Over the past three months, 79% of ANA flights from Chicago to Tokyo Narita Airport arrived on time, slightly above the route average of 78%. When flights on this route arrive late, they're delayed by an average of 2h 13m, so choosing an airline with strong on-time performance can make a difference if you're on a tight schedule.
  • If you have the time, taking a 1-stop flight through Houston George Bush Intcntl Airport (IAH) can be cheaper than flying direct. The cheapest layover option averages $930 round-trip on this route - about $441 less than direct flights (based on the last 12 months).
