Flights from Tokyo to London
Tokyo Narita to London Heathrow is one of the longest thin-market routes in the Asia-Europe network, covering roughly 9,600 km and blocking just under twelve hours westbound — eastbound return legs typically run an hour or more shorter thanks to favourable jet-stream assistance. All Nippon Airways operates the route as its flagship Anglo-Japanese service, deploying the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner, which makes the non-stop viable with acceptable fuel efficiency on this distance. At Heathrow, ANA arrives into Terminal 2, so passengers connecting onward within the Star Alliance should clear customs and remain landside with relatively straightforward transfers. On the fare side, business-class redemptions and discounted revenue seats tend to surface most competitively in January and February, after the holiday surge subsides, while economy fares often soften during late October; midweek departures from Tokyo generally carry lower base fares than Friday or Sunday travel.
