It’s on the Qantas Site, and WOTIF also!!!!! Prob elsewhere!!!!!

Cheers mate, I’d had a look at the Qantas site but could only see $1999 flights listed. Early Jan would have been tempting so I might have dodged a bullet!

 

Hey guys, I’ve only ever planned a trip to NZ and that was through ozsnow so I would appreciate any help.

I’m looking at the fyve japan camp, which looks like a pretty good deal - especially for my girlfriend and buddy who haven’t got snowboards and will get one free. I’ve never been to Japan and being around people who know the area would be nice.

Has anyone here been on one of the camps? $2400 for 2 weeks seems like a decent deal for what is advertised.

I’ve also just realized that flights from Brisbane to Tokyo are on sale with quantas for $1050 for another 5 days - should I buy them or will it get cheaper later in the year? I’d rather rush and buy them than have to pay $1800 later on.

Welcome to BW, lamdan!!!!!

Saw a heap of crew that were on their way home from last years camp, and they all seemed stoked on it!!!!! After all, it is in Japan!!!!!

Just remember that flights to Tokyo still need a connectin flight to Chitose!!!!!

Have ya spoke to Deep Powder Tours about flight prices?????

I’d be searchin/askin for deals that go BRIS > TOKYO > SAPPORO!!!!!

Hey there!

I did ask DPT about flights and was told $1550 all the way through to to Sapporo, and that some cheaper flights were available from the gold coast, but it would mean I’d have to stay overnight in Tokyo for the connecting flight.

However, looking at the Qantas website under specials, it appears that I can be in Tokyo first thing in the morning ($1050 return) and connecting flights seem to run all day. Connecting flights for tourists seem to be around $100.with that tourism deal Japan has.

But then if I search Qantas Brisbane - Sapporo all the way through it jumps up to like 2400 O.O

It’s a bit confusing

$100 connecting flights sound cheap?????

What luggage do ya get with those?????

Are they JAL?????

By the time ya all done addin everythin on, the $1550 with QANTAS is probably a realistic price, as it will include 30KG of Luggage, allow ya to take ya board, etc!!!!!

They could go even cheaper than that, but waitin is always the risk ya take!!!!!

Plus while the o’nite to Tokyo knocks the shit out of ya, it does allow for HEAPS of time to get from TOKYO > Chitose > Niseko!!!!! So it is a god option!!!!!

They did have $1300 deals last month * End June 30th, from 16th Feb * $1400 Jan - 15th Feb, SYD > Chitose, so ya can always ask if they can match somethin similar?????

Sorry that I’m not to familiar with the costs from BRIS!!!!!
