How to buy cheap high-quality domestic air tickets in Japan

As we all know, international flights are generally more expensive. At this time, we can choose some ways to buy air tickets to save money. These are some problems to be discussed in the following small series. You can go and see how to buy tickets cheaply. ANA

In 212, ANA launched ANAExperienceJAPAN

Fare for tourists visiting Japan. Foreigners can buy ANA's domestic airline economy class at a price of 1,8 yen including tax per flight segment, which is almost equivalent to the freight rate during the non-promotion period of low-cost airlines in Japan, but they can take high-standard airlines, which is quite a good discount for travelers.

to purchase this ticket, you only need to meet one condition: the passenger is a non-Japanese resident with an overseas ticket to and from Japan.

Fare rules

5,4 yen: take the route from Sapporo to Hokkaido from March 26th, 217 (Sapporo = Nainei, Mumanbie, Genji Bid Tianjin, Kushiro, Hakodate)

1,8 yen: the route other than the above

Notes

1. Japanese passport holders.

2. Japan's air tickets to and from overseas are not limited to airlines, and low-cost airlines are also acceptable.

3. you need to prepare your passport and international air ticket for future reference when you go through the registration formalities.

4.ANA is applicable to all flights in Japan, and must be booked at least 3 days in advance, and can only be purchased in overseas official website

5. The free baggage allowance is 2 kg per piece

6. The ticket is non-refundable, but it can be changed forward on the day of flight if there are seats available

7. Children and adults have the same price, and under 3 years old are free

How to buy it

. You only need to search for reservations on any ANA overseas website according to normal channels (this price will not appear on Japanese websites)

Take the classic Tokyo-Sapporo route as an example. If you log in to ANA official website to search for https://www.ana.co.jp/

, the price of ANAExperienceJAPANFare will appear directly, and 1,8 yen will be directly converted into 688 RMB.

when purchasing, you will also be reminded of the applicability of this fare, and fill in the corresponding passport and entry and exit ticket information in the next step.

Comparing the price of ANA Japan Station, the same ticket is at least twice as much as this ticket. Since this ticket can only be purchased at ANA overseas sites, OTA cannot issue this ticket. Please pay attention to friends who like to use Ctrip.

even better, this fare can accumulate ANA mileage by 1%, and the displayed cabin is H (belonging to the middle and high class of economy class). If foreign airlines are accumulated, take Air China as an example:

H cabin can be accumulated by 7%, and the maximum use of this kind of fare may be reflected in extreme routes such as Sapporo to Okinawa. This super-long route costs only 1,8 yen, while it costs four times as much in official website.

is it necessarily cheap?

It should be noted that if you want to buy an ultra-short-distance route, such as an island-jumping tour from Naha, Okinawa to Ishigaki Island, it is very likely that it will be more cost-effective to buy it directly in official website, Japan. For example, a one-way flight from Okinawa to Ishigaki Island only costs a minimum of 8, yen, which is cheaper than the price of 1,8 yen.

In addition, ANA has a sales promotion in Japan, which is divided into 21, 28, 45, 55 and 75 days in advance. Sometimes the price will be better than the special price for foreigners, but it needs to be booked a long time in advance, which is far less flexible than the former, and the mileage accumulation is also poor. It is up to everyone to consider which one to choose.

ANA's routes in Japan are very rich, covering most major airports and routes. If you move for a long distance, it is a very good choice to fly with such preferential fares. JAL

Like ANA, JAL, which everyone loves, has the domestic special fare JALJapanExplorer

Pass for foreigners, and even the conditions of use are almost the same. To buy this ticket, you also need to meet the conditions: the passenger is a non-Japanese resident who holds an overseas ticket to and from Japan.

unlike ana, jal's domestic line fares are divided into three stalls, among which the recently launched special fare for Fuxing northeast makes it more convenient to travel to six counties in northeast China.

Fare rules

5,4 yen: the route within Hokkaido and to and from the Northeast

7,56 yen: the route between the main island of Okinawa and the outlying islands

1,8 yen: other routes

Notes

1. Japanese passport holders who have the right of permanent residence overseas can buy them.

2. Japan's air tickets to and from overseas are not limited to airlines, and low-cost airlines are also acceptable.

3. you need to prepare your passport and international air ticket for future reference when you go through the registration formalities.

4. All domestic flights of JAL and NU, J-AIR are applicable, and must be booked at least 3 days in advance, and can only be purchased overseas in official website

5. Free baggage allowance is 2 pieces of 23kg

6. Tickets are non-refundable and can be upgraded at a higher price (1, yen for business, 8, yen for first class)

7. Children have the same price as adults. However, unlike ANA's normal fare search system, JAL's China official website only sells China-Japan air tickets, so it needs to search at a special entrance.

after entering, you need to fill in all the voyage information, passport information and flights to and from Japan before you can enter the next purchase, which is relatively troublesome.

after entering the next step, you can see the flight information and time you can choose:

Because it is a special offer in Northeast China, you can enjoy a preferential price of 5,4 yen, equivalent to RMB 353.

