So far only United Airlines. JAL and ANA have not (may not) release specials to Japan...it's currently $850+ for the same flight.

Curiously enough, going onward to Manila will only cost $130 more ($830) and on JAL. Yes, it's cheaper to fly to Manila from Japan, than to return to the US from Tokyo.

that's great...when i went i took United....they did offer the best price at the time.....but you could always take ANA if you are a star alliance member and still get the miles for your frequent flyer program....next time i might wanna pay a bit more maybe and fly JAL to compare the service and the flight attendants.....United has hags on board.

Finally I'll be going next year October ( ) to Japan to study there. I'm glad I can finally go, but damn, it still feels like I need to wait forever.

As of the moment I'm earning alot of money which should aid me there. That's so stupid you know, I work like 12 or more hours a day and as soon as I'm home the first thing I'm doing is looking for my bed.

But I should keep in mind that it's all gonna be worth it.

good luck on your studies in Japan, October will come soon enough. Have fun.
12 hours or more working a day, that sounds tough and exhausting...

Maybe you'll appreciate it even more, if you worked that hard to go there.

You should see people around here, when they go to cancun in the middle of winter and it's -40 outside.
