FAQs - booking Japan flights

  • Do children have to use child car seats to travel from the airport in Japan?

    Whether you’re catching a taxi or hiring a car, you'll need to abide by Japan’s child car seat laws. Children up to the age of six must use a child car seat appropriate for their age and size. Most airlines allow parents to bring child car seats for free, but you’ll need to double-check this with your carrier and let them know how many car seats you intend to bring.

  • Which airport should I fly into to visit Miyajima?

    If you’re keen to meet the deer population and see Miyajima’s famous Torii gate, your most convenient airport will be Hiroshima (HIJ). While there aren’t any direct flights from Sydney to Hiroshima, you should find plenty of single-stop itineraries featuring short stopovers at airports like Taoyuan Airport (TPE) and Tokyo Haneda (HND).

  • Which airport is convenient for visiting Jigokudani Monkey Park?

    If you’re keen to see macaques bathing in the hot springs of Jigokudani Monkey Park, a convenient airport is Shinshu-Matsumoto Airport (MMJ). From there, you can hire a vehicle or take a bus or train to Nagano and then on to the monkey park. Though it is further afield, some travellers prefer to fly into Tokyo and then catch the Shinkansen to Nagano Station.

  • Which airport is close to Nishiyama Onsen Keiunkan?

    If you’re heading to the oldest hotel in the world, convenient airports are Shinshu-Matsumoto and Shizuoka Airport (FSZ). These hubs are ideal if you intend to hire a car. If you’d rather use Japan’s famous rail system, it may be more convenient to fly into one of Tokyo’s airports.

  • Which airport should I choose to visit Tokyo?

    As the capital and the largest city in Japan, Tokyo is the country’s international gateway. Tokyo has two international airports, Haneda and Narita. Haneda Airport (HND) is smaller, located just outside of downtown Tokyo, whereas the larger Narita Airport (NRT) is approximately 60 km outside the city. Whilst the Narita Airport is the biggest in the city and receives the most flights and often has the cheapest options of flights, passengers flying into this airport must consider a journey of around 1h 30min by train to get to and from the airport. Costs of train tickets, as well as possible taxi fares, are also exponentially higher. However, the Haneda airport, despite being smaller, is still a modern and busy airport and transport from the city takes roughly 40min, making it a desirable choice for those with early morning or late-night flights.

  • Do I need a visa to go to Japan?

    Australian passport holders do not need a visa to visit Japan. You can visit visa free when travelling for tourism or business for up to 90 days. Nevertheless, your passport must be valid for your entire stay.

  • Which airport should I choose to visit Kyoto?

    While the city of Kyoto does not have its own airport, it is still very easily accessible thanks to the Japanese Rail System. Many visiting Kyoto will fly into Narita Airport (NRT) and from there catch a 3h train to Kyoto. If you don’t like the prospect of a longer trip by train, you can choose to fly into Osaka International Airport (ITM), known as the Itami Airport, which is located 36 km and 1h away by train, or the Kansai International Airport (KIX), located 77 km or 1h 30min away by train. Despite the name, the Osaka International Airport handles only domestic flights, whereas the Kansai International Airport is the nearest hub for international flights.

  • Where do I fly into Japan to visit Disneyland?

    Japan’s Disneyland is in Tokyo, in the district of Urayasu, directly across the bay from Haneda Airport. Haneda Airport offers direct shuttles to the Tokyo Disneysea Station where you can catch the Disney Resort Line to key points and entrances around the park. Alternatively, Tokyo’s major airport, Narita, is about 1h from the park, where you can also catch direct shuttle buses.

  • How long is the flight to Japan?

    An average direct flight from Australia to Japan takes 17h 29m, covering a distance of 12532 km. The most popular route is Melbourne - Tokyo with an average flight time of 10h 15m.

  • What is the cheapest flight to Japan?

    The cheapest ticket to Japan from Australia found in the last 72 hours was $263 one-way, and $606 round-trip. The most popular route is Melbourne to Tokyo Narita and the cheapest round-trip airline ticket found on this route in the last 72 hours was $718.

  • Which airlines fly to Japan?

    Qantas Airways, ANA & Virgin Australia fly the most frequently from Australia to Japan. The most popular route is from Melbourne to Tokyo, and LATAM Airlines, Qantas Airways and Fiji Airways fly this route the most.

  • What are the most popular destinations in Japan?

    The next most popular destinations are Osaka (11%) and Nagoya (1%). Searches for flights to Fukuoka (1%), to Sapporo (1%) and to Okinawa (0.5%) are also popular.

  • How does KAYAK’s flight Price Forecast tool help me choose the right time to buy?

    KAYAK’s flight Price Forecast tool uses historical data to determine whether the price for a given destination and date is likely to change within 7 days, so travellers know whether to wait or book now.

