Definitely double check that the plane is actually what you're expecting. If it says it's operated by a different airline, treat it as THAT airline, not the one selling tickets.

Reserve seats in advance. This is an air ticket worth paying for, even if the price is slightly higher. The standard is consistent. Do book your layover accommodation in advance. I booked upin arrival and only got a more expensive option. Otherwise, I enjoyed very much flying with ANA and will choose it again.

FAQs - booking Japan flights

  • Do I need a visa to fly from Washington to Japan?

    Yes, a visa is one of the required documents for US citizens to be allowed past immigration. The country doesn’t provide visas upon arrival, so the onus is on you to ensure that you have successfully applied and been granted a visa from the embassy prior to taking the flight from Washington to Japan.

  • Where can I exchange currency at Washington Dulles Airport?

    To be able to transact easier while in Japan, you will need to exchange a few US Dollars for the Japanese Yen. IAD has multiple currency exchanges where you can facilitate this exchange easily. ICE Currency Exchange has set up shop in the Terminal Upper level near the ticketing booth and post-security in Concourses A, B, C, and D.

  • Which airport in Japan is closest to Tokyo?

    The capital city of Japan, Tokyo, has two major international airports serving it. These airports include Narita International Airport (NRT) and Haneda Airport (HND). If you’re heading to the capital, you should consider booking a flight that lands at HND since it is closer than Narita Airport. You should also know that HND is a cheaper airport to fly to compared to NRT, but NRT has the better facilities and amenities of the two airports.

    If you need to get a rental car to allow you to move around the area with ease, you will be happy to know that HND Airport has a dedicated rental car center where you can choose from a wide range of rental cars.

Top tips for finding cheap flights to Japan

  • Japan has an efficient public transport system that the locals use to get from one place to another. To use public transport more conveniently, you should get a Japan Rail Pass or JR Tokyo Wide Area Pass so that you won’t have to pay to use the train every time.
  • Taking a taxi is often a good idea if you’re running late and need to get to Dulles International Airport (IAD) as quickly as possible. They are easily available all over the city and will drop you off outside the departure terminal.
  • To enjoy the lounge facilities at IAD Airport, consider booking your flight with United Airlines or Turkish Airlines. These are the only airlines with a lounge at the airport and also offer flights to Japan.
  • The Washington Dulles Airport Marriot is a great place to stay when you are flying out of IAD. Being the only hotel inside the airport, you’ll be less than five minutes away from the main terminal when you spend the night here.
  • When booking connecting flights, please go for the ones with an automatic transfer option. This is because the alternative, a self-transfer, will require you to check yourself and your luggage into each flight.

On time. Convenience of a small airport. Excellent service from staff at check-in.

LAX to San Francisco under UA was sooooo stressful! Flights was delayed and no assistance from the airline to the next flight. Flew UA twice and both flights highly distressful.

The food was terrible and totally inedible. If you are flying with ANA/United bring your own food it was a long flight to be hingry

I thought I bought the ticket directly through Kayak not a 3rd party

I like that we made it faster than regularly scheduled. Everything else was poor. The boarding was slow and chaotic. One person was screaming instructions to people that didn’t understand and there was only one camera so boarding was slow. The crew was not very friendly and one stewardess was extremely rude to everyone the entire flight. The food was not good and not themed to the country we were going to like every international flight I’ve taken. Lastly the seats were awful. After this flight I would never recommend United and will actively avoid booking another flight through them.

When I checked in, it printed two bag tags. The helper said they would cancel the other. They canceled both and my bag was left behind

It was really fast to Tokyo. Much faster than the budget carriers. However a lot less space than international flights.

The ladies are great seats should be a little bigger!

Couple of hours delayed, we had to re-booked our Shinkansen reservation twice. United Aiines need to improve their time!

The check-in started 3 minutes early; there were people lining up a half hour before. I was third, and I got checked in and passes in hand for my connection as well; I walked away from the desk one minute before it was even supposed to be open. Amazing. That said, the food on the first leg of my trip was not good, and I didn’t finish it. Second leg, it was tasty. You get a cup of Häagen-Dazs after dinner. The staff were polite and helpful. Will use again.

Reasonable fair, good service, in sum, I am very happy!

Courteous crew and effective service on-board. Good leg room. Areas for improvement: 1. Limited menu meal menu options. During checking there was no means provided to select meal option. On our return flight the first meal had Pork and Beef options only. Fortunately the second meal had Chicken as an option. Otherwise we would have gone without meal through 13+ hrs of journey, 2. Limited choice and very limited number of movies and TV shows.

I booked this airline twice. The first time, they cancelled the flight due to destination weather condition but without offering any optional flight but only a cancelation notice sent via SMS. I had no choice but to re-book United airline with the same travel date and destination. (no impact on the weather condition Air Premia claimed) The second time, my husband missed the flight due to local traffic in Seoul. Normally, all major airline would helped you to re-book the same flight next day with changing fee only. But Air Premia offered nothing and only requested my husband to re-book a full price ticket.

Don't splurge for the Premium Wide Economy. They compare it to business class. This is not business class, and the seats are very uncomfortable.

For the second meal, the different food choices ran out both times so we were only offered one.

