Anyone smart enough to figure out how 2 friends and I can get from Boston to Tokyo for $800 RT?

Take your $800 and go all in on 7-2 offsuit.

Honestly, if he or his friends are any good at poker, Online Poker is their absolute best bet to increase the money they have. Playing safely, they could probably make over a thousand in the month they have left.

You actually thought I was expecting to pay $800 for ALL 3 of us?

I don't think you'll do much better than this, mid-June is expensive but still early but mid-July is starting to hit the expensive season (I've paid $1600 for a roundtrip from BOS to Osaka in Aug).

Try a boat or ship.

Using Cheapfares.com, I found a roundtrip flight from LAX to Tokyo June 15th to July 18th for $685.70.
Using Greyhound.com, if you purchase a week in advance, you can get a one-way bus trip from Boston to Los Angeles leaving on June 11th for $119.00.

So, that will get you from Boston to LA to Tokyo and back to LA for $804.70.

Of course, if you want to make it back to Boston, you'll need to drop another bus fare of $119 or so... or hitchhike.

With the way you worded your title, I wouldn't be surprised if everyone who read it interpreted it to mean $800 for all three. Adding "per person" at the end would help immensely.
