Flights from Kansai Intl to Los Angeles: the best tips from KAYAK users' own experiences

Insights shared by verified travelers who flew the route from Kansai Intl to Los Angeles 
Verified travelerFlew with Japan Airlines-Jul 2026
If traveling JA bring your own seat padding like a sweater or blanket. Customs and security in Osaka was super fast with facial recognition so you don’t need to arrive to airport super early but if you do they basically have a mall in tbe terminal to keep you busy for hours and spend any left over Yen
Verified travelerFlew with Japan Airlines-Jun 2026
Japan Airlines is a difficult airline to check-in on both the app and on-line. It is best to to call and have them walk you through their process. Know that they have limited hours for customer service and may be open only Monday - Friday. Highly suggest that you visit Visit Japan Website and Register for Immigration and Customs.
