ANA Perth-Tokyo flight - now year-round

[AustraliaPoochie]

Point taken, $10k... I see.

I just had a look because the flights have previously been stupidly expensive. ANA seems to be having a bit of a sale for its return. Departing Perth on 9/11 and returning on 16/11 I can see a price of $4,614 in Business P. That is a pretty good price to me. The P apparently means - "- P booking class on ANA business class indicates it's a "limited offer," meaning it’s a discounted ticket that only allows you to earn 70 percent of the flying distance for ANA miles accrual."

The Cheapest SQ flight I can see for the same dates is around $5,000 - one stop.

2800 in recent sales for the direct flight from

I'm assuming in economy lite fare?

The PER-NRT flight is now going year-round.

 

[Cynicor]

Yep. Hoping for a business sale to promote it!

I wonder if this will make it possible to get two J award seats on one flight

It has always been possible. I managed 2x NRT-PER in J last year (December).

Will they/they will use the Aspire lounge in PER?
And if flying SQ, its the (Air)NZ lounge, or Aspire as well?
Win win I guess, seeing VA decided CNS - HND had to stop.
Of course, HND is a better connection than the long ride from NRT to Tokyo.

 

[Cynicor]

SQ have their own lounge.
I am certain which lounge ANA use firsthand, as my only trip with them from PER was in 2020, but I’m pretty sure it’s Aspire.

NRT, while longer, has some simple connections esp for Shinkansen and certain domestic flights. For my purposes is works well, but HND would also be welcome.

Per Source: ANA to fly year-round from Perth

Also, I'd assume this is an expanded subsidy arrangement by the WA Government and PAPL under the WA Aviation Fund

Tokyo flight resumes as more Johannesburg flights added | Western Australian Government

Aviation in Western Australia continues to boom, with services between Tokyo and Perth resuming today and increased services being added to the Johannesburg-Perth route to meet the increase in demand.

Wasn't it year round before the covid cuts?

Wasn't it year round before the covid cuts?

Yes and no. Its first season was 2019 Sept so it stopped running in 2020, of course.

Also I think this has a thread already and was posted when announced.

I wonder if you'd also be able to use the NZ lounge. It should be open at that time as QR use NZ lounge.

Pre covid paxs were directed to the NZ lounge.
