The Offer
- Japan Airlines is offering 50,000 free round trip tickets. The whole process is a bit complicated, but it looks like the aim is to get people to travel to destinations they might not normally travel to before/during/after the Olympics. You have to apply for these tickets and applications don’t open until late February 2020. When you apply you’ll be shown four possible destinations and they will tell you which one you’ll got to within 3 days of your application
The Fine Print
- Travel period: July 1, 2020 (Wed) – September 30 (Wed)
- This service is available only to visitors to Japan between June 1, 2020 (Mon) and October 31 (Sat).
- Flights depart from / return to Tokyo (Haneda) and Osaka (Itami / Kansai) only.
- Can apply as a group of up to four people
- Choose from three or five departure / arrival time slots and find sightseeing tips and information on local specialties when you apply, making it easy to plan your trip
Our Verdict
Seems like a fun promotion, but might be a little bit too confusing for most people. I probably wouldn’t want to travel to Japan during this period due to the Olympics, but obviously if you’re going to the Olympics itself then this could be a fun way to travel to a random destination.
