If you're thinking about planning your dream trip to Asia, you're in luck. We're seeing great sales to Asia from US cities such as Los Angeles (LAX), Boston (BOS) and Houston (IAH) starting at just $368 round-trip. The deals are available to cities like Bangkok (BKK), Tokyo (NRT), Phuket (HKT) and even cities we don't often see deals to, such as Seoul (ICN).

All fares are in economy, and some include long layovers in cities such as Singapore. US carriers, as well as Asian carriers, are included in the deal. Not all route combinations are discounted, so you may have to play around with your destination city to see what’s pricing low.

To search, head to Google Flights and enter your origin and destination cities. Scroll through the calendar function to find dates and prices that work for you. Finally, click through to book directly with the airline or an OTA like Orbitz or Expedia.
