On the other hand, NRT, another Tokyo airport, is great if you’re visiting Chiba prefecture or passing through with an international flight.

  • If you can plan ahead, the sweet spot for booking your flight is 20 weeks before your trip. KAYAK data shows fares in this window are around 33% lower than last-minute bookings (made within 2 weeks of departure). Not ready to commit? Set a Price Alert and we'll let you know when prices change.
  • If your travel dates are flexible, book your trip for January when flights are typically cheapest and avoid December when prices are at their highest.
  • Flying on Monday is usually the cheapest. Flights on Saturday cost about 13% more on average, so being flexible with your travel dates could help you save.
  • If you're looking to save, Hakodate (HKD) is the cheapest airport to fly into from Atlanta. If you have onward travel, don't forget to factor in the cost of your journey by train, bus or domestic flight.
  • Start your trip in Tokyo, which is the most popular destination in Japan. From there, it's easy to continue on to other popular destinations such as Osaka, Kyoto and Sapporo.
  • If you want the shortest trip, choose the Atlanta to Japan nonstop route. If you'd rather save money, the route via Houston George Bush Intcntl (IAH) is usually the cheapest.
  • Airports in Japan are designated first-class, second-class, or third-class, depending on the role they play. Consider flying into first-class airports such as Narita International Airport (NRT) and Kansai International Airport (KIX), since they serve as a hub for both domestic and international travel, and you can get to many destinations from first-class airports.
  • Most flights from Atlanta to Japan and vice versa operate in the late evening or early morning, so passengers can leave the airport late at night and arrive at their destination in the early morning.
  • New Chitose Airport (CTS) and Fukuoka Airport (FUK) serve as hubs for those flying to Hokkaido Island in the North and Kyushu Island in the south. You can get to these destinations by taking a flight from Tokyo.
  • If you’d like to save money on your flight from Atlanta to Japan, consider booking an open-jaw ticket, where you fly into one city and leave through another. This will save you costly backtracking across the country, and some airlines offer discounts if you use them to fly on domestic routes in Japan.
  • If you’ll be flying to other Asian countries through Japan, consider booking a flight to NRT, which offers more international flight options than other Japan airports.

Airline reviews

I booked with a traveling agency 1 year in advance. The company then changed our flights trying to shorten our stay months out from our departure that would cause us to significantly change our itinerary especially as a part of a larger group who had already purchased events for the trip. Not only will I never use KAYAK or ARANGANT again, I will never fly with American Airlines again. They did their utmost to ruin our first flight to Japan by turning every flight into an arduous ordeal. The flight home took 48 hours riddled with extended delays and multiple layovers. If you want to to ruin your trip use these companies that take your money and then choose the most inconvenient flights so that they can keep the profits for themselves. Worst experience is ever. Just book the flights yourself. The “savings” are not worth the headaches. Just delete the app altogether.

Dreamliner is an excellent aircraft. Great seats in business. Flight attendant Alex had a bored, sullen attitude in serving customers. Difficult to get his attention and very slow to respond to a simple request for water. Spoiled the experience a bit as the AA motto is “we’re here because of you”. Attitude needs some adjustment!

The best part was the staff. They are kind and gracious and made it a good flight.

Reasonable price, great service, highly recommended. i arrived well rested!

Since I traveled on my birthday, they gave me a gift and a card. How thoughtful and caring.

Our flight was canceled, then they moved us to a different flight number yet we didn’t receive notifications timely. We had to find out the latest on our own / later AA sent a text with the updated info..

They didn't tell me they changed my flight. So I got confused on what happened to my flight.

It was good overall. What I liked most was the restrooms. Compared to other airlines, the restrooms seem larger and look clean. The seats also look clean. The attendants are nice, except one time during the flight. I was sitting on aisle and a man sitting window. He asked an attendant for a snack. She told him to go ahead and get some snack from the section with food storage (I am not sure how it is called). So, I had to get up to let him get out from his seat. Why she did not bring him some snacks so that I would not have to move, I do not know... I was kind of surprised how inconsiderate the attendant was.

Overall, it was ok. The attendants are nice. It was a short flight, and I did not use the restrooms. What I was frustrated was the check-in. I was to fly from ATL to Chicago (American) then change to Japan Airline to go to Japan. I checked in, but I only got a boarding pass for the flight from Atlanta to Chicago. It said I would need to check in for a flight to Japan on Japan Airline site. When I tried to check in on JAL website, it said I need to check in American... It was very confusing.

