I'm a student trying to go from Canada -> China -> Taiwan -> Japan -> China -> Canada while staying in each place for at least 2-3 weeks. I've been using Google flights and rome2rio but I'm having trouble finding reasonable prices.
It seems like China -> Taiwan -> Japan -> China will cost at least $1500 CAD in airfare itself, but I don't have the experience to know where to find cheaper alternatives.
Can anyone give any suggestions? (just for airfare)
Thanks so much!
Vanilla Air lists a fare to Taipei from Tokyo of ¥6990 (roughly $60 USD).
Most of the low cost carriers (lcc) in Japan maintain their own ticketing infrastructure, and tickets are hard to find outside of that. The carrier to choose for the Tokyo->China leg would depend on the city you're headed to in China; and, if you wanted to leave from Tokyo or another city. The same site has Hong Kong fares from ¥8890 ($80 USD); but, if you want to go to the mainland, you'd need to find a different carrier.
(edited to add) Vanilla Air has some not-so-flattering reviews, so, caveat emptor and all that. The linked site has some good English information on all of the LCC in Japan.
