Connections on different airlines mean they don't give a poo poo if your first flight is delayed. Different airlines for departure/return shouldn't be a problem. Fwiw, you usually have to get your checked bags out then re-check for international-domestic connections anyway, even on the same carrier.

Check ANA (United codeshare.) Their fare calendar lets you compare +/- 3 days and specific flights easily.

Go for it. Just check your terminal transfers at LAX (it's a long, skinny airport) and brace yourself for Japanese summer (it's like South Carolina.)

Waiting overnight is p common with canceled international flights. Iceland just has some weird layovers - make the best of it!

Don't overestimate public transportation in the US. Getting from DC to Baltimore is doable, but NYC to DC will cancel out your airfare savings.

You won't find better than that price, but I do worry about third-party websites and lovely connections.

That's a very reasonable price for the busy Christmas season.

Korean is good, Incheon Airport is great. Check if that's actually staffed by Korean or if it's a codeshare with a US airline.

Different countries have different peak travel seasons and airport taxes etc. Try alternative dates and/or round about routes.

Try an open-jaw plus a one-way. Not every airline's search supports open jaws (I used Expedia instead, but that has some risks.)

VelociBacon posted:Is there a way of knowing when the best time to buy flights is? Flying from Vancouver to Tokyo in December and wondering if prices are going to change much at all between then and now. I usually fly ANA. They have a good search calendar. Flights for winter will fill up/go up in fall. I'd jump on anything under $1000, but depending on fuel surcharge and availability you might find something as cheap as $750. Sorry for your Canadian dollars.

The system should automatically seat you together unless an improbable number of single travelers pay to reserve seats in advance. If I recall correctly, the ANA website allows seat selection 1 month in advance. Zurich goon: $1000 for transoceanic isn't "crazy expensive" lol. That's an excellent price, and that Munich fare is too good to believe.

It looks like they're not an airline, but a logistics company. I think you'd better check ANA directly, or HIS (Japanese discount agent.) Or look at the Chitose airport site and see what lcc carriers fly there.

For Singapore, check Scoot, Tiger, and JetStar. This popped up in my search too, what do you airfare nerds think? https://en.hellowings.com/ "Find your ideal price first, then choose the date. HelloWings mix and match budget airlines (LCC) to customize your ..."

Not if it's lcc only. Shorter routes, and possibly only 2-3 flights a week.

You'd have to spend more money on the Russian visa, anyway. I went to Mexico City in July and the altitude kept the temperature pleasant (it even hailed!)

The sleazy carpet sellers of Istanbul are an unforgettable part of the experience. I was never groped... they always asked first. All the Kurds and dudes from -stans are chill and nice though. Ataturk Airport is hella nice and a huge travel hub between continents ( ;∀;)

Standby? Deadhead? Standby exists but you have to choose the route in advance (show up early for a flight with multiple departures). I saw Deadhead in "Catch Me If You Can" but it was staff only and probably disappeared after Rules happened on planes. Yes Man took the next flight to wherever but he paid full price.

I always go through LAX/TB at night and all the Asia flights arrive/depart at the same time in the same block of gates. All the shops are closed and the toilets are far away. Bilingual signage is non-existent. One good thing: LAX let me re-check my baggage at TB after immigration so I didn't have to drag it all the way to T2.

That is a great price especially with the recent CAD exchange rate. I'm more surprised you can book that far in advance...

You could book a comfortable flight to Tokyo then use an LCC for the 2:30 flight to Taipei.

If you fly on ANA or JAL you can expect around ¥10,000 ($100) domestic connection to Fukuoka.
