Japan flights
Hi everyone!
We are planning a 2022 Japan trip. Here is my itinerary: Day 1 - Fly (to Osaka) Day 2 Arrive - Osaka hotel Day 3 Osaka Day 4 Universal Day 5 Universal Day 6 Hiroshima Day 7 Hiroshima Day 8 Kyoto Day 9 Kyoto Day 10 Kyoto Day 11 Tokyo Day 12 Disney Day 13 Disney Day 14 Disney Day 15 Disney Day 16 Fly (from Tokyo) Day 17 - Arrive home We are planning to go August-September 2022. There are flights on skyscanner now for £600pp. They are with Emirates, from/to Gatwick, with a 2hr25 layover in Dubai on the way out, and a 4hr layover in Dubai on the return. For Florida I would usually wait until 9 months before the trip to book flights so it generally feels a bit early to do this but I wondered it this seemed right in terms of price and if anyone has any experience with Emirates/ layovers in Dubai? Thanks in advance! |

We have flown with Emirates with a stopover. I thought Emirates were great - best airline I have flown with. Our stopover had a hotel overnight stay included but Dubai airport is large with plenty to see.
As we are not allowed into Japan yet I would double check their cancellation policy though. We were in Japan in 2019 and loved it. |

Never used the airline but hear very good things them.
That time of year weather wise: July and August are very hot and humid, but also lively with lots of festivals. Mid to late September can be nice (if hot), with fewer tourists than summer or fall. October and November have very pleasant autumn weather, but also crowds rivaling spring (especially for the fall foliage in November). Would love to hear your plans for the nine Disney / Universal days :-)) |

Thank you! We are bound to university holidays so can't change the dates.
I wasnt planning on really making a plan for the park days to be honest! I'd like to be able to go with the flow. It's 2 universal days and 4 disney days we have planned which I think gives us some time to be flexible. |

Emirates is a fantastic airline. Even in economy, I've gotten better service than I have in business on British carriers. It's in my top two - the other being Singapore Airlines, if you were curious. Specifically for ex-London flights, I might even put them in first place since I can depart from Gatwick which is a significant advantage for me.
Dubai layover was fine, although mine was quite short. Basically just reclear security and then back on the plane. Edited at 02:12 PM. |

make sure your flights are refundable. There is still no hint of when the borders will open for tourists.
