Los Angeles to Tokyo: what to know before you book

Six carriers fight for LAX–Tokyo, split between Haneda (ANA, JAL, Delta, United, American slots) and Narita (ZIPAIR and some legacy frequencies). ZIPAIR's presence keeps a hard floor under prices — one-ways from roughly USD $350 — and forces sale fares from the full-service airlines several times a year. Haneda is worth a modest premium: it's 30 minutes from central Tokyo versus 60–90 for Narita. Peak pricing follows Japanese holidays (Golden Week, Obon in mid-August, New Year) more than US ones.

Booking tips for Los Angeles–Tokyo

✓ Fare-check both Tokyo airports separately; 'Tokyo (all)' searches sometimes miss ZIPAIR because some metasearch engines exclude it. Search Narita explicitly.
✓ Premium economy on JAL/ANA on this route is one of the best-value PE products anywhere and often costs less than double the economy sale fare.
✓ Book Japan-bound December travel by September; New Year (Dec 28–Jan 3) is Japan's single busiest travel window.
