This is NOT for EVERYONE
It detours via Hawaii HNL, possibly needs a stay before and after the flights in US city
Only you can decide if the saving is worth it
But for those willing to position flights to USA cities
Alaska Airlines has possible PRICE ERRORS from US cities to Tokyo Haneda (HND) via HNL/Hawaii
It was initially only seen via OTA
Now I see it on OTA and Alaska website
LAX/SFO/SAN/SEA-HNL-HND for around $300 per person
Dates: Next winter? Try Google Flights calendar
I booked LAX-HNL-HND return for C$300 next winter via Expedia4TD
I saved like $1000 per person, BEFORE the hotel and position flight, enough for me to try for fun
You can find in Google Flights, or OTA
Cancel allowed within 24 hours
Don’t book any positioning flights yet until these are confirmed
Possible price erros from East Coast too, like JFK, for slight more $$
