few months of the year, the economy deals to Tokyo are available out of Los Angeles.

The price of flights from other U.S. cities is double the price of flights from Los Angeles. You may want to check award availability or flight deals to Los Angeles to make sure you're ready for the flight.

A lot of the best availability involves a departure from American Airlines and a return flight from Delta Air Lines.

There is a February itinerary that will take you from Los Angeles International Airport to Tokyo Haneda Airport in less than 25 minutes. If you want to get that $552 fare, you have to stop at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, but it is only a short stop.

If you have Global Entry and can get through customs quickly, you should be able to get a refill in one of the airline lounges at DFW.

Business class deals to Tokyo

Cheap economy fares are great, but there are also flights to Japan that are more luxurious and comfortable. Booking a multi-city itinerary to another destination with a stop in Tokyo is one of the cheapest ways to get to Tokyo.

In this case, you can book ANA business class via The Room accommodations on the plane, before going on to Jakarta.

You can get round-trip fares in this premium cabin for as low as $2,699 if you search multi-city itineraries from New York to Jakarta, Indonesia, with a stop in Tokyo. Depending on how you book the trip, you could stop in Tokyo and spend more time there than in Jakarta.

If you want to book through the airline, you need to search for your itinerary on the internet.

To find business class availability, go to the internet. It will take 14 hours to get from JFK to Tokyo. The price will fluctuate based on each departure date, so you can play with the dates for the next leg of the trip, from Haneda to Jakarta.

GOOGLE FLIGHTS

I will spend a week in Tokyo and a week in Indonesia. If you don't want to spend a lot of time in Tokyo, you can just take a flight from Jakarta to New York. A two week trip for $2,699 is available.

GOOGLE FLIGHTS

You can check to see if the long-haul portion of the trip is on an ANA aircraft with The Room by going to ANA's website.
