Flights £1,375 + hotel £556 + resort fee £46, taxes in · a checked bag each adds about £121
CZ + MM · with a stop · 53h 20m
The catch: There are two stops, and the outbound takes 53h 20m: you land at 6:10 AM Sunday, Nov 29, so two of the 5 hotel nights pass in transit.
Worth it if a long two-stop journey is fine for autumn Kyoto at this fare; skip it if you want more time on the ground than in transit.
