Florida residents are already seeing the benefits of the direct route. “It was incredible. Easy, no complaints and I definitely recommend it,” said Christina Whisnant of New Smyrna Beach. “I’ll be going over more often now that I know there’s good snowboarding in Hokkaido, so it’s a nice way to get to Tokyo, roam around, and then get to Hokkaido.”

While this initial service consists of four round-trip flights (including Feb. 28, March 5, and March 10), leadership at both MCO and ZIPAIR hope this charter foundation leads to permanent, scheduled service. All flights will depart Narita International Airport in the afternoon and arrive in Orlando in the afternoon; flights departing Orlando in the afternoon will arrive in Tokyo in the evening.
Whether you are heading to Tokyo to see the sights or welcoming friends from Japan to enjoy our local attractions, this nonstop ZIPAIR Orlando Tokyo flight is a significant upgrade for Central Florida travel. For more information or to book, visit ZIPAIR’s official website.
