Hello everyone. With the rise of fuel costs due to blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, and with no end to that situation being in sight, I have been wondering whether I should book my October flight to Japan soon to avoid possibly even higher fares.
For context, I am a 22M American, who is planning to move to Tokyo this October to attend a language school for at least a year through a student visa. I live in the Washington D.C. area and I've seen the direct fare from D.C. to Tokyo with ANA double the last two months. I know the future cannot be predicted, but I worry that fares will be even more expensive in the coming months.
I have been accepted by the language school, however they told me I won't get the COE response until late August. I don't expect any complications from immigration, but just putting that out there. Would it be a good idea to purchase tickets now, or wait closer to August? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
