An excellent Business Class fare to Japan with strong travel times
This is a very strong Business Class fare from Dublin to Osaka with Etihad Airways. Finding return Business Class flights to Japan from around €1,762–€1,815 is already attractive, but this deal becomes even better because the routing is clean, the travel times are sensible, and 35 kg check-in baggage is included.
The itinerary works well in both directions. The outbound has one stop in Abu Dhabi and arrives in Osaka at a very usable late-morning time, so you do not lose the first day to a painful middle-of-the-night arrival. The return also keeps things simple with one stop and lands back in Dublin in the morning.
Etihad is a very solid long-haul Business Class option, especially for travellers who want a more comfortable journey to Japan without paying the usual €2,500–€4,000 prices often seen on premium cabins. With lounge access, proper onboard service, better sleep and generous baggage, this is much more than just a cheap fare — it is a real comfort upgrade.
The only things to check carefully are the final fare class, exact aircraft type, seat layout, Abu Dhabi connection times and cancellation rules before booking. July, August and early September in Japan can also be hot and humid, so this is best for travellers who are comfortable with summer weather or planning a city, food and culture trip rather than a cool-season Japan itinerary.

Where to stay in Osaka
Osaka can be surprisingly affordable for accommodation, especially considering this is one of Japan’s most exciting big-city destinations. On sample searches, smaller apartments were available from around €30 per night — that is only around €15 per person when travelling as a couple.
Travellers looking for more comfort can also find well-rated and central hotels from approximately €70 per night. That makes this Business Class deal even more attractive: you can enjoy a premium flight experience to Japan without necessarily facing painful hotel costs once you arrive.
Osaka is also a fantastic base for a wider Japan trip. You can stay in the city for food, nightlife, shopping and culture, while using the train network for easy side trips to Kyoto, Nara, Kobe or even Hiroshima.
Hotel prices and availability can change quickly. Always check the final dates, location, reviews, room type, taxes, breakfast options and cancellation policy before booking.
