Hi all, I’ve got a bit of a random question but would like to get your opinions! I’m trying to book London-Tokyo (10 days in Japan) for end of March next year using my 241 voucher. There’s no availability for the exact date, a Saturday, but there is for the previous Wednesday. The return leg will need to be added next week as they become available.

Would you book for the Wednesday (we are not very flexible as my g/f has Uni that week) and keep checking during the coming months to see if Sat/Sunday become available, or does this rarely happen? Or would you maybe book the outbound to Shanghai, spend a day there and then return from Tokyo. I know it is up to personal preference but maybe you’ve been through something similar? Any thoughts appreciated. Thanks!!!
