Insights shared by verified travelers who flew the route from California to Tokyo 
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.
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!
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.

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.
