Tokyo in December for under £500 return is enough to get Goose eyeing up the Christmas lights in Shibuya. The standout here is the baggage allowance too — two checked bags are included, making this especially useful if Japan shopping is part of the plan.

December can be a brilliant time to visit Tokyo. The city goes big on winter illuminations, the weather is generally cooler and drier, and you’ve got countless options for adding Kyoto, Osaka, Hakone or other parts of Japan onto the trip.
Current searches are showing December as one of the cheaper periods for Gatwick–Tokyo flights, although comparable fares have already moved above £500 on some dates.
What’s included
- Return flights from London Gatwick

- Fares from £470pp
That two-bag allowance is a particularly nice perk on a Japan trip — especially once you discover Don Quijote, Japanese stationery and how much space boxes of snacks take up in a suitcase.
Good to know
These fares are likely to involve at least one stop, as there are currently no direct services between Gatwick and Tokyo.
Check the exact airline, Tokyo arrival airport, connection times and baggage weight allowance for your chosen fare before booking. Prices at this level can disappear quickly when the cheapest seats are taken.
