Here here laplap. Don't wait, keep looking and as soon as you see something you take it. Pretty much with Japan from the UK, Fare below £500 = BUY NOW! as they can easily go up by £2 - 300 without even blinking.
A suggestion to the OP - have you thought about ORD?. BMI and Delta? fly direct to ORD and it might be easier doing the transfer BEFORE rather than after the TransAt and ORD isn't exactly East Coast like JFK.
