Fare alert! Tokyo on sale for under $600
Cherry blossom season is almost upon us, and that can only mean one thing for airfares: it's time for the annual sale on tickets to Tokyo.Most years there is a bit of a run on tickets to the Far East around this time of the year, but in this year's prices, you can sense a bit of desperation. The economy is down, loads are light and the airlines are doing whatever they can to interest the American consumer in traveling again. Including slashing fares to Japan.
This round brings fares to anywhere between $550 and $600 from departure points all across the country. Plugging "flexible dates" into Travelocity, I'm finding $584 spring fares from LGA-NRT (that's New York LaGuardia to Tokyo Narita,) while Los Angeles and Chicago are returning similar results.
All fares are on American Airlines (with some on United,) and travel appears to be good all of the way through May.

Wow Good one!!! I like it! I want to pick one up, but just trying to find the right dates that work for me. Good deal though.

Interesting. I'm surprised that prices would be going down around sakura season, rather than up as demand to be in Japan at that time soars.
I just wish I had the money right now to do such a thing.
