Prices start from this figure. What you pay depends on your travel dates, the airline and how many seats are left, and we confirm your exact fare on your quote — here is how we work these out.
Quick answer
Which UK airport is cheapest for business class to Tokyo?
Glasgow, on current guide fares — not London. Our Tokyo ladder puts Glasgow at the bottom and London fourth of the five departures, which is the reverse of what most people expect on a Japan route.
The five sit within a fairly narrow band, so this is a reason to ask rather than a reason to drive north. What it does mean is that starting outside London costs you less here than the usual assumption suggests.
Our lowest indicative business class guide fare to Tokyo is £2,311 return from Glasgow (GLA), checked.
Ask us to price your own airport against London rather than assuming London wins.

Starting prices by UK departure airport

Tokyo is one of the routes where our own figures argue against the obvious answer, and it is worth a paragraph before you accept that London is where a Japan trip has to start.
Glasgow at the bottom, London fourth
Business class to Tokyo is £2,311 return from Glasgow (GLA), checked.
The order is the interesting part. Glasgow is the cheapest departure and London is fourth of five — on a route where almost every traveller assumes London is both the obvious departure and the cheapest one.
Read it with proportion, though. The spread across all five is £228, which is tight for a flight of this length. This is not a reason to travel to Scotland to save money. It is a reason to have us price your actual airport instead of defaulting.
Which Tokyo airport, and why it matters
Our fare is to Narita (NRT). Tokyo is served by more than one airport, and they are not near each other or near the city in the same way.
That is a question to settle before the ticket rather than after it. A booking screen will happily show you "Tokyo" without telling you which airport you have bought, and the difference can be an hour or more of ground travel at the end of a very long flight. Tell us where in Tokyo you are actually going and we will price the arrival that suits it.
The first class figure
The current first class guide fare to Tokyo is £5,412, against £2,311 in business — one of the widest gaps between the two cabins of any destination we cover.
A wide gap is not in itself a warning. On a route where first class seats are scarce and expensive, it is what you would expect. It does mean the figure is a guide rather than a quote, and that you should ask what is actually bookable on your dates before planning around it.
Tokyo, Osaka and the rest of the region
If Japan rather than Tokyo is the trip, business class flights to Osaka sets out the Kansai side of it — including why the two are a different journey rather than a different price.
If Tokyo is one stop on a wider Asian itinerary, Hong Kong, Singapore and Bangkok are the arrivals most often combined with it, and an open-jaw usually beats two returns.
Before you book Tokyo
- Ask for your own airport to be priced against London rather than assuming.
- Confirm which Tokyo airport the itinerary uses before you book anything on the ground.
- Treat the first class figure as a guide and ask what is bookable on your dates.
- If Osaka is also on the trip, say so before the fare is built, not after.
- Ask what cabin any connecting sector is, if your itinerary connects.
Tokyo puts Glasgow at the bottom of its UK ladder and London fourth of five. Our guide to business class across Asia sets out where that pattern repeats.
FAQs
What do travellers ask about business class to Tokyo?
Prefer to talk? +447348617176 .
How much is business class to Tokyo from the UK?
Business class starts from £2,311 return, departing Glasgow (GLA), checked. The five UK departures sit within £228 of each other.
Is London really not the cheapest departure for Tokyo?
Not on current guide fares. Glasgow is the cheapest departure and London is fourth of the five. The band is narrow, so treat it as a reason to have us price your own airport rather than as a reason to travel to Scotland.
Which Tokyo airport will I fly into?
The arrival is Narita (NRT). Tokyo has more than one airport and a booking screen may simply say "Tokyo", so confirm which one your itinerary uses before you arrange anything at the other end.
Why is the first class fare to Tokyo so much higher than business?
The multiple between the two is among the widest of any destination we cover. On a route where first class seats are scarce that is unsurprising, but it makes the figure a guide rather than a quote — ask us what is actually bookable on your dates.
Should I fly to Tokyo or Osaka?
They are a different journey rather than a different price. Our Osaka page sets out the Kansai side of the decision in full, including the fact that Osaka has no UK nonstop. If your trip covers both, tell us and we will look at an open-jaw.
Can I combine Tokyo with another Asian city?
Commonly, yes. Hong Kong, Singapore and Bangkok are the arrivals most often paired with Tokyo, and an open-jaw — in to one, out of another — is usually a better ticket than two separate returns.
How wide is the gap between UK departures for Tokyo?
Narrow. The spread across all five is £228, which is tight for a flight of this length and one of the flatter ladders we publish for an Asian destination.
Are these Tokyo fares guaranteed?
No. They are dated indicative guide fares, checked, and subject to availability. If the fare has moved we send current options rather than repeating an old figure.
What should a Tokyo quote actually name?
Your UK departure, the Tokyo airport by name and code, dates, the operating airline on each sector, the cabin, the aircraft on the long sector, baggage and the fare rules.
