Booking a holiday to Japan

[montymint]

Looking to get away to Japan potentially next year.

I’m wondering which companies are recommended for booking a few weeks away there?

I’m a little clueless with holiday bookings as I normally only ever require flights only when I go away to Portugal.

I never book it through 3rd parties, too much potential headache. The airline of choice are in the order of…(my preference)

ANA, JAL (although often it’s operated get BA), and then BA. These have direct flights.

Indirect you can go with lots of others, either connection in Helsinki, Dubai, Hong Kong, Singapore etc.

I only ever flown direct, it can be as long as 15hrs these days, up from 12hrs since the war. The most important thing is get data (eSIM) and use google maps and google translate. Buy some yen now as it’s the best rate in the last 25yrs.

Thanks for this - it was the 3rd party bit that was a worry - like should I book a package or anything like that.
