My wife and I actually prefer to travel to Japan (specifically Tokyo, Kyoto, or Osaka) during the winter. We've been during the spring and summer as well. Obviously spring is the best time but also the most expensive time. We have gone more times than we can count since we have friends and family that live there.

For us, the summer time is just way too hot and humid. Although the trains have ice cold AC, there is a ton of walking in the thick heat. Weirdly, the only time I have experienced rain in Japan was during the summer.

We prefer winter because:
1. There are way less tourist, which means less wait at attractions of popular restaurants.

2. It is cold but we just wore a thicker pair of pants with a down/puffy coat and we were fine. The trains had the heater blasting so they were nice little breaks to warm up. With all the walking, it didn't really feel all that cold to us (except for our hands)

3. Many popular attractions are decorated with tons of Christmas lights and it just looks magical

4. We found that hotel prices are a little cheaper around the winter time

5. Eating a hot steaming bowl of ramen when it is cold out is one of the best feelings

We also have experienced a snow in Tokyo and it didn't feel too cold. It was just a little annoying because it got our shoes wet and some parts were really slippery. There wasn't a lot of snow but enough for it to visibly coat the floor and to feel it under your feet as you walked.

I've never experienced a Chicago winter but I find it comparable to a winter I've experienced in Portland. It is definitely way colder winter than a LA winter.

Usually means book thru American, but a JAL flight. Which is a HUGE PLUS!

For S. Korea you book thru United, but always an Asiana flight..

When booking through American, but JAL is the one operating the flight (JAL metal), which baggage rules do we follow? American or JAL? Thanks in advance!

if you are booking through AA, then it's usually AA baggage rules.

American Airlines from past experiences. Used to be able to get 2 free check in bags in 2018 and 2020. They changed to only 1 free check in bag on economy.

Can confirm. We ended up on AA going there and JAL coming back. Two free checked bags up to 50lbs each. The good old days.

Are most AA flights from Los Angeles JAL operated? I'm actually heading to Tokyo in a few weeks and it's through AA from LAX. LOL.

Just FYI, a bunch of radioactive water was dumped into the ocean in Japan very recently...
Lol no it was completely treated and deemed safe. Really? You think a country who prides itself in being clean and super detailed oriented was going to let out dangerous radioactive water just like that? Plus most people go to japan for the cities, I doubt they're going to the ocean oriented towns in November/December

Are the $657 round trip ones really operated by JAL? I see only some flights on AA.com listed as operated by JAL and none of those are priced at $657. In contrast, all the $657 flights which do not list operated by JAL.

This is a good deal, previously it was AA basic economy flights from LAX to HND meaning no seat selection or free checked bags or flight changes, how do I view the flight change terms since I'm booking it through AA?

Depending on carrier, Asian flights even in BE fares often include checked baggage even when domestic or European fares don't (but you still often don't get seat selection or free changes). It's worth researching.

AA automatically seats you next to your kids under 12. I might look into Delta instead… Wink
