Our Verdict
Train travel is the way to go for internal travel in Japan, let me know if any of you book anything and what the fees are like.
This is a fantastic value. Train travel is a great way to see Japan, yes. But, there are instances when flying is much more efficient, and can help one make good use of a train pass. Spend a week taking the train south, ending in Kumamoto? Fly back to Tokyo. Okinawa? Gotta fly. Also great for day trips to Tokyo. Also, you can upgrade to “Class J” on many domestic JAL flights for under $20.
UA has great availability on ANA for domestic rewards, for 5K one way, no taxes/fees. Avios are also a good use, with flights going from 4500-7500 Avios one way.
We are going to Tokyo in April 😊
70K AA points round trip nonstop on Japan airlines.
The Trip is sponsered by CitiBank and Amex Hilton 😆🤣😆
In economy class?
its 70k RT on JL using AA / TYP citi churn pts to Asia Region 1 oneworld so its probably Economy class 35k per leg. departure location doesnt really matter. only 6 cities to choose from.
From Jfk, economy, 14+ hours.
(Can’t complain when its free!).
Youre good!
from where? Would also like to know the class.
