I Flew From Los Angeles To Tokyo For Lunch

Matthew Klint Posted onMarch 29, 2022November 14, 2023 82 Comments

I took frequent day trips to New York during the pandemic, taking advantage of low fares and easy upgrades to enjoy hours of uninterrupted time to work and reflect. I’ve also done some crazy mileage runs, including to Sydney. But I recently did another run, this time to Tokyo Narita for a delicious lunch in the ANA Lounge.

Los Angeles To Tokyo On United Airlines For Lunch In The ANA Lounge

I’m not sure whether I’ll re-qualify for top-tier status this year with United Airlines. I’ve had Premier 1K status for many years, but this is shaping up to be a very odd travel year with a period of intense international travel using miles, followed by what will likely be a summer and autumn spent at home.

While it isn’t clear how much I’ll be able to travel on United for the remainder of the year, I do wish to enjoy 1K status while I have it and I still love flying for the sake of flying. Recently, I took advantage of a cheap fare (walk-up economy class round trip fares between Los Angeles and Tokyo have been running under $600) to do a day-trip to Tokyo. I even considered taking my son Augustine, though he simply would have plastered himself to the in-flight-entertainment for 20 hours, so we decided to save the money. I look forward to actually taking him to visit Tokyo and Osaka.

PlusPoints were available to upgrade to business class with immediate clearance. The trip took place just before the Polaris Lounge in Los Angeles reopened, or that would have been icing on the cake.

The flight to Tokyo on United was just fine. I did not sleep, deliberately. Service was kind, I had some lunch, worked for several hours, and then ate again. The flight passed by very quickly and as I powered down before landing, I was pleased at everything I had accomplished on the flight.

My last trip through Tokyo was via Haneda Airport…this time, it was nice to be back in Narita. I find the ANA terminal (T1) much nicer than the JAL terminal (T2), though most things were closed.

During my layover, I enjoyed some noodles and a lovely glass of Suntory World in the ANA Lounge. What a fabulous lunch.

Soon, it was time to board my flight back to Los Angeles. That’s where the real surprise awaited me.

CONCLUSION

I enjoyed a trip to Tokyo for lunch in the ANA Lounge. It was fun to do one of these trips again (I can’t do them to New York anymore…the 757-200s running to JFK are suddenly a very difficult upgrade to score) and I hope that as time permits and fare remain low (they won’t), I can trips like this again.

And a p.s., the flights were virtually empty and would have run without me. Let’s avoid the carbon footprint lecture.

    Matthew, how did you bypass customs and end up back airside? Did you go through the transiting passengers lane with a boarding pass for the return flight?

    • Matthew Klint Reply
      March 29, 2022 at 12:58 pm

      That whole setup is gone. You enter from the jetbridge into the terminal now if transiting. No security re-check. No customs. No boarding pass check.

I’m just going through the comments but I’m sad to see all the negative comments. Do your thing forget about what anybody thinks. With regards to your business not doing so great, such is life.

    Do you know the maximum time you can be in transit? For that price I might fly there and have my brother who lives in Japan fly over to meet me at the Airport for lunch since I can’t enter to visit properly. Haha.

    • Matthew Klint Reply
      March 30, 2022 at 2:41 am

      Your transit must be same-day. The airport apparently shuts down at night so unlike Haneda, no overnight transit is allowed.

      But how will your brother get to you? Buy a ticket and then cancel? He’ll have to exit the country via immigration.

        Hi! I am thinking about replicating your round trip next week. Current US Covid rule is a negative test within 1 day of travel to US. Did you take a test just before LAX departure to meet the timing? Did gate agent in NRT check docs as you bypassed the ticket counter? Thanks for great articles!

          Yes, I took test in LA the day before and it worked like a charm (though just in case, I took another the day of travel just in case they were very strict in Tokyo). Wasn’t necessary. They looked at the test in LA and not again in Tokyo – both boarding passes has the “Travel Ready” message on them.

    Since you are aware of the CO2 impact of such trips, either don’t mention it at all or compensate the emissions as a first step. But your “rational” doesn’t work. If the plane would have been empty, and maybe empty again next week, etc. eventually, the plane wouln’t take off at all.

      I appreciate that he acknowledged it. There’s something deeply unsettling about all the unnecessary flying happening worldwide, and making it popular will have knock on effects as more people start looking for these fares.

      One thing I would say. Every person on that plane could say the same thing. “This plane was flying anyway, my carbon cost is zero!” The cargo shipper could say the same thing. “The plane is already going, the carbon cost of shipping some fresh cut flowers is basically zero!”

      When a plane flies, the carbon cost is rightly assigned to everyone and everything on that plane equally. Including the paying, and thus revenue boosting, flyers to nowhere.

    Correction re: “General aviation pilots talk of the $100 hamburger (flights to anywhere to keep their logbook active).” The “$100 hamburger” refers to flying yourself (and paying for fuel) someplace relatively nearby just to have a meal. Flights to anywhere for logbook activity are more likely to be called “making holes in the sky”. I fly one of the smallest GA airplane types, $100 is about 1.4 hours in fuel costs, plus insurance, maintenance, tie down/hangar and (replacement) engine reserve so maybe an hour of actual flight time, 100 miles from home base at best.

    Matthew, keep up the good work, don’t let the trolls and AlphaHotels get you down. Intelligent people know that your vocation requires things like LAX-NRT for lunch. Your “I’m certainly not trying to impress pricks…” is outstanding, thank you. Re: (from a different post’s comments) “You poor man. Whether you are trolling or fearful, it makes me very sad.

      No doubt it didn’t net 500 PQPs, but I struggled to even meet the 36 segment minimum last year (to avoid the full PQD threshold). Truthfully, it was just cool to fly on an empty plane to Japan and back. And it was highly-productive.

    Maybe I missed something but why would you do this when you can’t even enter the country to enjoy some fabulous sushi? $600 is not going to get you much in the way of EQD or EQP or whatever they call it now. Does not seem worth the aggravation but I guess if you have time and $$ to kill…

    It is not at all clear that 1K will be worth much next year (it has not been worth much for some time due to all the GS on the West Coast). We are currently 11-14th on the upgrade list using PP/miles for an upcoming transcon. There were 10 seats open before the GS window, now 0.

    I am a bit surprised that United let you board in LAX, as the Japanese rules talks about transit to 3rd countries. While it should not really matter, the letters of the rules are what they are.

    But good thing there were no issues.

    • Matthew Klint Reply

      Perhaps a deal with United Airlines? I’d say half the flight was transiting to Guam, which is also a US-US connection.

      • Jesper Reply
        April 2, 2022 at 6:58 am

        Guam is a bit special in that context. Being a territory rather than a state. Though interestingly enough you can transit as 3rd country seen from Japan’s perspective yet fall under cabotage rules if you did the routing on JAL or ANA. Fun stuff….

        But apart from United, no one would check your US to US flight, so minimal issues. I probably would not try on JAL or ANA though.

    You can’t just dismiss carbon impact on the environment because “the flight would run anyway”. You were on the aircraft, your weight affected the fuel consumption. On top of that your readers will probably try this because they’ve seen you do it and want to also brag about “going to Tokyo for lunch”, in an awful airport restaurant, eating horrible aircraft food.

    You can run a blog and also be environmentally responsible, they’re not mutually exclusive.

Since I am transiting in Nareta airport and have a 19 hour wait time through the night I am not sure if I am allowed to stay at the airport In the first place. Could you share some experience.

      FWIW, I was told that overnight transits are not permitted in NRT because the airport shuts down overnight. Please check with ANA on this, because I would hate for you to show up to the airport only to be denied boarding.
