ANA Discount Travel Tickets, also known as the ANA Experience JAPAN Fare, are a special type of domestic airline ticket provided by ANA. These tickets are sold for 10,800 yen or about $93 USD (at a $1 to 115 yen conversion rate), and best of all, you can accrue mileage points with them too. This is a bargain that Japanese travelers are sure to be jealous of! However, there are only a limited number of seats available at these discounted prices, so you had better get your ticket before they're gone.
Note: the quoted exchange rate is as of January 2017.
Can ANA Experience JAPAN Fare Tickets Be Used on All Domestic Flights?
ANA aircraft fly not only to main airports across Japan, such as Tokyo, Nagoya, Osaka, Fukuoka, or Sapporo but to Aomori, Kanazawa, Hiroshima, Nagasaki, and Okinawa airports as well. Tickets for all flights (including code-share routes) are available at these discounted rates.
ANA also operates flights to Japan's outer islands as well. So if you'd like to travel to Okinawa's popular resort islands of Miyakojima or Ishigakijima from Tokyo, you can use the ANA Experience JAPAN Fare as well.
Just How Good Are the Discounts on These Tickets?
The ANA Experience JAPAN Fare sees up to an 80% discount on the standard passenger rate. As with most travel, the more popular the destination or the further it is from your starting point, the higher the price, but this discount makes it that much easier to travel.
Suggested Route 1: Travel to Japan's 2 Top Tourist Areas, Hokkaido and Okinawa, for 10,800 Yen
You can take a direct flight from Japan's northernmost point, Hokkaido, all the way down to its southernmost point, Okinawa, with this ticket. And if you'd like to see both, well then we definitely recommend using this ticket. ANA's standard passenger fare for this flight can cost up to about 70,000 yen one way, but with the discount ticket, the same flight will only cost you 10,800 yen!
Not only that, but there are also deeply discounted tickets for Sapporo and connected airports throughout Hokkaido available for as little as 5400 yen (limited time only) too. If you want to go sightseeing in Hokkaido, other than the amazing spots in Sapporo, why not visit the stunning lavender fields, or the incredible World Heritage recognized Shiretoko National Park?
Suggested Route 2: From Tokyo to Hiroshima's A-Bomb Dome and Itsukushima Shrine - a Time and Money Smart Trip
There is a convenient flight connecting Tokyo to Hiroshima, home of the A-Bomb Dome, and Itsukushima Shrine.
With ANA's standard tickets, this route would cost about 40,000 yen round trip, but with the ANA Experience JAPAN Fare,it only costs 21,600 yen - that's a saving of about 18,400 yen! If you were to take the shinkansen, or bullet train, it would cost roughly 36,000 yen round trip, making this discount flight the cheapest option by far.
It might occur to some people to use the free passes for trains instead, but with the restrictions on which trains and shinkansen trains that are included in these passes, the journey from Tokyo to Hiroshima including transfers would take about five and a half hours to complete. But if you were to fly, you would arrive in an hour and a half instead. Not only can you save money with these discount tickets, but time as well.
* Please note that there may be additional airport fees which are not included in these prices.
What Conditions Are There on the ANA Experience JAPAN Fare Tickets?
The ANA Experience JAPAN Fare is an airline ticket designed exclusively for tourists coming to Japan, which means that it is not available for those residing in Japan, or with Japanese citizenship living in Japan.