JOKE of a company with the most Ridiculous policies. JAL is amazing, KAYAK/UNDERPRICER is the worst company I have ever dealt with, NEVER AGAIN

On time, food was great. Didn’t wake me up when they saw me sleeping and as soon as I used the toilet, they came up and asked me if I wanted dinner. Right on!

I was expecting to fly in a Japanese airline because that what I bought, very disappointed finding out the change of airline without any explanation.

Excellent. There were setbacks, but it had nothing to do with the crew. Mostly, mechanical which delayed our flight.

It was so disappointed trip by unexpected company's fault delay. It had taken 3 hours delay for mechanical maintenance plus another 3 hours for bad weather.

SEA HND sector internet only worked for the last 2.5hrs of flight….. never had this kind of incident with other airlines

12 of the 14 hours were in the dark, all during daylight. Didn’t use my light because it disturbed other people it was illuminating. 14 hours sitting upright in a cramped space was horrible.

I’ve always had pleasant experiences with ANA and that has made me a loyal customer.

UA discouraged people to choose seat on economy class by charging about three times of another airlines. For example, ANA will charge USD60 to choose an aisle seat but UA is charging USD 219.

Roomy airlines. Friendly staff. Timely service. Temp was warm during the flight.

It was ok I thought because my flight was 1pm i was expecting to have lunch but it didn’t and after 7 hr finally dinner time was only chicken sandwich and next breakfast was an hour before plane land in Tokyo. so I should bring some food with me. Japanese flight attend was nice but the other was chewing gum and how she ask and respond to customers was not professional I felt. Maybe because Japan flight attendant is highly train and everyone looked very dress and professional so I was kind disappointed. I like that the bathroom was very clean .

Everything was great, from the flight and crew to the seating and snacks.

After boarding the plane had to wait an hour at the for the copilot to show up before we could depart

There was overbooking that delayed boarding. Then an airport emergency lockdown that caused further delays in boarding. However the time was made up during flight and there was a minimal delay in landing. Everything else was excellent.

It was the hottest flight I’ve been on in a long time. The female flight attendants were not nice.

The flight was freezing cold. I had on pants and a sweatshirt, had to wrap up in the blanket provided AND put on my rain coat, and was still chilly. Have never been on such a cold plane.

They changed my seat assignment from window to middle. I have a physical need to sit by the window because of spinal issues. I unboarded in pain, I also was placed between 2 very large men. I am very disappointed and now dealing with the physical aftermath.

The crew were awesome and ready to help as much as possible. The gate agent in Atlanta was tremendously helpful. The delays were ridiculous. Getting home at 4am when I could have driven home faster was unimpressive. Being delayed for countless hours through the night wasn't a great travel experience.

I didn't really interact with any of the crew since we had a bumpy ride and no refreshments were distributed.

My flight experience was generally good, but the boarding process was stressful. I was pulled out of line at the gate during the photo ID check, and after being cleared, I was never given an explanation for the delay despite asking for clarification. This lack of communication was the only downside to an otherwise smooth trip.

I’ve been on this flight 4 times in the last year for work and the food never changes and always has my stomach upset by the end of the flight. The cold salad with dinner is never a fan favorite with my traveling team.

I did bought anything… I don’t understand how this book appears to me . Ridiculous

I had a terrible experience. My flight got delayed from Atlanta to Chicago on Monday April 6, 2026, and that led to me missing my next flight to Brussels. United Airlines didn’t provide me with any accommodation for shelter. I had to sleep at the airport in Chicago. The next flight I was put on didn’t leave until the evening hours of Tuesday 4/7/2026.

Just a bad day to fly. Flight was delayed from scheduled 6:50 pm departure to 8:50 pm. Combination of factors mostly related to weather at the destination airport (which is where the incoming flight originated) which delayed the inbound flight over an hour. Once on board, we taxied but had to hold again on the taxiway for 10 minutes or so. We did not get wheels up until after 9 pm. The flight was smooth but about 18 minutes from our destination, we had to hold for several minutes more due to weather at ORD. We finally landed at ORD about 11:08 pm (accounting for the time difference, that was about a 3 hour delay from our scheduled departure time). It felt like we were never going to get to our destination. But the flight crew and attendants were very good. The movie selection onboard was also very nice. Got to watch half of a movie just during our taxi from the gate at ATL due to the delay!

