^This should be moved to practical.

To answer your question, you should check with discount ticketers such as Travelocity, Priceline.com and others.

When I'm looking for cheap tickets, I go to HIS travel. I'm not sure if they also cater to European travelers.

Tickets in April tend to be on the expensive side because it is one of the best sightseeing periods of the year. The lowest fares are in February and September, based on my experience.

thanks epigene!

I've also used STA before, and have had no real complaints. My girlfriend is flying from around the second or third week of December, and will be paying around $480US (through HIS).

Try
www.statravel.co.uk
www.expedia.co.uk
www.ebookers.co.uk

I've been looking at flights to and from Osaka and with Expedia I've got it down to around £370.

Wait, so....statravel seems to cater to UK not the US. How do they use statravel traveling from the US. I am looking to purchase a ticket soon for mid October travel.

Online travel agents are far from helpful. It is best to know someone that is a travel agent and know them so well that you find yourself with discounts beyond belief.
