How to find seats

1 Start with ANA. At 52,500 it is half the price of any Delta option, but the price only applies to flights ANA operates.
2 If ANA has nothing, check Delta One from Seattle (105,000) or Los Angeles (130,000). The grid below shows every Delta nonstop to Tokyo.
3 Transfer points only once you see the seat.

Questions people ask

Why is Seattle cheaper than Los Angeles on Delta?

Virgin prices Delta by distance. Seattle to Haneda is just under 5,000 miles, Los Angeles is just over, which moves it up a band to 130,000.

Is Delta One worth 105,000 when ANA is 52,500?

Only if ANA has no seats on your dates. ANA is the price to aim for; Delta is the backup worth watching.
