Flight from Los Angeles to Tokyo Narita Airport

MitchellFlew with United Airlines-Sep 2026

Immigration and customs upon arrival at NRT airport Tokyo took 1.5 hours - so drink water or bring a bottle for the humid long lines. Once through that, went very smooth. Took an Uber to downtown Tokyo hotel - since it was commute times, took 1.5 hours; but overall was a good experience at the end of a long travel day.

I bought an eSIM and didn’t work because my phone is already locked to one, perhaps another way to purchase a data plan to get cellular access in your destination.

BeldanFlew with Japan Airlines-Mar 2026

make sure to file any medication permission for things like ADHD meds or opiates for pain management early, so you don't need to rush.

Verified travelerFlew with ANA-Dec 2025

LAX checking in was quick and the connecting flight was the adjacent gate so it was very convenient.

MikeFlew with United Airlines-Feb 2026

I wish it was clearer about carry-on baggage rules for Basic Economy (international). The app said "No carry on bags allowed" but actually it was Narita-LAX-Narita so carry on was OK. It caused some problems deciding how to pack. Maybe have a video at the gate while people are waiting about the QR-code customs declaration and transport options? (I don't need these personally, I've lived in Japan for 20 years)

BryanFlew with ANA-Feb 2026

Check your operating carrier. It seems like ANA is operated by United, so you would essentially be paying for United Airlines service (supposedly 3 stars) as opposed to the 5 star ANA service.

Verified travelerFlew with Singapore Airlines-Mar 2025

Stand up and move around at least every 2 hours

TFlew with ZIPAIR-Nov 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.

TedFlew with American Airlines-Aug 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!

HughFlew with Singapore Airlines-Jun 2024

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