Something tells me this is a YQ dump if YQ to NRT is more than $517.
Go ahead and book, though.

This isn't going to show on Delta.com because it involves other non partner airlines.

Best East Coast-Japan fare I've seen in a while (too bad Japan is so freakin' expensive these days!).

The off-peak time between Easter and summer break (late April to early June) seems to be a good window to find oddball int'l airfares. Something to keep in mind when planning vacation time.

Sorry for being a little late to the game. So this is only good on Delta? I'd love to find something on Star. Anyone have any luck booking other airlines?

Still seems to be out there for May departures only (with some June returns). There is an $850 fare that does not seem to be bookable for June departures. Anyone else have better luck?

So random May weekend booking on vayama is still coming up at $567.36.

There's an airport change from ITM to KIX on the way back from HND. Anyone know how easy it is to transfer from one to the other?

Getting excited now. A bit pooped. Will book the positioning flights to NYC later or tomorrow.
We did a weekend trip to Tokyo a few months ago - it's a great city for food, and we tend to travel just to eat!

Here's a link to our trip report with lots of photos and suggestions of things to do and places to eat:

Have a great trip!

I don't think that's the case. I've had an itinerary with AC/DL/KL metal mixed and AC was the first leg. It showed up on my itinerary page. I currently have a PNR in my itinerary page that has a mix of S* and ST; however, this one's weird as it only shows the ST portion.

No, tried many combinations NYC-HND with 2-3 day combos of dates between 5/20-31 on vayama, clearfare, farebuzz and cheaptickets all. Prefer S*A but saw the aforementioned DL stuff.

We went to Japan last year when Delta have promotion with double miles from LAX for around $560. You will love Japan. People are so nice and sweet. If you plan to visit to different cities in Japan please take a look at the Shingunsen rail pass. It will save you a lot of money. Enjoy your trip. I have been to Japan 6 times and I can't wait to go back there again.

Last April there was a DL T-class fare from NYC to Tokyo for $420. Sadly, I had to cancel within the 24-hour window . . .

Considering how short the JL leg is, does it matter...?

But to humor you I tried looking at my JAL record - didn't see the booking code for that... Hmmm.
