Japan Airlines [JL/JAL] will operate its traditional First Sunrise Flights again on January 1st, 2015. These special
early-morning flights place passengers in the vicinity of Mt. Fuji just
as the sun is starting to come up on the first day of the new year. A flight each will depart from and return to Tokyo/Narita [NRT/RJAA] and Tokyo/Haneda [HND/RJTT]. JALPAK will sell the tickets, with the Narita flight to go on sale on November 11th and the Haneda flight on November 12th, both at 1030 JST.
The Narita flight, appropriately numbered JL2015, will depart at 0545, flying off the coast of Choshi, Chiba Prefecture to see the sunrise, then moving on to Mt. Fuji and Miyakejima, before returning to Narita around 0745. It will be operated by an international-configured Boeing 767-300ER, accommodating 30 business and 207 economy class seats. Window seats for a couple will be set at 80,000 JPY for business and 65,000 JPY for economy, and 60,000 JPY for an over-wing window seat-pair in economy. Middle section seats will also be sold, with a business seat priced at 25,000 JPY and an economy seat at 20,000 JPY, and 19,000 JPY for an over-wing middle section seat.
Meanwhile, the Haneda flight, JL1511, will depart at 0545 and fly near Mt. Fuji to view the sunrise, then cruise over Izu-oshima, before arriving back into Haneda around 0745. A JAL Sky Next (JAL's first Sky Next 777 enters service.) 767-300 configured with 42 Class J and 219 economy seats will operate the flight. Window seats for a couple will be set at 81,000 JPY for Class J and 72,000 JPY for economy, and 67,000 JPY for an over-wing window seat-pair in economy. Middle section seats will be sold as well, with a Class J seat priced at 27,000 JPY and an economy seat at 22,000 JPY, and 21,000 JPY for an over-wing middle section seat.
JAL will issue a flight certificate and serve traditional Osechi bento (new year cuisine lunch box) along with a red and white bun with fillings. Japan's flag carrier has been operating First Sunrise Flights from Narita since 2009 and from Haneda since 2010.
