Star Alliance member LOT Polish Airlines offers cheap flights from Brussels and Amsterdam to Tokyo with tickets are as cheap as €475 – or €500 on LOT’s website. Tickets including checked bags start at €560 – unless you’re Star Alliance Gold or Miles&More Frequent Traveller, as luggage is included for those frequent flyers.
Our availability calendar highlights all possible flight dates. It will forward you to Skyscanner with your selected flight dates. From there, you can let yourself be redirected to an OTA to pay around €475, or to LOT’s website, where you’ll pay around €500. The latter is especially recommendable if you intend to book a fare that includes luggage.
LOT uses a Boeing 787 for its flights to Tokyo, which has a 3-3-3 configuration in economy class. The short flights will likely be on Embraer jets in a 2-2 configuration.
While the shortest route leads from Warsaw Northeast through Siberian airspace, LOT takes a more Southern route for these flights, avoiding Belarus and Russia.

Why is booking with an airline better than with an online travel agency?
More often than not, online travel agencies offer lower fares than airlines do. We still recommend booking with the airlines directly. There are two main reasons for that:
Better Customer Service
In case any problems like delays, cancellations or missed connections arise, you can communicate directly with the airline. The airline has to take care of you because you have a contract with them.
If a travel agency issues your ticket, you may have to reach out to them first. You also depend on your OTA to forward information like flight changes instead of receiving them directly from the airline. In many cases, you may get a prime exhibition of responsibility shifting rather than problem-solving.
This especially applies to premium tickets. You don’t want to spend more than €1,000 to wind up with some budget OTA’s telephone hotline in case anything goes wrong.
Baggage and Other Fees
Economy fares not including hold luggage are industry standard by now. In most cases, travel agencies charge much higher baggage fees than the airlines themselves. If bags are not included in your fare, airlines are often the cheaper alternative.
This also applies to other things like food services, insurances or priority treatment. In almost all cases, you pay less for additional amenities when booking on the airlines’ website.

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.
