oneworld's latest fare makes visiting Japan even easier and better value

01 marzo 2007

Visiting Japan has been made easier and better value than ever for international travellers with the launch of the latest fare from oneworld®, the leading quality airline alliance - Yokoso Visit Japan pass.

oneworld's Yokoso Visit Japan pass offers flights serving 42 destinations throughout Japan, using the unrivalled domestic network offered by Japan Airlines and JAL Express, J-AIR and Japan Transocean Air, the three of the five affiliates joining oneworld alongside it which operate Japanese domestic services.

The pass can be used for up to five flights within a two-month period from the departure date of the first Japanese domestic sector.

Each sector flown is charged at a standard JPY10,000 (approximately US$80). Customers need to stipulate how many sectors they will need before they arrive in Japan, and book the first sector. The rest can be confirmed during the trip. Available to anyone living outside Japan, the pass must be bought in conjunction with an international flight with any of the oneworld airlines to the country.

Yokoso Visit Japan pass goes on sale from 1 April - when Japan Airlines, the biggest airline in the Asia Pacific region, becomes the latest airline to join oneworld.

The alliance already offers its Visit passes for the rest of Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Australia and New Zealand and Europe, enabling travellers to fly around each region using services by all the alliance's member airlines - and at fares offering savings of up to more than 50 per cent on many flights. oneworld is the only airline alliance offering this kind of pass for all these continents.


oneworld's Visit Passes are part of an extensive range of alliance fares offered by oneworld. Others include its round-the-world oneworld Explorer fare, its various Circle fares, providing for travel around several continents and also products for the corporate sector.
