Press Release
Japan Airlines and American Airlines Offer Tours to USA with JALPAK
JALPAK tours demonstrate merits of American Airlines and Japan Airlines joint business
TOKYOFebruary 16, 2011:To commemorate the joint business between Japan Airlines (JAL) and American Airlines (American) that will begin from April 1, 2011, JALPAK worked with both airlines to develop the "Japan Airlines/American Airlines Joint Special Package Tour" - a series of outbound Japantours to the United States combining the use of both airlines. Sales (in Japan-region only) will begin from February 17, 2011 at 2 pm (Japan standard time).
Departures from Japan must be between April 1, 2011 and September 30, 2011 inclusive, and must include at least one international segment on Japan Airlines and American Airlines each. The use of both airlines brings more flight choices to customers. For instance, customers visiting Chicago, New York and Los Angeles now have more than one flight a day to choose from as JAL and American both serve these destinations at timings spaced apart as a result of their closer coordination. Customers can also experience and enjoy the convenience of using the nearest international airport terminal to downtown Tokyo on both ways of their trip if they choose the tour of 2 cities - Las Vegas and New York. These tours utilize JAL's flight from Haneda to San Francisco for connection to Las Vegas and then to New York on American. Then, on the return, customers can fly with American on the latest route which will be launched this weekend on February 18 from New York's John F. Kennedy Airport (JFK) to Tokyo (Haneda).
Customers wanting to visit Walt Disney World in Orlando can now return to Japan via Dallas/Fort Worth on an American flight that departs at a later schedule, extending their time in Orlando. Special rates for these tours have been set to celebrate the airlines' new joint business agreement which brings greater benefits to customers and business opportunities to the companies.
