Flights to Haneda

Hi. I'm looking to book flights to Haneda for next year - and I'm not sure whether to go Premium Economy or not. Can't afford Business Class unfortunately, so would appreciate any views - opinions. At the minute it looks like it will be with Lufthansa or ANA flying indirect from Manchester. Thanks in advance

It's a long flight so I would go for the most comfortable option you can afford. We went to Haneda with BA from Heathrow and were lucky enough to fly first class, thanks to our Avios points. If you belong to any loyalty schemes it's definitely worth seeing if you can get good use from your points on a long haul flight. All we had to pay was approximately �1000 for taxes - not each, that was the total for both of us.

Depends on the price difference and whether you do well on flights.

I just flew very long haul with United including a 16 hour flight and decided not to pay the extra $150-200 or so they wanted for Economy Plus for the 16 hour flight, but I generally do very well on flights and would much rather take the money for more souvenirs or a nice sit down meal.

Well flights are now booked! Flying from Manchester via Copenhagen to Narita Airport. Would have preferred Haneda but all return flights would arrive back in Manchester at 23:00ish so would have to stay in hotel overnight (non driver) and the Narita one gets us back at 18:45 so can get a lift home!
Flying economy out and premium back (was cheaper than economy!) so we get 4 cases to bring back all my goodies in. Yay!

Woohoo! That's fantastic

Yeah, feels great! And one thing checked off my list

Still busy watching YouTube and making notes of things I want to see, buy and eat!

Can I ask who you booked with and how much you paid?
We are looking at Tokyo next summer.
