Delta Air Lines is launching a nonstop daily service between Tokyo International Airport and Honolulu. The Haneda-Honolulu nonstop service will begin Oct. 29, 2023. This is the first time Delta has offered a service between Haneda and Honolulu after all Tokyo operations were moved from Narita Airport to Haneda in March 2020 (the start of which was delayed due to the pandemic).

The flight will operate on a Boeing 767-300ER, offering Delta One, Delta Premium Select, Delta Comfort+, and Main Cabin options. Delta One customers can stretch out in a full flat-bed seat and enjoy premium amenities like artisan-made Someone Somewhere amenity kits and chef-curated meals, and decadent desserts like a build-your-own ice cream sundae.

Those flying in Delta Premium Select will have more space to relax in a wider seat with a deeper recline and dedicated service touchpoints to further elevate their journey.

Customers in every cabin will enjoy seat-back screens featuring hours of complimentary premium entertainment via Delta Studio, in-seat power, high-speed Wi-Fi available for purchase (to be for free by the end of 2024), and free mobile messaging.

Delta partners with renowned Chef Norio Ueno to create the Japanese menu served in all cabins. Eligible customers have access to the Delta Sky Club at both Haneda and Honolulu airports.

The schedule, which is subject to change, will operate as follows:

Flight DL180 departs Haneda at 9 p.m., arriving in Honolulu at 8:55 a.m. (same day) The flight operates daily with a B767-300ER

Flight DL181 departs Honolulu at 2 p.m., arriving in Haneda at 6:45 p.m. (next day). The flight operaties daily on B767-300ER

“As travel demand gradually recovers in Japan, we decided to add the new Honolulu service to our HND network,” said Victor Osumi, Delta’s Managing Director and President – Japan. “Our commitment to both markets remains strong. Customers will enjoy more options and destinations from Haneda, with Delta's unparalleled premium experience on the ground and in the air.”
