He may have been incredibly lucky with his timing though as in that instance the youth fares were only available for a few days and very gone very quickly.
April was a good time to score cheap ticket as Japan was just open at that time.
If you look at SK's tickets to Asia they are not cheap unless you can leave last minute (maybe with a couple of weeks notice). The best bet would be late January (I did see Y award at that time).
