Flights from Southeast Asia to Japan: the best tips from KAYAK users

Insights shared by verified travellers who flew the route from Southeast Asia to Japan 
Verified travelerFlew with American Airlines-Sept 2026
The only tip is do not assume a delayed flight would delay the boarding time. Our family almost missed our flight twice because of that assumption.
Verified travelerFlew with ANA-Aug 2026
Definitely fly to Haneda instead of Narita, better business class seats with lay flat and all aisle access
MichaelFlew with United Airlines-Jul 2026
Gate only opens 1 1/2 hr before flight. No need to get to airport 2 1/2 hr before flight
Verified travelerFlew with ANA-Aug 2026
Always have your passport and boarding pass ready all the way to your seat. Use the restroom before you board.
michaelFlew with ANA-Apr 2026
Book the afternoon flight from Bangkok. Airports were not so busy in Suvarnabhumi and Haneda.
Verified travelerFlew with ANA-Mar 2026
Make sure you weigh your carry-on and personal items. It was our first time having these weighed . On our previous flights with other airlines, they didn't weigh the carry-on and personal items so we were really confused when they instructed us to weigh it and then flustered when we had to open our check-in luggage to put some items from our personal items to meet the weight requirements.
Verified travelerFlew with JAL-May 2026
Bring an iPad with movies to watch. The in-flight selections are limited.
Wee KengFlew with Singapore Airlines-Jun 2025
If it is the early morning flight, they would not serve breakfast and only start lunch service at 11am, hence eat before boarding. Otherwise the cabin crew would be happy to provide snacks or instant noodles before the meal.

Be sure which terminal you are arriving and departing in Manila.

Japan immigration and customs log online for faster clearance
DesFlew with ZIPAIR-Sept 2024
Greay value for money! Buy food at the airport and take it onboard with you - its not an issue at all.
BessieFlew with ANA-Sept 2024
ANA and JAL are always better. I try to take the first flight in the middle of the week.
KevinFlew with Cebu Pacific-Sept 2024
Bring charging cord as the have ports on the plane. You have to buy water, so get it in the airport, as 3 bottles is the same price as 1 warm bottle on the plane.
KarlFlew with JAL-Jul 2024
Don't fly to Tokyo, Faster to fly to South Korea. The flight from Bangkok to Tokyo is 6 1/2 hours, and from Bangkok to South Korea is only 5. Or you can go 4 1/2 hours Thaypay. Always take a night trip, at least you can probably get some sleep on the airplane, hopefully.
Verified travelerFlew with JAL-Jul 2024
JAL’s Carry-on baggage allowance (10kg) at Ho Chi Minh city airport ((TIA) can be confusing. For codeshare flights, partner airline regulations apply (e.g. American Airline only limit on by size - not weight).
Verified travelerFlew with Garuda Indonesia-Apr 2024
Haneda is closer than Narita to the city center. Always choose Haneda if you have the choice.
Verified travelerFlew with ANA-Feb 2024
Arriving at Terminal 3 at JFK was better than other terminals at JFK. The USA citizen immigration line was fast, the luggage arrived quickly and the spot to get uber ride was so organized .

The friendliness of the attendants, and the quality of the service.

Food was terrible , uncomfortable seats, WiFi did not work, will never fly Singapore again.

They ran out of the second choice of food was stuck with fish

Service was top notch and the attention to passengers is great. Takeoff and landing was on schedule. Food selection is good

The usual excellent experience with Singapore Airlines. The airplane was on time and actually early to Haneda Airport. The onboarding experience was pleasant with no delays, perhaps owing to the fact that the flight was not full. Nevertheless, the air crew were their usual outstanding standards in serving the passengers.

Very good flight from Boarding to landing -efficient and comfortable with decent entertainment options

Overall, very good. The food was better than expected with the exception of the pork and potatoes dinner at the end of the flight. My family all selected that dish and did not set it. I tried a bite also and it was honestly terrible. Also, it would be helpful to know when the snacks in the back of the plane are available.

The crew and their service was top notch, but the plane itself seemed to be on the older side and worn out. Also, the food could’ve been better. 9 out of 10.

It was a middle of the night changeover, so we were all ready for sleep. Staff were helpful and managed a few hours sleep. Food options were good.

Excellent- a lot of food Disappointed with the premium economy pouch- did not have toothbrush and tooth paste or socks. Other airlines provide them

Broken business class seat which could not convert into a bed and had to switch to a narrower aisle seat to sleep

It was just fine. The sirlines did live up fully to my expectation.

