Q I am visiting Japan in the summer to attend the Olympics. I am travelling out by train! But I am returning by air on 9 August. When would you recommend purchasing the one-way flight from Tokyo to London now, to obtain best price, or nearer the time should prices fall?

A Congratulations on choosing to head for the Tokyo Olympics this summer by rail: travelling terrestrially for around 10,000 miles (depending on the route you have taken) will be a fabulous experience. By the time you reach the Japanese capital you will doubtless have many stories to tell.
