Flights
Air travel accommodations for the 21st century.
If your airfare will be paid for by the host, you will need to discuss the details of how to book your flight with them. If the flight will be paid for by the MIT-Japan Program, students must purchase tickets themselves, and the MIT-Japan Program will add the cost of the ticket to their stipend (up to a maximum amount based on average round-trip Boston to Tokyo economy class tickets at the time. If the ticket price exceeds that amount, the student will be responsible for the extra cost).

For summer internships, most students book flights in April/May after they have confirmed their summer internships dates.
-
If your total stay is fewer than 90 days and you do not require an entry visa, you may be able to stay in Japan to travel after your internship ends (at your expense)
- Student Universe is a travel website for students with well-priced tickets.

Tip: You can join a flight rewards program with your airline to earn miles for the long flight!
