ANA confirms MIlano Tokyo flight, tickets on sale for 2026 winter season

As was to be expected ANA, Japan's largest airline confirmed. Milan Tokyo route opened last December and has also put tickets on sale for the winter season, that is, the season that starts in late October and ends in late March.

Considering that the flight had left in early December 2023. With this confirmation ANA takes the connection from seasonal to annual, a sign of the good numbers in terms of passengers and revenues.

Two direct flights Itala Japan

ANA flight is the only nonstop option from Milan and the alternative to the direct flight d Fiumicino operated by ITA.

These are in fact the only nonstop connections between the nation of the Rising Sun and our country, this despite the tourism boom Japan has been experiencing since it reopened its borders post-Covid.

ANA Flight Milan Tokyo

All Nippon Airways uses on this route its Dreamliner outfitted in 3 classes: business, premium economy, and economy. Planes that starting next year will receive the new, and long-awaited, cabins. The gap between the outfitting of these machines and the new cabs produced by Recaro and renamed The Room and The Suite is huge.

Of course first class will never make it to Milan, but at least we can hope to see a much better product to the one our Julia tried last spring.

The flight runs three times a week and has a really interesting schedule, especially departing from Haneda. Connections are on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays.

In conclusion

Now we just have to wait for JAL, Japan's second largest carrier, which has been missing from Italy since the early 2000s. With more competition, we could see prices drop on direct flights, which are notoriously more expensive than flights with stopovers,
