- Flying from Los Angeles, CA (LAX) to Tokyo, Japan (HND)
Early morning flights are a blessing out of Los Angeles. You get to skip most of the traffic and are usually in a very calm and relaxed atmosphere.
Today we will be flying Delta Airlines to Tokyo Haneda Non-Stop. Our flight departs out of Tom Bradley International Terminal. But Delta does not operate any Check-In counters at Tom Bradley. Please be aware and do not go directly to Tom Bradley. Check your Delta Application and it should say the check-in Terminal. For us this trip it was Terminal 2.
Terminal 2 and 3 have baggage drop and due to recent construction it can be a mess to transfer between on and the other. Thanks to Gold Medallion status. I was able to go through the SkyPriority line and quickly check in. I was also upgraded to Comfort+ free of charge. On a long haul flight like this one, Comfort+ would run you around $250USD! It was definitely a great surprise. Gold Medallion also has free access to Delta SkyClub Lounges.
There are located in Terminal 2 and 3. There are no lounges at Tom Bradley so make sure to take advantage of this perk before taking the shuttle bus from your Terminal to Tom Bradley.
Entry to the SkyClub was easy and it was not crowded. Breakfast was being served and it was quite appetizing. The SkyClub also offers showers and an open bar. It has great views of the northern side of LAX as well!
Make sure to leave with enough time as the shuttle from Terminal 2 can take 15-20 minutes, and the walk is not short. Once at Tom Bradley we were able to proceed with boarding on time and once the door was shut we were ready to go. But did we?
Unfortunately the wind had changed and we would have needed a longer runway to achieve the same lift. We were considered over weight and we were unable to proceed with taxi until either the wind changed again or we unloaded some cargo. After some waiting and noticing the wind was not going to be on our favor. Some items from the cargo hold had to be unloaded. This resulted in a delay of about 1 hour and 20 minutes but once that happened we were ready to roll.
Our taxi route was a little bit confusing as we taxied into the southern part of the airport, then did a U-Turn and went back to the northern side to finally be cleared for take off on runway 24L. After this the flight went without a problem. Delta staff was incredibly attentive and their product delivered incredible well. Being in Comfort+ really makes a difference in leg room, 3 inches may not sound as much but after the 5th hour you really start to appreciate it.
We started our descent into Tokyo with overcast and at times we were able to see Mt. Fuji in the distance. It was a great flight experience and definitely recommend it for feature endeavors.
Thank you for watching and stay tuned for more videos.

