Now that Japan is finally re-opening on October 11th (no more mandatory guided tours, daily caps, or visa requirements) many of us have been wondering when there will be a great deal to Japan again.

As you may have seen recently the first strong deal to emerge from Vancouver to Asia was to Singapore. At $598 to $650 CAD roundtrip the price for YVR-SIN is pretty close to the great deals witnessed between 2018 and 2019.

Those prices are still around and using some Multi-City magic it's possible to turn them into a great "2-in-1 deal" where you can visit both Singapore *and* Japan for $678 CAD roundtrip.

Jun 7 to Jun 13, 14, 15, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 25, 26-30

Step 4 - For Leg #2 (the middle leg) try using a date that is 3 days after the date in Leg #1.

For example, if your start and end dates from above are May 11 to May 24, you could try searching for...

May 11 to May 14 to May 24.

This gives you a few days in Singapore.

If you try to reduce the number of days in Singapore to less than a few days, the flight price goes up.

You can however increase the number of days in Singapore without affecting the price.

NOTE: Most of these flights fly into Tokyo's NRT airport, and then home from Tokyo's HND airport. It's not an issue since you're spending time in Japan, but just be aware.
