JAL Domestic Flight Discounts

Topics: Domestic Flights, Travel

I found a great discount on domestic flights with JAL. It's called Time Waribiki. Every Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, JAL sells discounted tickets for the weekend (Sat, Sun, and holiday, if applicable) that falls 10 days later. The tickets are only for certain flights, to or from Tokyo (to Osaka, Fukuoka, Komatsu, Toyama, Kumamoto, and Miyazaki) and Osaka (to Sapporo and Naha). The Osaka flights depart/arrive at both Itami and Kansai airports.

The discounts range from 51% to 68%, some examples include Tokyo to Osaka for 7000yen (a 62% savings), and Osaka to Sapporo for 12000yen (a 66% savings).

There are some restrictions - they must be round trip tickets for 2 or more people and both departing and returning flights must use the discount. You can't just use the discount for one way and then return with a regular ticket. This means that this discount can only be used for a short weekend trip - one night on most weekends, or two nights on long weekends.

One very good thing about this ticket is that it's easy to buy. It doesn't sell out fast like the cho-warabiki tickets, so for the full three days of each week's sale it should be possible to buy tickets.