Seating was good in the economy with plenty of leg room. The seat cushions were a little firm though, especially for such a long flight. All meals were Korean as would be expected. The food was typical airline quality. Edible, but not something you would recommend to friends. Inflight entertainment was also all Korean but Korean tv and movies are made well and you can find something to watch. Just be prepared to read subtitles. Overall it was a good flight, especially for the price.

The crews were friendly, professional and courteous. Checking in was easy and smooth. The best part is, as we all know, the price.

The person in front of me was rude. He may came from some communism countries and don’t care of other people. No common manner and sense between human being.

Very nice staff, airplanes, and an excellent value in premium economy.

Food quality is poor. Flight attendants are very friendly and professional.

Flight delayed four separate times. I’m now one hour hours late to landing.

worst flight ever from Delta, it got delayed and kept on delaying..

Should never have had to go to Detroit from Orlando back to Tennessee!

Got rerouted from a straight flight from Orlando to Atlanta to Knoxville to a flight from Orlando to Detroit to Knoxville! Seriously!! Flight delay out of Detroit! Long day for what should have been a pretty easy travel day!

Two delays on two separate planes with parts they could not easily find and replace.

Checkin was good, fllight ws good. Onlly complaint is lack of foot on 6 hour flight from Seattle to Boston. Snacks were flimsy - chips and cookies. could have offered something more substantial for such a long flight. I know you can buy food in airport but for the price you pay for a ticket, they should step up for the passengers.

Only beverages were offered to first class and I thought the flight attendant could have also served the Delta Comfort as well instead of sitting down and staring at her phone and walking past all of us to the back of the plane to charge her phone more. There was a complete lack of turbulence and was safe enough for flights attendant to walk around in the front of the plane, collect trash and serve a few people water and turn off the seat belt light. Also didn’t enforce people putting their seats into the upright position and allowed two passengers to remain reclined during landing. They seemed out to lunch completely. Usually my experience on Delta is much better.

Long story short, it was one of the better flight experiences I've had in some time when compared with other airlines.

Flight was great! This flight from Atlanta was even better than when I paid for Comfort from SNA to Atlanta.

Connection flights should be spaced out farther because too close I missed my connection.

Like: departed and arrived on time. Unlike: Food options for purchase allways bad, 1 of 2 of the crew members not very friendly at all. Seats and leg room aweful. At this point I am thinking on switching to AA.

Our flight was canceled same day and we were never informed. Had to pay more and worse seating on another airline.

Did not like that we couldn't complete check in on-line without providing pictures of our passports. Worry about identity theft. We had no delays and boarding was handled In an efficient manner.

Excellent! I got to Munich and was transferred to my Lufthansa flight quickly, in 15 to 20 minutes, so I did not miss my flight. However, I had checked my overhead bag at the boarding gate in Tampa. That got to Tunis the next day. That is to be expected.

WiFi didn’t exist , seats were super cramped, lights stayed on near my seat for a long time while others were dimmed, the food/trash/drink cart hit my shoulder at least a couple of times while moving, food options were down to just one option by the time it got to my row, the utensils were garbage (knife bent at a couple of places by the time I was done eating) the spoon was very flimsy plastic

Vegetarian selection could be better. Bread was too hard to chew.

Crew was friendly and competent. Food, wine, and entertainment were excellent except the raw tuna on the flight to Split. Recommend against serving that - at least as the only option. Many medical conditions do not allow people to eat raw fish.

United didn’t even try to hold the flight for me. They knew I had a tight connection and when I arrived at the gate less than 10 mins after final boarding the flight had already gone. The gate agent wasn’t even notified that I was on my way. She was told I wasn’t at the airport

Good quick flight on a small but comfortable plane. I'm 6'3 and had plenty of space.

The flight was delayed so we were dead tired, and after that the turbulence was horrible. I was very scared.

It was a short flight so, everything went smoothly and we got to where we needed to be safely.

Didnt make it on flight. Flight was delayed. Then had to get rebooked for a flight that was 8 hours later. Guess who had to wait for 8 hours at the airport?

Loved and was pleasantly surprised by the food!! Request Lufthansa to help transiting passengers at Munich (confusion whether to go thru passport control or not).

The Air Canada AC1 flight from Toronto to Tokyo on May 16 was great overall. Service, crew, food and entertainment were all excellent and everything ran smoothly. We had emergency exit seats so legroom was amazing, but the seats themselves weren’t very comfortable and the plane feels like it could use an upgrade for a long-haul flight. Aside from that, everything else was perfect.

Flight home was delayed multiple times, did not get home until 2am

The plane was very cramped to point there was no way not to touch person beside you and a stewardess screamed at my son when I touched her arm to get her attention to let her know she forgot to give him his dinner when she passed him and gave a dinner to passenger behind him. Very inappropriate response and She never came back to apologize and other stewardess said she was sorry “if I felt” she was inappropriate. Horrible experience and she should be reprimanded for her behavior

I checked a bag and there was only one agent to assist all customers with any issues.

Everything went smoothly — on-time departure and very organized boarding. We pre-ordered vegan meals, which were fine but not especially memorable. We may have had slightly higher expectations given it was a Japanese airline. It felt like a dinner meal than a breakfast. Overall, it was a good flight experience and we would recommend it.

This flight with a lot empty place , and I have more room, feeling comfortable.

Super experience. Earlier than schedule departure and arrival. Baggage handling was very good