Top tips for finding cheap flights to Japan

  • Enter your preferred departure airport and travel dates into the search form above to unlock the latest Japan flight deals.
  • Tokyo’s Narita Airport (NRT) is a hub for the country’s main full-service carriers, All Nippon Airways and Japan Airlines. It’s also a hub for the country’s low-cost carriers, Peach and Jetstar Japan.
  • To avoid unnecessary problems at the airport, ensure your passport is valid for at least 6 months from your dates of travel to Japan. Your passport must also have at least one blank page for your entry and exit stamps.
  • There are a few direct flights that connect Japan and Australia’s major airports. While the most popular route is Melbourne to Tokyo, you can also find direct flights from Sydney and Brisbane.
  • If you’re looking to visit the renowned Osaka Castle, you should know that there are several 1- stop flights from Sydney International Airport (SYD) to Osaka International Airport (ITM) and Kansai International Airport (KIX). These airports will also put you in prime location to explore Fushimi Inari-taisha Shinto shrine and the Temple of the Golden Pavilion (Kinkaku-ji) in Kyoto.
  • If you’re travelling in March, beware that flights into Japan during this time may be busier and more expensive. Although exact dates change from year to year, this is the beginning of the famous Cherry Blossom season and it attracts many international tourists. Flights to main cities such as Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, Fukuoka and Sapporo may be affected.
  • If you are looking to visit the northern island of Hokkaido and explore its natural beauties, there are direct flights available with Qantas Airways from Sydney International Airport (SYD) to the New Chitose Airport (CTS) in Sapporo, the fifth largest in the country. On the way back, however, you’ll have to consider 1-stop or even 2-stop routes with stops in Haneda Airport (HND), Narita Airport (NRT) or even Melbourne International Airport (MEL).
  • If you are visiting Mount Fuji, the nearest airport you should consider for your trip is the Shizuoka Airport (FSZ). Since there are no direct flights from Australia, you’ll need to take at least two stops, the most popular being at the Haneda Airport (HND), the New Chitose Airport (CTS) or even the Naha Airport (OKA) in Okinawa.

Ticket was purchased as a United Airlines flight (operated by All Nippon) like what does that even mean? Makes for a VERY confusing flight experience. For instance, what do I look for a United drop off signage and ticket counter or ANA? No explanation anywhere to be found. I also felt a little bit scammed by the obsurdely restrictive seat selection provided. Only middle seats available!! Are you kidding me!! On 6hr + 10hr flights you're forcing me into the middle seat without telling me before I purchased the ticket?? This should be illegal. And to top it off, on the Tokyo LA leg there were quite a few empty seats including window seats! I must also say, the food was a dissappointing as well for my taste, fish with rice ( mostly plain white rice) or a vegetable medly for the breakfast meal? Should be at least 4 choices and at least 1 with eggs. Outside of these issues flight was otherwise ok.

Ground and flight crew were all courteous, extremely helpful and professional. Overall, process is really organized, from boarding to disembarkation.

This is a very long flight and the first time I have flown on a Japanese airline. I was very impressed with the staff. They worked hard and offered food and drink regularly. Plane was very well cared for. The let room was good . Food was ok but better than other airlines.

It was very nice. I was a bit disappointed by the few meal services. There were probably more drink services that I missed while sleeping, but I would have liked the crew to bring more than one drink service before landing and to bring more than one drink service and coffee service after take off

The space and bed was very comfortable , flight attendants very nice. The food was not tasty at all. I ordered the rib eye and it was so tough I couldn’t cut it.

I wish the serve should leach and drink. Maybe because only 2hr

Seat was roomy enough . The Asian selection for a meal was good . The tortellini was not very good. Service was excellent. O

It was very good. Lots of room with superior food and service. I will not hesitate to fly ANA in the future!

I love everything about this airline but it could be better if the waiting time for boarding is on time.

Japan and China airlines were incredible. On board service was impeccable. All the flight attendants were helpful, friendly, and always smiling. Airplanes were very clean. The boarding crew was extremely accommodating and very nice as well. Overall I was extremely impressed.

Liked the food. Needs improvement: 1) the flat bed was very hard and the set up was not at all passenger friendly 2) the announcement were impossible to understand even in English. 3) the flight information on the monitor was terrible it showed a airplane with no information like altitude, airspeed, heading. You could not zoom in or out to orient the aircraft to where you were in the flight. 4) movies were old and very limited as was the music selection.

This flight was operated by American Airlines. AA was completely unprepared for the crowds at DFW for Spring Break and were ridiculously understaffed. They had only three operating kiosks for self check-in, and ONE agent to handle hundreds (thousands?) of dropped off bags. She also had to do double duty to assist passengers at the kiosks. In comparison, flying on United Airlines at Christmastime was a much smoother experience.

Need new movies, a lots of them are 20-10 years old or older. It us a very long flight we need good entertainment. Please load more new movies!

Good and movies are so old. Needs to have more up-to-date movies.

It was an outstanding flight and service. The only thing is the seat cushion for economy could be a little more comfortable. More cushion.

