Why fly Los Angeles to Tokyo?
Los Angeles International to Tokyo is the busiest transpacific route in the world, operated by Japan Airlines, ANA, United Airlines, and Delta with multiple daily departures. The strong Japanese-American cultural and business connection sustains year-round premium demand, and competition keeps product quality exceptionally high across all carriers.
Premium cabin options on LAX–NRT
Japan Airlines operates the A350-900 and 777-300ER on LAX–NRT with their JAL Business Class — a thoughtfully designed flat-bed seat with Japanese-inspired aesthetics and exceptional in-flight dining. ANA's 'The Room' business class on the 777-300ER is among the most private business class designs in aviation, with enclosed suite walls.
Planning tips for Los Angeles → Tokyo
The LAX–NRT routing is particularly well-served for award travel — JAL's partnership with American Airlines and ANA's partnership with United means you can redeem miles across multiple programs. Flying west on ANA and returning east on JAL (or vice versa) via Tokyo is a popular open-jaw structure for Japan multi-city trips.