I love how you show the overlay of the airplane when showing what seat you have for the trip.great videos
Beautiful flight report. I'm originally from Los Angeles and my dream had always been to fly to Tokyo (Narita or Haneda). One day. :)
Thank you for your feedback, as I'm trying different things. It's good to know when something works.
Genki, your dream may be closer than you think. Sometimes there are really good offers to Tokyo under $500 USD.
This particular flight I believe I paid $608 roundtrip.
Shawn's Travels Hi Shawn what months are the least expensive to book a flight to Haneda and for a first time visitor how many days you recommend? And should I take cash or take money out of an ATM in Japan?
My parents and I will visit Tokyo Disneyland in Japan someday in the future.
That sounds like an awesome plan! I hope we go back to normal soon too!
Really awesome!
Great vídeo
Really nice how they have done this Delta Terminal at LAX. Hopefully use it from London Heathrow for a future visit to LA with Virgin Atlantic or if Delta wins the slot from Air New Zealand when the stop flying to Heathrow from October 2020
N822NW is an A333 HGW which has an MTOW of 242t vs the standard 236t. Interesting that you still had to unload cargo.
Great video! Always nice to get an upgrade to comfort+! The food all looks alright, nothing too special tbh.
Regards,
Brendan
Yep, you hit the nail on the head. Delta usually offers really good food service internationally and I was a bit disappointing on this flight for sure. I'm curious to see how the new cabin service is going to be that is being released this month.
The Free upgrades for long haul are great! You flight much more comfortable, even if its a couple of more inches.
Excellent trip report! The food looked quite disappointing compare to other carriers operating this route like ANA or JAL. However, it's good that you got a quite new aircraft
It was my first trip across the pacific. I will definitely keep an eye on food quality as I fly with other airlines. Thank you!
Delta will buy any plane. I mean, they're the only airline in the western hemisphere to have the a350, a220, a330NEO, B747, a320NEO
I hope one day they start buying 787s
@@ShawnsTravels at this rate they're pretty committed to the A350/A330neo. Common flight decks and stuff
One thing I think Atlanta does better than any other airport is move people around the airport.
I agree, Atlanta is a very efficient airport
@@ShawnsTravels What, I had to walk end to end it seemed for Spirit, and the ripped me off on seats I tried to cancel even though their site kept kicking me off.
Awesome video! Keep them coming 😃
Thank you for the positive feedback, definitely more content to come. I will be experimenting with a few more things.
The food does look a bit sad.
Just when you think American carriers started paying attention to craft services, then again, guess not.
Not sure if Delta is part of Star Alliance or SkyTeam, but you could've flown on ANA or Japan Airlines on the same route into Haneda.
The culinary experience on either of those Japanese carriers would've been a much more pleasant one based on videos from other flyers.
How long is the flight LAX-HND???
How long was the flight? and the reason I'm here is becuase I want to go to tokyo Japan next year.🤩
Also did you have to pay for the breakfast you ate at the lax ?
The flight to Japan from Los Angeles is about 11hrs45min. Hopefully once this whole pandemic thing normalizes you can enjoy your trip!
I did not have to pay for the breakfast at LAX. Because I am a Delta Gold Medallion I get complementary access to the SkyClub on International flights.
All you do is go into the lounge, scan your ticket and you are in :)
@@ShawnsTravels that's nice :) do you know how much a ticket to japan/tokyo is ?
@@Marco-xw5sk Depends on the season. This particular flight was around $600.
I've seen the flights drop to around $520 before though.
Then they vary between $800-1000
@@ShawnsTravels Oh, Alright thx for telling me 😁
What an eye opener, the state of US airlines is shocking! Serving Marie Calendar frozen dinner quality dinner to school lunch quality breafast items.
Nice flight report! Very smooth landing as well!
I wish Delta would let First Class passengers into the Sky Club.
On international itineraries, it is included with DeltaOne!
@@ShawnsTravels First class and Delta One are two different things
kit kat for breakfast?!
W on the same flight to go to America HND-LAX
Then LAX-SEA then SEA -LAX then LAX-HND then HND-KIX
I fly almost all the time and don’t like the takeoff and turbulence
Awesome video! Like how you were parked next to AA UA jets at HND :)
The mix of the group. My friend had flown with Signapore Airlines to Tokyo a week prior. He swears its an amazing airline. Maybe I'll do a trip report on them soon.
How long is the flight from LAX to Tokyo, Japan?
Around 12hrs, Could be less if you get a tail wind
Great video. I’ve flown on the A330 in economy between Detroit and London. Very nice
Nice! I've been on that route on a 767
Shawn's Travels me too

What’s your favorite aircraft mate? My lifelong love for flying started with the Boeing 747.
The 747 all the way. It's something very special and majestic about being on board of the queen. As much as most interiors are outdated. I really like the experience and how smooth the flights are. Flying KLM on a 747 is a great experience and Im really sad they are retiring all their 747 in the next few years. I should have a trip report ready in a few weeks of my flight from Amsterdam to Los Angeles aboard the 747.
What I really would like to do is fly Lufthansa's 747-8!
Shawn's Travels I honestly haven’t minded the outdated interiors. After all, it does take us back to the 1990s when we used to see unconditional love and peace when flying
My all time favourite aircraft will always be the B747-400. At present I'm torn between A350-900 or B787-10 as a current favourite
Raj Nirvan I would choose the A350 because the 787 seems a bit less spacious in economy and the A350 has better innovations. I’m not too fond of the 787 window shade either.
Raj Nirvan however, nothing will compare to the 747
Delta's Lounge Club , food can be better!
pppppppp🐡

:D
Nice to travel on former Northwest Airlines planes like the A330.
This one specifically was delivered directly to Delta in 2015. After the merger. But for sure, there are a lot of Original Northwest Airlines planes, like the A320s in the Delta Fleet
Shawn's Travels oh okay
Thanks for sharing. The flight looked comfortable but the catering uninspiring and lazy?
Completely agree. Everything was outstanding but the food.
I've been on that a330, twice
It's a great product, sleek clean and new.
Where did you fly them too?
I've done Atlanta - Buenos Aires and Los Angeles - Amsterdam aside from this trip.
01:43 Wow, there should be a strict dress code LOL!
I agree, I find this more common in US airports. In Europe I feel like there is more etiquette.
Music was obnoxious AF
Sin música por favor, SIN MÚSICA !! ..
Hola Andres! Eso es algo que tome en cuenta. Si miras las ultimas cronicas deje de usar musica! Gracias por el comment!
@@ShawnsTravels ok. Ya los veré 👍👍👍
Big dislike. Your video is allready short and then you film a half way of your video with thinks that are not even interesting.
When you take off your video is nearly on the end.
Thank you for your feed back, what is it that you would like to see in future videos?
@@ShawnsTravels I wanne see a video that is with the most important thinks in the biggining. Like Take of and the whole flight and landing.
