Qantas Service from Japan
During the summer schedule, Qantas operates the following routes from Japan. New Zealand destinations are reached via these Australian gateway cities.
- Tokyo/Haneda–Sydney: two round trips daily
- Tokyo/Narita–Melbourne: one round trip daily
- Tokyo/Narita–Brisbane: one round trip daily
Sapporo/Chitose departures involve a connection toward Australia. Check connection times and how the domestic segment is handled before booking.
Things to Check Before Booking
- Only selected departure dates and flights qualify — the lowest fare is not available on every date
- The sale window is just three days, ending August 6; popular dates can sell out quickly
- Peak periods such as year-end and Golden Week are typically excluded or priced higher
- Change and refund conditions vary by fare type — read the fare rules before purchase
- Entry to New Zealand requires an NZeTA and the International Visitor Levy, obtained in advance
- Depending on how you transit Australia, an Australian ETA may also be required
- Fares are all-in totals, but seat selection and extra checked baggage may cost more
Bottom Line
With few nonstop options between Japan and New Zealand, the Qantas routing via Australia is a solid alternative. This sale puts Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and Queenstown within reach for a round-trip total in the 108,000 yen range, and the travel period extends all the way to June 30, 2027 — useful if you want to lock in next year’s trip now.
Sales close on August 6. Full details and booking at the Qantas site (https://traicy.com/link/QF).
