How can you most easily, affordably and interestingly reach Japan for this spring’s cherry blossom season? I have checked flights for a range of options that leave the UK on 1 April and return two weeks later.
It is not a buyer’s market. Demand is strong, pushing up fares. With Russian airspace closed to Western and Japanese aircraft, journeys are extended – with higher costs for the airlines. But if you are flexible about flights, you can keep the price down.
