- Tokyo/Haneda – Sapporo/Chitose: from ¥11,000
- Tokyo/Haneda – Okinawa/Naha: from ¥11,440

The cheapest is the Itami route at ¥9,460, letting you fly between Tokyo and Osaka for under ¥10,000. Chitose at ¥11,000 and Naha at ¥11,440 also stand out, keeping long-distance routes to Hokkaido and Okinawa in the low ¥10,000 range. If you secure the lowest fare in both directions, a Haneda–Chitose round trip comes to about ¥22,000 and Haneda–Naha to about ¥22,880. As these are the lowest one-way fares, prices may be higher on some flights or dates. Routes beyond those listed here are also included in the sale.

- Tokyo/Haneda – Kagoshima – Tanegashima: from ¥15,400
- Tokyo/Haneda – Kagoshima – Yakushima: from ¥16,500
- Tokyo/Haneda – Kagoshima – Yoron: from ¥18,700
This sale also covers island routes with a connection at Kagoshima Airport. From Haneda, fares are ¥15,400 to Amami Oshima and Tanegashima, ¥16,500 to Yakushima and ¥18,700 to Yoron, all staying under ¥20,000 even with the connection. It is a great opportunity if you have been considering a trip to islands such as Yakushima or Amami Oshima. When booking connecting flights, also check that you have enough time to transfer in Kagoshima.
Sale Schedule: Pre-Sale and General Sale
November 17 (Tue): Pre-Sale for JMB Members
The first day, November 17, is a pre-sale exclusively for JAL Mileage Bank (JMB) members. To book during the pre-sale, you will need the JMB membership number of every passenger. If anyone in your party has not yet joined JMB, you cannot book them in the pre-sale, so have everyone’s membership numbers ready before the sale starts.
On the 17th, sales open at 0:00. New bookings close at 23:29, and payment for existing bookings closes at 23:59. If a travel companion is not a member yet, they can still join JMB during the pre-sale and then book (membership is free).
November 18 (Wed): General Sale
The second day, November 18, is the general sale, open to non-members as well. However, popular flights and lowest-fare seats may be taken during the pre-sale, so if your dates and routes are already decided, consider joining JMB in advance and aiming for the first-day pre-sale.
Virtual Waiting Room to Manage Traffic
To prevent heavy traffic on its website, JAL will set up a virtual waiting room. If you access the website between 30 minutes before the sale starts and the start time, you may be placed in the virtual waiting room. Since you may not reach the booking page right away, allow plenty of time. Sales open at 0:00 on both days, so the waiting screen may appear from around 23:30 the night before.
Travel Period and Trip Planning Tips
The travel period runs for about two months, from Monday, January 4 to Sunday, February 28, 2027. Flights on or before January 3 are not covered, so take care with your dates if you plan to use these fares for New Year travel or visiting family. On the other hand, the period works well for anyone looking to save on travel in January and February, whether for early-year business trips, weekend getaways, or trips to wintry Hokkaido or the warm Okinawa and Amami areas. Narrowing down your preferred dates in advance will help you book quickly on sale day.
