The Polish Star Alliance member LOT is currently offering an attractive deal for premium economy flights to Tokyo: You can book a round trip from Prague Airport in the Czech Republic for €662.
The price includes 2 pieces of luggage weighing up to 23 kg and a seat reservation. You’ll sit in more comfortable and spacious seats. The seat alignment in premium economy is 2-3-2 instead of 3-3-3 in economy class.
LOT allows all tickets booked by December 31, 2021, to be rebooked without having to pay a rebooking fee. However, you’ll have to pay the difference between the old and the new flight price. More on this is here on LOT’s website. Cancellation is not possible.
You can simply use the following form to book LOT’s deal. We have marked all available travel dates for trips of up to 28 days in green. Then just click on the blue button to get to the Travel-Dealz flight search. From there, you’ll just need to do one more click to book directly on LOT.com:
The long-haul flights are carried out with Boeing 787 Dreamliners operated by LOT. The short-distance flights from Prague to Warsaw (and back) are carried out with Dash-8 Turboprops.
Unfortunately, it is not yet clear when tourists can return to Japan and the conditions associated with this. If you want to be on the safe side, we, therefore, recommend taking a look at Air France’s offer. All tickets can be cancelled free of charge there until June 2022:
Search & Book
According to the fare rules, the offer is valid until January 16, 2022 for flights up to June 15, 2022. The return flight can also take place later.
The minimum stay requirement is 5 days or one night from Saturday to Sunday (whichever comes first). The fare does not provide any further restriction on the maximum length of your stay. Stopovers in Warsaw unfortunately cost €75 extra.
You can easily find suitable travel dates via our calendar above or with the help of Google Flights (instructions). We then recommend booking directly on LOT’s website for €662. If you are aware of the disadvantages, you can also book tickets from third-party providers in the Travel-Dealz flight search starting at €610. Please note, however, that additional fees for rebooking may then apply.

LOT’s Premium Economy
LOT’s premium economy is similar to that of Lufthansa but offers other advantages. There are 49.5 cm wide seats in a 2-3-2 arrangement, while the space to the seat in front is 96.5 cm or 38 inches big.
In premium economy, each passenger is allowed to check in two pieces of luggage (23 kg each), which are tagged with a priority tag. Two pieces of hand luggage are also included, each of which can weigh up to 12 kg. A small amenity kit is also given to passengers, which includes earplugs, a toothbrush, and a sleeping mask.
In contrast to Lufthansa, there is better on-board catering in premium economy than in economy class. A pre-departure drink is also included. You can find a comparison of a total of 21 Premium Economy Classes here: Upgrade to Premium Economy: Is it worth the Extra Cost? 21 airlines compared
There is also the option of visiting the LOT Business Lounge in Warsaw for a fee. The fee for this is PLN 120 (~€28) per person.
Information & Tips for Japan
Japan offers a blend of modern cities and natural beauty, with highlights including Tokyo’s bustling urban landscape, Kyoto’s historic temples, Mount Fuji, and the hot springs of Hakone. The currency is the Japanese yen (JPY), and credit cards are widely accepted in urban areas, though cash is still common in rural regions. Japan can be pricey, especially in cities, with high costs for accommodation and dining, but budget options are available. The weather varies by region: summers are hot and humid, while winters can be cold, particularly in the north. The best time to visit is typically during spring (for cherry blossoms) or autumn (for fall foliage).
Japan’s transport infrastructure is highly efficient and easy to navigate. In cities like Tokyo and Osaka, the metro and train systems are extensive, punctual, and relatively easy to use, though they can get crowded during peak hours. Buses and taxis are also available, but less convenient for tourists. For intercity travel, Japan’s Shinkansen (bullet trains) are fast, comfortable, and reliable, though more expensive than other options. Buses and domestic flights are also available for longer distances, but trains remain the preferred choice for many travellers due to speed and convenience.
