About This Route

Tokyo fuses neon-lit megacity energy with serene temples, world-leading food, and precision transit. Cherry-blossom spring and crisp autumn are the standout times to fly.

Tokyo is a long haul from New York, with nonstops of roughly fourteen hours into Narita, plus additional service to Haneda. ANA, JAL, United, Delta and American all fly the Pacific route from JFK and Newark. Fares generally improve in April, May and October, away from cherry-blossom and holiday peaks. The big challenge is the time difference: Tokyo runs about thirteen to fourteen hours ahead of New York, so build in recovery time and shift your sleep schedule before departure. A nonstop, though tiring, beats a lengthy connection for adjusting. Comparing JFK and EWR fares is worthwhile given the trip's cost.

Pro tip: Book 3-6 weeks in advance for the best deals. Tuesdays and Wednesdays are typically the cheapest days to fly on this route. Avoid traveling during peak periods like Thanksgiving, Christmas, and spring break for lower fares.
