I think it will be very difficult to secure anything other than economy or premium economy flights for summer 2025. Qatar, JAL or Finnair have plenty of options.

I would seriously avoid going in summer (June to October). My colleagues who normally don’t mind the humidity complained that it was unbearable this year. This isn’t your typical destination because humidity among concrete and glass buildings the humidity is felt differently. Predictions are that the Autumn foliage this year won’t start until very late November/early December as a result of heat and you can expect 30+ degrees throughout October.
