Squeeze in a Zipair trip to Japan before he turns 7. Their 6 year old fare is 6 inclusive and can be as low as $150. I would recommend spending as long as you can in Japan, do parts of the legs on the Shinkansen, and rent a car to hit the more off the path towns. When we went to Takayama, I very much regretted taking the train and not renting a car.
Europe is great. We were planning to go in Spring but we KEEP getting side tracked by Asia trips because we have to see people or do things.
We just booked our flights to Shanghai for March. We were originally going to fly direct there and back, but it was quite pricy with China Eastern. We've ended up booking 3 separate one way trips. Vancouver to Tokyo via Zip Air and staying a week, Tokyo to Shanghai via China Eastern, coming back direct with AC (ugh, but their flight time is better than CE). This was all cheaper than flying direct with CE.
