Editorial snapshot
Flying to Saipan rewards the traveller who plans ahead. Fares from Tokyo and Seoul are the sharpest entry points, and booking six to eight weeks out typically secures the best prices before Japanese Golden Week or Chinese New Year push them up. The destination suits divers, history buffs, and anyone who wants a Pacific island without the Bali crowds. It is not a budget backpacker stop.

February, May, June, September, and November through December are the sweet spots for Northern Mariana Islands travel. The dry season runs roughly December through June, with February being the coolest and calmest month. Avoid late summer if typhoons concern you; July through September sits squarely in peak cyclone season, which also inflates last-minute fares.
