TFlew with ZIPAIRSFO-NRTNov 2024

Haneda is closer to the city center, so fly there if you can. Zipair has by far the best rates, but try to book early and pick a seat so you’re not stuck in a middle seat.

GeoffFlew with Japan AirlinesSFO-NRTNov 2024

Fly JAL! No regrets - check-in, gate & flight experiences were flawless. Ticket prices for my last trip were just as low as ZipAir.

MartinFlew with Japan AirlinesLAX-NRTSep 2024

Pay the extra money to fly the Japanese carriers, so worth it

Verified travelerFlew with Japan AirlinesLAX-HNDOct 2024

If you are connecting to a domestic flight in Japan allow at least 2-3 hours between flights. Immigration at Haneda is very slow . They are now fingerprinting and photographing all international passengers. Doesn’t help if you used the Japan website for preclearance or not, same line either way.

GeorgeFlew with Japan AirlinesLAX-KIXNov 2024

Select a different plane if possible. Seats were very uncomfortable.

TedFlew with American AirlinesSAN-NRTAug 2024

If you can fly JAL direct from San Diego to Tokyo, I would do it. The time you save with no layover or dealing with an unfamiliar airport more than makes up the difference in price. Once you fly direct, you'll understand!

Verified travelerFlew with Japan AirlinesLAX-KIXJul 2024

Enjoy the easy flight. Be prepared for the tram/train at Kansai.

HughFlew with Singapore AirlinesLAX-NRTJun 2024

Arrive early, have a small carry-on, maybe a large bottle of water.

Verified travelerFlew with ANASFO-HNDMar 2024

I remember Air France had really good boarding and entertaining flight instructions. My last ANA flight in October 2019 was also really good — with Singapore airlines. My only recommendation is for ANA to discontinue using UNITED airline jets and meal services. There are valid reasons why Americans don’t want to fly on UNITED for international flights.

Verified travelerFlew with Japan AirlinesLAX-HNDApr 2024

Get your seat ahead of time especially for elderly. Who need to get in and out of the seat to stretch.

greggacadFlew with ANALAX-NRTMay 2024

check in online, get all your papers or documents in order, for faster processing.

I don’t know. That was my first time with Japan Airlines. Every airlines has their flaws and I was just pointing out some concerns I’d noticed.

GaryFlew with ZIPAIRLAX-NRTMay 2024

It’s all about perspective at the end of the day.

supakyFlew with Japan AirlinesLAX-HNDMay 2024
