Flight paths to Japan
Are you flying to Japan and want to find the actual path for your flight? Have a look at our list of popular routes to Japan from major airports worldwide.
In Japan you find a couple of large international airports that have direct long-haul connections with for example the US, the UK and Canada. When it comes to flying to Japan from different parts of the world the flight paths differ depending on your departing airport. If you are traveling from the US to an airport in Japan, you pretty much always fly west passing the Pacific Ocean. The same goes for routes from Canada.
On the other hand, if your starting point is found in for example the UK, you will normally take an eastern flight path. Though with the ongoing conflict in Russia/Ukraine, even airlines from the UK choose to fly west (actually across the North Pole) to reach Japan. This will add quite a lot to your flight time and distance.
