Japan Airlines (JAL) has begun the second phase of its “DREAM MILES PASS” project.
Continuing from the first phase conducted in autumn 2024, this project involves providing free airline tickets to those with dreams that require travel (dreamers), based on the total distance traveled by Shohei Ohtani, a top MLB player who has a support contract with JAL, from his high school baseball days to his current MLB career (estimated 892,440 kilometers), combined with miles donated by JAL Mileage Bank (JMB) members. The tickets are provided in three distributions, broadening the target audience to a wide age range, including “adults with passionate dreams as hot as those of the youth.”
Dreamers must be 15 years or older and have completed compulsory education. Cooperation in being featured in the “DREAM MILES PASS REPORT: Records of Dreams that Flew” is required. Applications can be submitted by entering the dream details, departure, and destination on a special website form. Winners will receive a round-trip ticket for either domestic economy class or international economy class. The second phase’s eligible travel period is from July 1 to June 30. Applications are open until April 30.
Supporters are JMB Japan members who participate in the campaign during the application period. Entries can be made with 500, 1,000, or 3,000 miles. The equivalent of the miles donated, valued at 1 mile = 1 yen, is returned to dreamers as airline tickets. Digital wallpapers of Shohei Ohtani are given as gifts.
