China Southern is offering flights to destinations in Asia for cheap. These fares include bags, food and seats. Dates are March through June (Spring).
This deal is good for 3 reasons.
- First is that the dates to Tokyo include cherry blossom season.
- The second is that you can actually leave from different cities for the same price. So fly into Tokyo, fly out of Osaka. Or fly into Seoul and fly out of Busan.
- The third is that you can also do a stopover in Guangzhou, China for a potential 3 in 1 trip.
Find the dates in Google Flights then put them into your preferred booking engine. I've tried to put lots of example but best to try out your own combinations.
