Where do you buy your flights? (from Japan)
'Ello, 'ello.
Had a good weekend I hope.
Interesting thought I had recently when joining the masses to search for that Christmas vacation deal. Where do foreigners in Japan search for flight tickets? My general array of knowledge and friends have referred to Hit Travel or No. 1 Travel as both sites are in English. And most seem intimidated by the regular Japanese agent. I guess this is the same in searching for an apartment.
The Japanese person searching for their next holiday may search a number of online resources and printed ads. Often there are campaigns. But looking specifically at No. 1 Travel the prices seemed to be reasonable as well.
Tell me, where do you search for your travel plans? Do you use websites outside of Japan?

When I was there I used to use Expedia Canada. I think it was more expensive though. My boyfriend and I know better now.

Some travel agents speak English. They can be hard to find.
What I suggest is book your flight (through No. 1 or Hit Travel) then call around or pop in and look at fliers or to someone, if possible. If you can find a better price from your Japanese agent, Hit or No. 1 Travel might match or beat that price. Then you still get to deal in English.
if you use No. 1 or Hit i suggest calling rather than visiting. when i visited the offices i felt very pressured to buy something. at Hit particularily, i was looking to go to thailand and that particular area was all booked on whatever price rate campaign they were having. they were trying to get me to change my destination so i could book something. i had to tear myself away. i'll stick to call-booking from now on.