The ticket was last minute buy so no concerns about the pricing this time, but the crew in general could have been more accommodating, helpful.

Pillow and blanket are dirty. My son got multiple bites during the flight

Excellent! I had read some negative reviews but I found out that it was not all was not true! The staff was courteous and helpful. The flight take off and landing was nice & easy. The food was good! I asked for a second and I got it easily and without an attitude! All was wonderful!

Excellent experience however older aeroplanes used by China Eastern Airlines.

Better good than most, if not all European airlines. If you’re stuck in an economy seat anyways, China Eastern is a good choice because of shorter flight time, being able to overfly Russia

The temperature of the plane cabin is too hot. Sweat and uncomfortable. Also my food tray was broken down drinks fall off

For the price we paid, I couldn’t complain. Was good value for money. Service was excellent but food was mediocre. Crew were excellent and spoke English. You will never go hungry. The food was ample but was mediocre. Entertainment limited and wifi doesn’t all allow you to access some social media. The best part was comfortable seats and bed (business class) with a screen to close out the rest of the cabin.

Flight was fine, however we were not able to check in online, this adds to travel stress. Luckily check-in at Heathrow was quick, but we did not get the seats we paid extra for. We paid for a window and 2 aisle seats from Shanghai to Tokyo leg, but they changed us to middle seats. Not good :(

Captain smooth landing, Crew efficient and helpful. We saw Mt Fuji from the plane. Thanks.

On time and smooth flight from San Juan direct to Sint Maarten.

Just to be expected on a budget airline. Since all the flights were either late on the evening it would help to offer some food for purchase Since you tourists cannot buy decent food withoit local vaccination record in hong Kong this would really to help Using phone to submit electronic data is great but for the elderly this is a hassle

Flight cancelled without notidication, had to book an emergency replacement flight at the counter

Thanks to the kind staff for locating my lost onamori.

Quite ordinary, as might be expected of a budget flight. It was difficult to understand the instructions unless one speaks Japanese, and the seats were quite basic.

Very easy process overall. The staff communicated well and everything was efficient.

Very affordable, smooth check in process, flight attendants were safe and kind, lots of flight availability within Japan.

The seat is so bad Can’t recline the chair

For Travelers with babies, if they can be supported by allowing to carry the Baby stroller upto the Airplane gate, and not submit at the Check-In counter. it will be very convenient. Thankyou.

Boarding was not as per sequence Light snacks were not available Window had hair oil stains and water condensation

3 hours delay ,we changed plane after boarding and waiting inside

Scoot is a no frills budget airline. Do not expect a legacy airline experience.

Not a frequent user of their website booking. Booked my check-in baggage and only realized that I did not book my check in baggage for return flight. The receipt was not clear in identifying that as well. Was charged exorbitantly at check in counter. Bad taste for sure when it is a business trip and not leisure trip. Baggage was delayed for more than an hour at belt back in SG.

WiFi didn’t work on both sectors so made killing time harder - planes clean modern and good flight crew - would do again if WiFi works

Boarding was not accordingly after front seat, bmf then back seat. This delayed for at least 40mins or more. The staff at Jakarta can do better. Is chaos at the entry to board the plane. This tarnished Scoot reputation when everyone was talking about it.

Was on scoot plus. The only good thing about the flight was the spacious seats. Tables and armrests were extremely dirty Food: bad Entertainment: non existent Wifi: unable to connect, then was painfully slow that we couldn’t even send messages Good thing we had a night flight, so we just slept throughout.

It would have been nice if I could have actually travelled to Perth. I injured my back and was unable to fly. Scoot refused to change my ticket saying it was not flexible. However I purchased the ticket through MyTrip and it was flexible. MyTrip wanted to charge me an extra $271 to change to a ticket that was only listed as $217. Never again will I fly Scoot or book through MyTrip

It was a cheaper flight and it arrived early. I thought the crew were pretty noisy for an overnight flight, and my friend was not able to sleep because of the noise. Also I think it’s absurd they don’t provide complementary water. Why does everything have to be a surcharge? Airplanes are dehydrating and it would be beneficial to help passengers stay healthy.

Instead of the flight attendants talking to each other they should have been monitoring the passengers. The person beside me took a phone call literally 30 seconds before the plane landed. As we were going down the runway ( from landing ) a person in the row in front of me and behind me made phone calls; CRAZY
