American Airlines and Japan Airlines Add Direct Flights Between Tokyo and Las Vegas in Support of CES 2020
July 17 2019 - 06:33PM
American Airlines and Pacific Joint Business partner Japan Airlines
(JAL) for the second year are adding direct flights between Tokyo
(NRT) and Las Vegas (LAS) to support the high demand for CES® 2020.
American is also adding nonstop flights from Austin, Texas (AUS),
and San Jose, California (SJC), and upgauging existing flights from
Philadelphia (PHL) and Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) to LAS surrounding
the main event, which runs Jan. 4–12.
Tokyo demand“As CES continues to grow each
year, we will continue to deliver on our promise to strengthen the
value of our global network,” said Vasu Raja, American’s Vice
President of Network and Schedule Planning.
This will be the second year that American is providing direct
access to LAS from NRT in support of CES. The flight will be
operated on a Boeing 777-200 aircraft, featuring 36 fully lie-flat,
all-aisle access Flagship Business seats that provide customers
access to The Club at LAS to freshen up upon arrival or relax
before departing.
Flight times between NRT and LAS will provide a seamless
connection onto JAL’s network to and from Southeast Asia, including
Singapore; Bangkok; Jakarta, Indonesia; and Manila,
Philippines.
Domestic demand American is also
adding direct flights from major tech cities Austin and San Jose
for the first time, offering additional service to fly
next-generation innovators to the conference. Both flights will be
operated on a Boeing 737-800 with optimal schedules and convenience
for CES attendees.
“Whether it’s customers taking advantage of the direct flight
from Austin or connecting on a lie-flat product all the way from
South America to Las Vegas, we want to make sure the world’s best
innovators have options on the world’s largest carrier,” Raja
said.
In addition to the new direct service in January, two flights
from American’s hubs — PHL and DFW — will be upgauged to an Airbus
A330 and a 777-200, respectively, for an 18% increase in seats
domestically. As American’s largest trans-Atlantic hub, PHL will
provide more seats for customers connecting from Europe.
Tickets will be available for purchase on July 22.
