If you’re looking to take advantage of the weak yen to shop in Japan, the JAL fare that includes 3 kg of checked baggage (about 3 kg) is perfect for you. The Japanese yen has continued to depreciate recently, sparking a boom in Japan tourism and making Japan-related travel products at the fair especially popular.
