Hey guys, so incredibly I think I can use my United frequent flyer miles for my ticket. Right now I am looking at a nonstop flight (United 803, returning flight 804) from Dulles to Narita leaving March 25th (arriving 26th) and coming home July 31st. How does that sound to you guys? I know Greg wants to take ANA, but I'm definitely leaning towards this since I have the miles for it, why not? However, I don't know what the normal cost of this ticket is, so I don't know if it's within reason for you. But another bonus is, there are tons of seats open right now, including bunches next to each other (they have our names on them I swear)
Okay, I am going to look up the price of this flight normally.
Oh, crap. So prices for this and others like this are around $1921 and up. Which is pricey. Yikes.
So....I can't say that I will be booking with you guys, if you're looking for something else, because I know this is a lot to pay, but it works out best for me to use my miles since I've been saving them up for forever.
Wait, but that was on the United site, let me check student ticket cost...
Okay, student price is $1217...which may actually be comparable to ANA or something. So not as bad, but also not the $875 and $966 prices I've found for these dates as well (flying Northwest mainly though).
So alright, let me know what you guys think. Thanks for sticking through my whole thought/search process here haha. I'm still willing to work with you all because it'd be awesome to all travel together, but now my preference is United. But I guess my travel dates are also more flexible now since it probably won't make a huge price difference for me.

Jeez, I hate Northwest. I don't really care about flying ANA if we can get things that much cheaper... so... anyway, those student prices are from those websites and are on the same flight...? And, did you check dates around those two for cheap tickets? Maybe I'll just check it out myself when I can get to it, which won't be until tomorrow night at the earliest, probably just later this weekend.
it's $1,922 per person on cheaptickets. I'm leaning towards saying let's go for it and get a flight, it'll probably be better than Northwest =) And there's 9 seats left on student universe.
Yeah, the student prices I listed are from studentuniverse.com; it's basically THE place you should book tickets, anytime I've looked, it has the cheapest since it's aimed for students. And the 1200 something price I listed was for the same flight (so actually cheaper than booking through United itself).
I didn't play around with dates too much. I figure we're pretty set on March 25th? That's also when Teresa will be arriving I believe. "Exams" end on July 30th, so I think leaving July 31st would be fine...I don't know what you all think. But I personally also don't want to deal with extending my stay at DK.