By comparison, the price of JAL's website in Japan is more than twice that of this fare, and the flexibility is not as good as ExplorerPass. Like ANA, this preferential fare of JAL also provides 1% mileage accumulation.

JALGLOBAL

CLUB, referred to as JGC for short, is an independent plan of JAL outside JMB. In short, after joining JGC Club, you can enjoy the rights and interests of a sapphire in the world, and at the same time, you only need to spend 5 miles every year to avoid relegation, which is equivalent to a lifelong JAL senior membership.

to join the JGC, members need to take at least 5,

At present, JAL offers double fly on

points for routes in Japan. With 1% accumulation, the longest route from Tokyo-Ishigaki Island/Okinawa can accumulate at least 2,5 fops at a time, so it only takes 2 times to reach JGC membership. Of course, it may be very tiring to need 1 round trips, but you can design a more reasonable itinerary to travel around. This kind of MR is really hard, but the lowest cost is only five digits, and the mileage can be exchanged for two round-trip air tickets to Japan, which is really a classic CASE in MR(Mileage

Run).

going back to the price comparison link, I just compared the prices of Tokyo-Aomori. Similarly, Tokyo-Ishigaki Island (1,8 yen for one way) and Naha-Miyakojima (7,5 yen for one way) are all applicable areas of JALJapan

ExplorerPass. This is a very cost-effective preferential fare for travelers who want to explore Japan. Don't book domestic tickets for JAL and ANA from OTA. The wonderful use of domestic routes

With regard to the use of domestic routes, I would like to add some information and illustrate it with specific examples.

1. Shanghai-Aomori

If you directly search for the round-trip air ticket between Shanghai and Aomori, you can see (Ctrip is used here, and there is no difference with official website after the price comparison)

You need to transfer once, and the price needs 4, yuan.

but if you change your mind, search for air tickets from Shanghai to Tokyo.

then three typical tickets have appeared, namely, low-cost Peach, red-eye ana and normal ana. Either way, with JAL's special domestic fare to and from Aomori 7 yuan, it can be much cheaper than before. If you arrive early to catch an early flight and play until you catch a late flight, Haneda Airport itself will have to pick up your luggage, so you don't have to pursue a connecting ticket.

2. Beijing-Okinawa-Outlying Islands Beijing-Tokyo-Outlying Islands

If you go to Okinawa to jump on the island, the choice of air tickets is also very interesting. If you take the traditional way to fly from Beijing to Naha and then to the outlying islands, the price of the air ticket is about 4, yuan (that's it without discount), and then counting the round-trip ticket to the outlying islands, it is about 1, yuan at the JAL special price of 7,5 yen for one way, with a total price of 5, yuan.

fly to Tokyo first, and then fly to Ishigaki Island or Miyakojima with the help of the special prices of ANA and JAL, so the cost is about 3,8 yuan. Of course, the direct flight ticket to Okinawa may not be so expensive. Here is an example as an introduction. Similarly, there is also a ski flight to Hokkaido and Sapporo (Air China monopolized the direct flight from Beijing to Sapporo with high-priced tickets), which gives you a more diversified way to check tickets.

3. Beijing-Tokyo-Sapporo-Okinawa-Ishigaki Island-Tokyo-Beijing

Here, an extreme example is used to use foreigners' discount tickets. With more than 2, Beijing-Tokyo fares plus four domestic fares in Japan, you can visit the northernmost and southernmost parts of Japan at one time in the early 4 s, and such a trip is absolutely by air.

In addition, in some areas, JR

PASS may be good, but sometimes the train speed is still slow. For example, it takes five and a half hours from Tokyo to Hiroshima, but it takes only one and a half hours by plane, and it costs only 1,8 yen by plane, which is probably cheaper and more convenient than the train. Low-cost airlines

There are many low-cost airlines in Japan, which operate different routes and features. When buying low-cost airline tickets, you should pay attention to the baggage allowance, the policy of returning and changing the visa, and even buy them at the time of big promotion (if it is not promoted, it may be similar to the preferential fares for foreigners mentioned above, which can be compared)

Here are a few low-cost airlines

1.JetstarJapan: mainly BASE Tokyo Narita, Osaka Kansai, Larger scale

2.Peach Peach Aviation: the main bases are Osaka Kansai, Tokyo Narita and Okinawa, and the scale is larger

3.SkymarkAirlines Tianma Airlines: the main bases are Tokyo Haneda, Okinawa, Fukuoka, Sapporo and Kobe. Larger scale

4.AirDo Hokkaido International Airlines: mainly flights to and from all parts of Hokkaido in Tokyo

5.VanillaAir vanilla air: the main BASE is Narita in Tokyo, and the routes are to Hokkaido, Okinawa, Osaka and Kyushu

6.SolaseedAir: the main BASE is Kyushu, Tokyo and Okinawa

7.StarFlyer: the main BASE is Tokyo Feather.