Although delayed leaving the crew were lovely, comfort of the seats was excellent. Cabin was a little too warm but overall the best economy flight we have taken

Comfortable flight since I had the entire row to myself. Food was good too.

Movie dis not play smoothly. During play, it was interrupted several times, and could not RESUME where I was.

JAL has an excellent flight staff, even in economy we had a great flight

Consider adding “N/A” to some review options. This flight had no food or entertainment.

The flight met my expectations. It left and landed on time

Everything as good as can be if one flies economy bit not enough toilets!! People were queuing during the whole flight - there are really not enough toilets!!!

Flights delayed multiple times, travellers requests for updates ignored. Qantas continues to desatisfy travelling basics.

They actually held the plane for a few minutes and had someone at the escalators from Qantas checking to see if we were almost at the gate and radioed ahead to tell them that we were on our way. We called down to the person and gave her our names, coming as fast as we could.

Better food, hotter coffee, otherwise it was a very smooth and reasonably comfortable flight.

First time flying in Qantas. There is zero WiFi on the flight to/from Australia. Crew was great both routes - very attentive, personalized service. Pleasant staff throughout.

Packed flight. Urged to check carry-on before boarding only to discover numerous empty overhead bins after boarding. Challenging entertainment screen. After almost 20 minutes to arrive at baggage claim, waited over 30 mins before luggage was loaded on baggage claim carousel.

Grubby plane, dirty seat & table, poor food, wait for baggage, staff ok.

The plane was new (<6mos old) and was very well appointed. Lots of places to store things/plenty of legroom/comfortable seats/great blankets and headsets. Food was very good too. And crew were all very friendly and accommodating. Great trip!

We were delayed for 7 hours. The staff and management could have organized the getting of seats on later flight earlier than 20 minutes before late takeoff. Everyone was worried and lost. Was chaos and it didn’t need to be.

Not leave 12 hours late. This airline is horrible always late does not refund upgrades for cancelled flights inept counter staff.. needs to be shutdown

I like the non stop flights…..saves you time. Just the food at the economy…..i wish they make it look appetizing. But otherwise, i would still fly with PAL.

I’ve had previous bad experiences with Philippine Airlines so i was pleasantly surprised with the vast improvement in comfort, service and food quality.

I was thrilled with this flight and look forward to flying again with Philippine Airlines in the near future…thank you

Seats is too small for me, but it’s only 1 hour so I guess it’s ok

Good one is its safety. Taking off and landing are good. The bad parts are the managements at airport, especially in Manila. It's horrible.

The checkin was unacceptable. Agent took about 3-5 min minutes with me, standing in front of her, and not in acknowledging my presence. Finally, when she started processing my check in as a priority passenger, she neglected to give me a lounge pass until I reminded her . when I went to the lounge, they didn’t have me registered. However, the agent there still accepted me Did not tag my luggage as priority, so I had to wait until almost the very end before my luggage appeared. My Wi-Fi as premier elite did not work. This was not a good start to my lengthy flight.

Seats were very uncomfortable And the tv screens did not work neither did the phone charging ports. The crew was very friendly and the food was very good.

I thought it was inappropriate that crew let some passengers in the back in full rows move to empty premium exit row seats when others had paid a lot for premium seats.

Free wifi or cheaper wifi rate will be better. Or upgrade your entertainment system.

Note that food has to be purchased in flight. No free food. And no entertainment in flight. So I’ve treated these two items as okay which, in this case, means neutral/not applicable.

My Dad needed assistance to board the plane. The Jetstar staff were excellent with him and made the experience a lot easier😁

No food taken so can't rate also no entertainment so can't rate.

Would be better if can provide small free snacks on a long flight

Boarding was easy and unstressful, though the early "final call" was a bit off-putting. The crew were pleasant, and the seats were comfortable. The prices for food and drink were reasonable, apart from tea and coffee, where simple percolated coffee was charged at espresso prices. Deboarding was OK, though some Jetstar passengers appear to have a bad habit of pushing forward from their assigned rows, making it more difficult to get out for passengers that have paid a premium to sit up-front. Jetstar might want to look to address this to stop it from spreading.

I was allocated an exit row seat and was told to move so it could be given away to someone who had purchased two extra legroom seats and one regular seat but wanted the three to sit together. I was also charged for entertainment after booking but before checking in, and the ground crew couldn't do anything about refunding it. When the whole plane was given access to the entertainment as an apology for the flight being four hours late, I was told they couldn't do anything about that either, so I was charged for something I didn't want even though it would have been free anyway

I got to the airport earlier than I expected, and they let me change to an earlier flight with no trouble.

It was a super crowded time to travel out of Melbourne, but the flight was OK

Worst flying experience of my life. FIVE HOURS delayed! Rude and unhelpful staff and poor communication from the grounds team. Never flying Jetstar again

Worst experience ever flying Melbourne to Phuket. 5 hours delayed! Didn’t land till 1am in the morning. Staff were rude and unhelpful
