The
newest flight service from Japan Airlines (JAL) is giving Filipinos
the chance to enjoy more experiences in the land of the rising sun.
Starting February 1, travelers can take the Manila-Tokyo (via Haneda)
route and land in Japan by 5AM. The direct flight is the earliest to
arrive from the Philippines, helping travelers maximize their
itinerary as early as day one.
From
ramen,
to izakaya,
to onsen,
to sakura,
Japan continues to capture the imagination of Filipinos, prompting
seasoned travelers to make return trips and an increasing influx of
first-time visitors. Since 2012, the number of Filipinos visiting
Japan has been rising by 20 percent. The new route comes in time as
even more are encouraged to take the trip with Japan's easier Visa
requirements for Filipinos declared in mid-2018.
“We’ve
seen more Filipinos are acting on their desire to visit Japan as we
welcomed the more than 400,000 tourists from the Philippines in 2017.
As the flag carrier, we are very proud to be part of the Filipino
tourist’s journey as we extend the Japanese experience from the
moment you step on board to the moment you arrive in Japan,”
declares Chikara Mochihara, General Manager of JAL – Manila.
The
Haneda airport also has more local connections than Narita, which
means tourists have easier and more convenient access to domestic
destinations. Transportation services to and from the airport starts
early and travelers can be in Tokyo, Shibuya, Tsukiji, Roppongi, or
Akihabara in less than 30 minutes; or Shinjuku and Ueno in less than
40 minutes.
"You
can take your pick of which part of Japan to enjoy and get there
still on-time for an authentic Japanese breakfast. Of course, it is
not just breakfast and there is more to experience and enjoy in Japan
with our new flight connection. You have the whole first day to see
more sights, try more activities, taste more food, and really immerse
in everything else Japan offers," he adds.
JAL’s
promise of efficient, on-time, and convenient flights is backed up by
recognition from the industry. It has been awarded the World’s
Most Punctual Airline by Flightstats for five years now, and its
economy class with expanded legroom has been awarded the World’s
Best Economy Class by Skytrax.
For
a limited time, the airline is also offering special fares until
February 16 for travel until July 31. Economy class fares are
available for USD320 and business class for USD1,099, all with
full-service inclusions.
