Japan Airlines (JAL) and JALPAK have extended the lottery sales period for tours aboard the ‘JAL 70th Anniversary Commemorative Charter Flight’ retracing the airline’s original international route to Honolulu and San Francisco. The first recruitment phase has been extended until November 30th.
The charter flight is scheduled to depart Tokyo/Narita at 5:25 PM on January 27th, 2024, pass over Wake Island, and arrive in Honolulu at 6:45 AM.
