Re: Free airfare to Japan?
Seriously half the battle with going to Japan is the airfare is so outrageous. Take that out and Japan looks a whole lot better (minus the exchange rate).

Re: Free airfare to Japan?
This is a genius idea. Who would pass up a free ticket to Japan?

I'm sure you can find cheaper flights, it also depends on which coast you're leaving from. West Coast is cheaper.

Re: Free airfare to Japan?
Whoa, too bad it's not 100% set and if it does get passed not until next April (all according to that link.) I might plan a second trip for next year then too, this is cool.

I'm sure you can find cheaper flights, it also depends on which coast you're leaving from. West Coast is cheaper. I've gone twice for less than $1k + hotel. The month you go also plays a big part in your airfare as well as where you stay. The thing that amazes me, a lot of people spend a whole lot of money going to SDCC. If you can save up for SDCC, take a year off and use that money for a trip to Japan.

Re: Free airfare to Japan?
I always spent about $700 from the midwest. Haven't been in a few years though. The exchange was much better the first time.
