Japanese long-haul low-cost carrier Zipair has put a decent price-tag on flights from Tokyo-Narita airport to Los Angeles, selling oneway tickets across the Pacific for as little as €192. This fare does not include anything but the transport. The cheapest bundle including a checked bag up to 30 kg and in-flight meal service comes at €277 on the airlines’ website. Only a personal item is part of both prices, a cabin bag costs extra, too.
Our availability calendar highlights all possible flight dates at the lowest price. It will forward you to our flight search with your selected flight dates. From there, you can proceed to Zipair’s website or purchase tickets from online travel agencies.
In January and February 2024, you can also fly United for €280 (w/o hold luggage, but with meal service).
ZIPAIR operates a fleet of seven Boeing 787-8 aircraft out of Tokyo-Narita airport. The carrier serves international medium- and long-haul destinations from their hub, relying on a hardcore-no frills concept (similar to Scoot). Almost anything beyond your the transport has to be purchased separately. For example, a 500 ml bottle of drinking water comes with the price-tag of JP¥250 (~€1).
While the seats don’t feature screens to watch movies, even in economy class each passenger has its own power outlet. In contrast to other airlines like Scoot, you can use them free of charge – so you can watch or play on your own devices. You can find a comprehensive video review of Zipair’s economy class here.

Information & Tips for USA
The USA offers many sights, natural wonders and cultural significance. Thanks to numerous airlines offering flights across the Atlantic, it is always pretty inexpensive to get there. Alternatively, you can also cross the Atlantic by boat.
Immigration, ESTA & Visa Requirements
The USA has one of the strictest entry regulations in the world. Most EU citizens, among others, are lucky to be able to participate in the so-called Visa Waiver Program. If you get an electronic entry permit (ESTA) for approximately €20, you don’t need a visa for entry.
The Best Time to Visit
Due to its sheer size, the perfect time to visit the USA varies greatly from region to region. In winter, Florida is very popular due to the mild temperatures. In the summer the West and East Coasts are flooded by tourists which drives up the prices for hotels and flights and during the Indian Summer in late autumn New England is a very popular destination. The hurricane season between July and September can be dangerous in the Caribbean and the Gulf of Mexico. Florida and the southern states are regularly struck by these tropical storms. Blizzards occur from the East Coast to the Midwest during the winter months and regularly put air traffic and public life on hold.
Currency
The US dollar is widely used throughout the world and accepted as a currency in most tourist hotspots worldwide. That being said, carrying cash isn’t necessary in the US, all you need is a credit card! These are very common in the USA and are accepted pretty much everywhere without any issues. If you already have a credit card in your wallet, you should make sure that it does not charge a foreign currency fee if possible. Carrying a few dollars in cash doesn’t hurt though. You might need cash e.g. for the bus ticket if you want to buy it directly from the driver. Most of the time you even have to give exact change.
