Virgin Australia Can Get You to Tokyo (and Back) For Less Than $700

Overview

The Land of the Rising Sun has a reputation for rising prices (though, it doesn't need to be — here's how to do Tokyo on the cheap). However, fork over the same kind of coin you'd expect to drop on a weekend staycay in a luxe local hotel and you could be heading international to experience the best that Tokyo has to offer. Like eclectic modern neighbourhoods, ancient cultural traditions and unique culinary experiences. (Did you even go to Japan if you didn't eat your body weight in sashimi?)

Helping to ensure the cost of the airfare doesn't need to eat too much into your bento-box budget? Virgin Australia's Hello Tokyo sale, which is offering return flights for as low as $699 if you book before Tuesday, December 20.

While some of the best deals will be available for those flying VA's new Cairns to Tokyo route, expect excellent prices on a range of departure points across the Eastern seaboard, for travel from July to November next year.

We get it — mid-2023 feels like a lifetime away right now. But if you're not expecting anyone to surprise you with a couple of tickets for an overseas holiday this Christmas, you officially have the green light to treat yourself to something to look forward to.

Virgin Australia will be flying to Tokyo from Wednesday June 28, 2023 — but you've only got until Tuesday, 20 December to nab fares from as low as $699 return. For more info and to book your seats, head to the website.
