1way from BKK to NRT

I have been looking for one way fares from BKK to NRT and the cheapest I have found has been on ANA for $790US.
I have also searched for RT's and the cheapest has been $621 on UA.

Does anyone knows where I can find better prices?
I have searched the major internet travel site.
I'd prefer to get a 1way ticket, rather than go for the RT.

Advice

Wait till you get to BKK

If you are a few days to spare in BKK, just stop by one of many bucket shops and buy an O/W ticket there. O/W to NRT is going to run you $200 - $250 USD, if you buy it locally.

Would second that...the Khao San Rd. places in BKK can easily beat online prices for things like this.

That will be great!, but would there be a guarantee for availability for the date I need to fly to NRT?
I am not flexible at all and I need to fly after 11PM, probably for March 24th.
Would these bucket shops have listed phone numbers to call?

The Khao San Road travel agents can get you good deals. I booked a BKK-HKG o/w on Air China? last year for about 120US. I can't remember the name of the agency I used, but here's a link that lists several of the agencies...

http://www.khaosanroad.com/travel.html

P.S. found that link from the www.lonelyplanet.com forums, a useful source for budget travel info. You might find reviews of individual agents there.

P.P.S. You should probably expect a small credit charge surcharge on tickets purchased, seems to be the way of the world with these bucket shops.
