Frequent flyer alliance oneworld’s new fare for Japan travel
oneworld has added a third alliance fare for travel around Japan – this time focusing on the Kyushu region, and offering savings on usual prices.
Kyushu, which means “Nine Provinces”, is the country’s third largest island and the most southwesterly of its main islands. As an early centre of Japanese civilization, it offers many historic treasures, natural beauty with famous hot springs, and modern cities, like Fukuoka and Nagasaki. Besides Fukuoka and Nagasaki, oneworld serves five other airports on the island – Kagoshima, Kitakyushu, Kumamoto, Miyazaki and Oita.
The oneworld ‘Visit Japan Kyushu’ pass is supposed to provide visitors to the country with an “easy, flexible and attractively priced way to explore this region.” When bought in conjunction with an international return flight to Japan on any oneworld member airline, it offers up to five flights between Tokyo Haneda or Narita or Osaka Itami and any of these seven airports in the Kyushu region, with each sector charged at a JPY 5,400 (approximately US$52). This is half the price charged for these sectors through oneworld’s established Visit Japan fare, which offers flights throughout the country.
This Visit Japan Kyushu fare is available for a limited period only – for travel until 29 October 2016 – to stimulate travel to the region following the region’s recovery from the earthquake that it suffered earlier this year. Tickets can be bought from any oneworld member airline or most travel agents. For full details of the new oneworld Visit Japan Kyushu pass, see oneworld com To find out more about Kyushu, see welcomekyushu.com
oneworld also offers two other Visit Passes for travel around Japan, in conjunction with international travel to the country on any oneworld member airline:
- oneworld Visit Japan, which offers travel across the near 40 destinations throughout the country served by oneworld member Japan Airlines and its affiliate Japan Transocean Air.
- oneworld Visit Japan Tohoku, which offers travel for exploring the country’s Tohoku region.
