Why It’s a Game Changer for Indian Tourists
a) Big Savings
Japan’s domestic travel can be costly, especially between distant cities like Tokyo and Okinawa. This offer eliminates that cost.
b) Explore More Places
Domestic flights allow you to visit different parts of Japan like:
- Visit Sapporo (Hokkaido) for winter sports and fresh seafood.
- Travel to Kyoto and Osaka for temples and cultural experience.
- Go to Okinawa for tropical beaches and its unique Ryukyu culture.
- You can also visit other beautiful places like Kanazawa and Niseko for hot springs and ski resorts.
c) Helps Manage Crowds
Tourist hotspots like Tokyo and Kyoto get very crowded. Free domestic flights encourage travelers to explore lesser-visited destinations.
Tips for Indian Travellers
- Flights vs. Trains
While Shinkansen trains are popular, free domestic flights are often faster and more economical for long distances.
- Book Early for Best Seats
Limited seats are available under this scheme, so book as soon as you confirm your international ticket.
(C) Comparing Costs
This new offer makes Japan Airlines your best travel option even if it isn’t the cheapest airline around.
- You get JAL’s international flight plus a free domestic flight within Japan.
- It’s still less than a budget airline’s international flight plus a separate paid flight within Japan.

Visa and E-Visa Details
Japan now offers e-visas to Indian tourists for short trips. You can apply for one online. A typical tourist e-visa lets you enter Japan once and is valid for about thirty days. So it’s best to apply around four to five weeks before your travel date to avoid delays.
Budget Breakdown
Let’s look at an example where a traveller flies from Mumbai to Tokyo and then to Osaka. He then flies back to Mumbai, spending ten days in Japan.
- A round-trip economy flight with JAL from Mumbai to Tokyo costs about Rs. 42,000.
- Domestic flights like one from Tokyo to Osaka will be free because of this offer.
- Two checked bags up to 23 kilograms each are also free to carry.
- DU Digital service fee will cost you about Rs. 1,500.
The total cost for flights in your international and domestic trips is roughly Rs. 43,500.
If you book a cheaper international flight like a budget airline for Rs. 30,000 and then buy a separate economy flight for about Rs. 6,000 along with taxes then you would end up paying similar prices.
JAL’s main benefits are greater comfort and a better baggage allowance with free domestic flights.
Places to Visit with Free Domestic Flights
Your free domestic flight lets you visit many places beyond Tokyo like:
- You can visit Hokkaido and explore Niseko for skiing or Sapporo for seafood and snow.
- Go to Kyoto or Osaka region to see the Kinkaku-ji temple and enjoy tasty street food.
- You can also see Okinawa to discover charming islands, coral reefs and beaches.
