Airfare deals are typically only available on limited dates. We recommend that you use Google Flights to find dates to fly, then book through an online travel agency, such as Orbitz, which allows you to cancel flights without penalty by 11pm Eastern Time within one day of booking. Remember: Fares may disappear quickly, so book right away and take advantage of Orbitz’s courtesy cancellation if you’re unable to travel. Additionally, keep in mind that discounted partner fares may not earn miles with US-based carriers.

Last week, we shared an excellent Delta fare from Los Angeles (and other US cities) to Tokyo, priced at just $391 round-trip. Believe it or not, that fare is still available, and now United's joining the cheap-NRT party with its own fantastic sale. The cheapest flights are on United and ANA's nonstops from Chicago, priced at just $435 round-trip, but you can also fly from many other US cities for $100-200 more.

Cost: $435+ round-trip in economy
