Flying business class from Asia to London or New York is expensive, but a new index highlights large differences in the cost of buying a ticket in different Asian cities.

Tokyo, one of the world's expensive places to live, is the cheapest city in Asia to purchase a round-trip business class ticket, according to the latest Julius Baer Lifestyle Index, at an average cost of $3,932 - well below the regional average of $5,719.

The Index, which tracks a basket of luxury goods in U.S. dollar terms in 11 Asian cities, took the average cost of a round trip, full fare business class flight to London and New York on five separate airlines.

Seoul was the most expensive at $7,712 ahead of Hong Kong at $7,180 and Shanghai at $6,915.

From biz class to Botox

In addition to business class tickets, the Index tracks the cost of a variety of luxury items including botox, high-end wine, Louboutin pumps and a Rolex watch among other discretionary goods.

The Index fell by 5.3 percent in U.S. dollar terms in 2014, reflecting depreciation in Asian currencies over the past year.
