The Bangkok–Tokyo route is one of the most popular in the region, with both direct and connecting flights across several airlines. Prices swing quite a bit depending on the season.
When fares tend to be cheapest
Fares are usually best mid-week (Tuesday–Thursday) and outside major holiday periods in both Thailand and Tokyo — avoid New Year and cherry blossom season if you can.

How to compare fares effectively
Comparing prices across several channels at once gives you a clearer picture of the overall market rate, and helps you catch promotions at the right moment.
Airlines operating this route
This route has both full-service carriers flying direct and budget airlines that usually require a connection. If you'd rather save time and not haul heavy luggage through multiple airports, a direct flight pays off in the long run — but if budget is tight, a connecting flight can save real money, as long as you allow enough time between legs.

Preparing to fly to Japan
Before you travel, make sure your passport has at least 6 months of validity left, and register with Visit Japan Web in advance to speed up immigration in Tokyo. Also double-check your airline's baggage allowance — limits vary by carrier, so you won't get hit with excess baggage fees at check-in.
Tips for earning miles and seat upgrades
If you fly this route often, consider joining the frequent-flyer program of whichever airline you use most. Miles from tickets bought online add up, and you may eventually be able to use them for a seat upgrade or a free ticket on a future flight.
