Fly to Tokyo from S$261? Jetstar runs 4-day sale offering discounted tickets from 11 – 14 Oct 22

Hello Tokyo Sale is now on

Japan’s borders are finally reopening fully to tourists on October 11 and what better way to celebrate than to book a trip to the city of Tokyo?

From 11 – 14 October 22, Jetstar will be running a sale offering fares to Tokyo from S$261 all-inclusive one way.  This is incredibly cheap considering fares to Japan have gone through the roof. The only catch is you have to transit via Manila to enjoy this promo fare — not too bad if you are travelling alone.

The travel period is from 1 Feb to 15 March 2023, just in time for you to catch the cherry blossom season in mid-March.
