Cheap flights from Brisbane (BNE) to Tokyo (NRT)

Ready for a change of pace? Leave the buzz of Tokyo behind and touch down in laid-back Brisbane, where river views, rooftop bars, and quick access to the Gold Coast beaches are all part of the deal. Whether you're heading down for a holiday or reconnecting with mates, flying from Tokyo to Brisbane is your direct line to warmer weather and a more relaxed vibe.

Which airlines fly direct from Brisbane to Tokyo? 

Two carriers fly non-stop on this route, and they cover both ends of the budget:

• Qantas: Full-service all the way. Meals, 30kg checked baggage, entertainment, and Qantas Frequent Flyer points included.
• Jetstar: Low-cost and no-frills. You’ll pay for extras like baggage and meals, but if you’re travelling light, it’s hard to beat on price.

Flight time from Brisbane to Tokyo?

When flying direct, it takes 8 hours and 55 minutes to fly from Brisbane to Tokyo. Overnight flights help you land in the morning and get going straight away.

Average price of flights between Brisbane and Tokyo

Prices sit anywhere between AU$390 and AU$1,000 depending on the season. Right now, flights start from AU$321. To lock in the best fares, book two to three months in advance and watch for Jetstar’s sales or Qantas seasonal deals.

Cheapest time to fly to Tokyo

August is currently the cheapest month to fly. Generally, flights between June and September are where the real deals live. Avoid January—it’s peak travel season in Australia and prices jump fast. May’s also pricey with school holidays and local events.

Where is the airport in Tokyo?

Brisbane Airport is about 13 kms from the city. Here’s how to get there fast and hassle-free:

• Pre-booked airport transfer: Sort it before you land for no mucking around at the airport.
• Taxi: Expect AU$45 – 55 and a quick 20-minute ride when traffic’s clear.
• Airtrain: Straight into the CBD in 20 minutes. Costs AU$22.30 and runs every 15 - 30 minutes.
• Rideshare: Uber, Didi, Ola and others all allowed.
• Shuttle bus: Con-x-ion does hotel and suburb drop-offs. Book ahead or at the airport.
• Council bus: Cheapest option but involves a few transfers.

Visa and passport requirements for Australians flying to Tokyo

Aussie passport holders? You’re all good; there’s no visa needed to fly home. Everyone else will need a valid visa before boarding. Visas can’t be sorted on arrival, so apply ahead through the ETA app or the Department of Home Affairs website to avoid any last-minute stress.

Time difference between Brisbane and Tokyo

Tokyo is always one hour behind Brisbane, and that won’t change as neither city uses daylight saving. The time difference is already built into your flight schedule, so you’ll land on local time with no surprises.
