IBEX Airlines Holds an All-Route “IBEX Time Sale”
IBEX Airlines will run its “IBEX Time Sale” for one week only, from September 11 to September 17, 2026, with one-way fares starting at ¥7,150. Every route in the carrier’s network is included, covering its Sendai, Osaka/Itami and Nagoya/Chubu hubs. The travel period runs from October 25 to December 24, 2026, spanning autumn foliage season through the busy year-end travel period.
IBEX Airlines is a regional carrier that codeshares with ANA, operating a fleet built around the 76-seat CRJ700. Its strength lies in “lateral” links between regional Japanese cities, many of which would otherwise require a connection in Tokyo or Osaka. For travelers, the value is not only the fare but the hours saved.

Most fares sit between the ¥6,000s and the low ¥10,000s. Sendai–Fukuoka is the priciest at ¥11,990, but for a nonstop flight covering roughly 1,000 km it still represents strong value.
Routes Worth Watching
Sendai – Sapporo/Chitose
The cheapest route in this sale. A journey that takes most of a day by rail is covered in about 1 hour 15 minutes by air, making a two-night food trip to Sapporo or an early-snow Hokkaido escape easy to plan.
Osaka/Itami – Oita
The fastest gateway to the Beppu and Yufuin hot spring resorts. Flight time from Itami is about an hour, with direct buses from the airport to the onsen towns, perfectly matching the autumn and winter bathing season.
Nagoya/Chubu – Matsuyama
The entry point for Dogo Onsen and the Shimanami Kaido cycling route. This rare nonstop links central Japan and Shikoku in roughly an hour, a trip that is slow and roundabout overland.
Sendai – Hiroshima / Fukuoka
Nonstop links between the Tohoku region and western Japan. Skipping a connection at Haneda or Itami cuts significant time and hassle, which is especially valuable for business travel.
Sale and Travel Periods
- Booking period: September 11 – September 17, 2026
- Travel period: October 25 – December 24, 2026
- Coverage: All IBEX Airlines routes
The travel period opens on October 25, the first day of the winter schedule. Options are wide, from Tohoku’s autumn colors to Hokkaido’s first snow and Kyushu’s hot springs. However, the year-end peak from December 25 onward is excluded, so travelers planning holiday trips must complete their journeys by December 24.
Booking Notes
- Fares shown exclude airport facility charges, so the total paid will be higher.
- Seats at sale fares are limited and popular dates sell out first.
- Some flights are not offered at sale prices.
- High-demand departures such as Friday and Sunday evenings rarely show the lowest fare.
- Change and refund conditions vary by fare type, so review the fare rules before purchasing.
Bookings are made through the IBEX Airlines official website. Additional sale details are available at https://www.traicy.com/link/FW.
Summary
The booking window lasts only one week, and although every route is included, the number of discounted seats per flight is limited. Whether you already have a destination in mind or prefer to let the price decide, it is worth checking as soon as sales open on September 11. December dates fill quickly, so if your schedule is flexible, target weekdays in November.
