Japan Airlines is a hair behind at 8.7 and honestly interchangeable on quality — its A350-1000s are superb — so pick on schedule and fare between the two Japanese carriers. BA trails at 7.7 and only makes sense for Avios diehards or a sharp sale fare.

Actual fares always depend on your dates, demand and how far ahead you book. - Jan - Feb - Mar - Apr - May - Jun - Jul - Aug - Sep - Oct - Nov - Dec - Lower - Typical - Peak **Usually cheapest:** January and February, after the New Year holidays, are usually the cheapest time to fly to Tokyo, with June’s rainy season a second, quieter value window. Wrap up for winter and you get the city’s clearest skies of the year as a bonus. **Usually priciest:** Cherry-blossom season from late March through April is the biggest fare spike of the year, followed by the UK summer holidays and the Christmas-to-New-Year period, when Japan’s own holiday travel peaks too. **When to book:** For blossom-season trips, book as far ahead as you can — six months is not excessive — while off-peak winter dates reward booking two to three months out.

Three: ANA (All Nippon Airways), Japan Airlines and British Airways — around 33 flights a week in total. JAL and ANA each fly twice daily; BA operates daily. All Tokyo non-stops from Heathrow now use Haneda, not Narita. ### How long is the flight from Heathrow to Tokyo Haneda? Around 13 hours 40 minutes outbound and slightly longer on the return, over roughly 5,956 miles. Russian airspace closures keep flight times above pre-2022 levels. ### ANA or JAL — which is better from London? They’re separated by a tenth of a point: ANA 8.8, JAL 8.7. ANA wins on punctuality (9.4) and service (9.2); JAL matches it almost everywhere and scores higher on food (8.9 vs 8.9 — level) with its excellent Japanese and western menus. Choose whichever has the better fare or departure time for your dates — you can’t lose. ### Why Haneda rather than Narita? Haneda sits roughly 30 minutes from central Tokyo by train or monorail, versus an hour or more from Narita — a real difference after a 13-hour flight. All Heathrow–Tokyo non-stops use Haneda; Narita is still served from London via one-stop connections.
