Los Angeles to Tokyo Flights

Compare LAX to Tokyo flights using Haneda and Narita, the local arrival date, hotel transfers, baggage, and the full cost of the journey.

Route overview

For LAX–Tokyo, compare HND and NRT against your actual hotel address and arrival time. This page starts with LAX–HND, but a Narita result may suit your trip. Confirm the calendar date on every segment before booking accommodation.

Typical connection options

Check the available flights for your dates. Confirm every connecting airport and the ticket arrangement with the provider before payment; this guide does not establish current nonstop service or a fixed flight duration.

Compare Haneda and Narita on the same basis

Search the same dates and passenger details for each airport. Add the transfer for your whole group and compare the number of changes with your luggage. A cheaper fare is useful only if the resulting arrival works with your hotel plan. Look at the return airport too; a mixed-airport trip requires a different journey on the final day.

Check dates before arranging the first night

Use the local arrival date shown by the provider rather than assuming departure and arrival occur on the same calendar day. Check the hotel’s late-arrival procedure and the transport still running after the flight. Keep a copy of the address offline and avoid a nonrefundable timed activity immediately after landing.

Make the California travel part of the budget

Include reaching LAX, any parking, and the journey home. If you are considering a separate flight into LAX, ask how that affects baggage collection and a missed long-haul departure. Compare the complete ticket and transfer costs before switching departure airports for a lower advertised fare.

Before you book

  • Compare HND and NRT transfer plans
  • Confirm the local arrival date
  • Check late-arrival transport and hotel instructions
  • Include the trip to and from LAX

Best time to plan travel

If you need to arrive for a family event, work, or school, start with that date and leave room for your onward journey. If your dates are flexible, compare nearby departures using the same baggage and cabin needs. There is no guaranteed cheapest booking day.

Baggage considerations

Check the baggage allowance attached to your exact ticket, including both travel directions. On mixed-airline journeys, do not assume one carrier’s generic checked-bag policy applies throughout. Confirm cabin rules for the operating flights and where checked bags must be collected.

Airport notes

Los Angeles International Airport (LAX): LAX supports many nonstop and one-stop options toward Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. Terminal transfers at LAX can take significant time, especially between separate concourses.

Haneda Airport (HND): Haneda is connected to the Keikyu railway and Tokyo Monorail. Compare the full route to your hotel, including the station where you change and the final exit. For late arrivals, check the remaining services and a fallback for a delayed flight.

You will continue to an approved travel provider to complete your booking.

Timing and schedule source

The outbound journey crosses the International Date Line. Use the arrival date printed on the itinerary when reserving your first Tokyo hotel night, and check HND versus NRT again on the return booking.

Questions about this route

Compare the elapsed duration for your specific LAX–HND or LAX–NRT flight. The verified ANA route schedule identifies services but does not establish one flight duration for all dates. Do not calculate flying time by subtracting the local arrival and departure clocks across the Pacific.

ANA’s published 2026 schedules list Los Angeles services to both Haneda and Narita, including LAX–HND NH105/NH125 and LAX–NRT NH5. They are options to check, not a guarantee of seats or unchanged operation on your date.

Travel dates, remaining seat inventory, fare family, baggage inclusion, connection pattern, and change conditions can all affect the final price. Compare the complete itinerary rather than the base fare alone.

These city pairs have nonstop options to compare. If you select a connecting fare, read its actual number of stops, airport codes and ticket conditions; do not assume a connection stays in the same terminal or airport.

Compare available fares and schedules with the complete transfer to your hotel. The airport closer to central Tokyo is not automatically the cheapest or best fit for your dates.
