Japanese budget airline Zipair is expanding its reach to the United States with a new route connecting Houston's George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH) to Tokyo's Narita International Airport (NRT). Starting March 4, 2025, the airline will operate four weekly flights on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays.
The route will be serviced by a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner equipped with 18 lie-flat business-class pods and 272 standard economy seats. In an effort to attract travelers, Zipair is offering an introductory fare sale with round-trip tickets available for as low as $666, or $333 each way. Bookings must be made by November 30 to take advantage of this offer.
Zipair charges additional fees for services such as inflight meals, checked baggage, and seat selection. Despite these extra costs, the overall price could still be lower than flying with major carriers like All Nippon Airways or United Airlines.
