Summary
~The new fare will be renewed, more comprehensible, economical and convenient~

May 17, 2022.
The current 9 types of fares including "Normal Fare for Adults", "Special Fare" and "Advance Fare" will be
abolished and merged into "Flex", "Saver" and "Special Saver" to make the fare structure simpler and easier to understand, and the method of setting Class J and First Class fares will be changed.
We will also introduce new fares that offer savings in various situations, such as Round-Trip and connecting
flights, as well as "Award Ticket PLUS" in which the number of miles varies depending on congestion, to

Key points of renewal
1.Simple and comprehensible Fare lineup

The current 9 types of fares including "Normal Fare for Adults," "TOKUBIN," and "SAKITOKU," will be replaced by simple and comprehensible fares.

2. Class J/First Class Fare setting
Previously, Class J/First Class Fare has been set based on the Economy Class fare with a certain amount
added for all routes. However, from now on Class J/ First class fares will be set individually for each route. As a result, the price difference between the Class J/First Class fare and the Economy Class fare will no longer be a fixed amount common to all routes, but will vary by route depending on distance and other factors.
3. Economical Fare
①Expanded Round-Trip Discount "Round-Trip Saver"
Previously, the Round-Trip discount was only applicable for "Normal Fare for Adults" for Round-Trip.
From now on, the Round-Trip discount(*2) will be applied to any combination(*1) of "Flex", "Saver”and
"Special Saver”fares for both outbound and inbound trips.
(*1)For example, if the fares are different for outbound and inbound flights, such as "Saver” for outbound
and “Special Saver”for inbound, the discount will be applied.
(*2)In any combination, the fare after applying the round trip discount will be “Round Trip Saver”.