Everything was great except for the boarding process. Everyone is lining up all at the same time and it’s hard to tell between the groups as they are way too large.

Gate agent at Frankfurt was terrible. She denied PRE boarding even as it was printed on the boarding pass. Refused to look at the boarding pass and literally shouting for no reason. Frankfurt airport has horrible and rude staff who avoids trying to answer any question at all. Overall, horrible experience.

Excellent experience. Starting with the agent at the Premier bag drop who noticed I was very early for my scheduled flight and offered to rebook me on an earlier flight with my seat preference. She would not let me leave the counter until she knew that all of the changes and new boarding pass showed up on my United app. At the gate, the flight boarded quickly such that we departed early and the flight was smooth. We arrived 20 minutes early at ORD and I was able to be home in time for dinner. One of the best flights I've had.

Cramped seat even in economy plus seat 10A. Over booked flight, no space for the bags

The agents was very rude and they charged me $50 for a carry-on bag saying that it was too big and then I saw someone going on a plane with the same size bag as me

Great onboard crew. Boarding was a zoo, I got in line before pre boarding in Group 2, still had my bag force checked. WiFi was glitchy all flight. Seat and bathroom are both tiny unless you pay $$$ for first class.

The passenger in the row in front of me was listening to a political speech on his phone at full volume with no headphones and it was disturbing all of the passengers around him for several rows. I asked 2 of the flight attendants to speak to this passenger but they only shrugged. It was obvious that they were afraid there might be conflict and would not say anything. I had to take it upon myself to tell the passenger that he needed to turn it off or wear headphones as it was disturbing everyone around him not wearing their own headphones. I was very disappointed in the United flight attendants.

After waiting for hours of delays, the flight was canceled. We missed our flight to Iceland from Toronto. We tried for hours to get a reasonable replacement flight, but it was the next day before we could even schedule another flight days later. We had to cancel our anniversary trip because we could not get to Iceland on time to keep our reservations. We won’t be flying Air Canada again as they just don’t have the infrastructure to deal with cancellations.

They did not let us board because one member needed a transit visa, which was not evident at the time of ticket purchase.

The plane was dirty. It appeared that Air Canada did not know vacuum cleaners had been invented. Second, the overhead bins were about 1/3 or 1/2 the size of "normal" bins. That was a problem. The worst was disembarking in the weather in Montreal. I have cold agglutinin disease. That means my red blood cells clump together and then are destroyed when exposed, even by breathing to cold air. A few seconds of exposure can be dangerous. I am now experiencing extreme fatigue caused by the anemia from that experience. I should have had more assistance descending a narrow ramp and then traversing, even if only a few feet, of icy pavement. The blowing snow penetrated my facial covering and has caused problems.

Crew was rushed to get food out and left trash for a long time on our tables.

The entire aircraft was outfitted with comfortable business-class seats that featured luxurious reclining capabilities and built-in footrests for added relaxation during the flight.

Nice small trip, No food included in ticket, but beverages were for free.

Entertainment was not working. No free snacks. Seats weren’t comfortable

Getting on the flight we booked would’ve been nice to begin with. Nope, they cancelled the 10 am flight. Herded everyone on to the 5 pm flight which got delayed twice. Basically made it to our hotel at 11 pm. So we lost our entire day in Toronto. Paid around $500 Canadian dollars to spend the night in downtown!! While they save a boat load of cash herding everyone on to the 2 evening flights.

Air Canada cancelled our flight the night before and rescheduled us for a flight 32 hours later than our initial flight. That would have made us miss our events in St. Johns and throw off the rest of our weeks plans. We cancelled our flights and the entire week in Newfoundland. Also want a complete refund not a credit.

We were on a Canadian fishing expedition, and Air Canada lost our Sport Fishing Bag. They said it was delayed and said it would be delivered that night, but that never happened, and we haven't seen it yet, which is 5 days later. We had to rent fishing gear to enjoy our trip. We are extremely disappointed with Air Canada oversize luggage personnel. With the sport bad and 6 rods and reels, we are out over $1500.
