Average price of flights between Melbourne and Tokyo

Prices may fluctuate depending on Japan’s sakura (cherry blossom) season in spring and autumn’s momiji (red maple leaf) season, which are considered peak travel times. Secure your tickets now through Traveloka to get the best price!

Where is the airport in Tokyo?

Tokyo has two major airports:

Narita International Airport (NRT): Located about 60km from Tokyo city centre, Narita is the central hub for international flights. The Narita Express (N’EX) train is a convenient option for reaching the city within an hour.
Haneda Airport (HND): Closer to the city (approximately 14km), Haneda is perfect for travellers looking for a shorter transfer. It's well-connected via trains and taxis, making it a great gateway to Tokyo.

Visa requirements for Australians flying to Tokyo

Good news for Australian travellers! Japan allows Australian passport holders to visit visa-free for up to 90 days. Make sure your passport is valid for at least six months beyond your planned stay, and you're good to go.

Time difference between Melbourne and Tokyo

Tokyo is 2 hours behind Melbourne (AEST), but keep in mind that this difference changes during daylight savings when Melbourne moves an hour ahead. Arriving flights will already reflect the local time difference, making it an easy adjustment and leaving more time for exploring and less for jet lag recovery.

Cheapest airport to fly from Melbourne to Japan

Melbourne Tullamarine Airport (MEL) is the most commonly used airport for flying from Melbourne to Japan due to its frequent flights and competitive fare options. It’s advisable to compare fares across airlines and booking platforms, as prices can vary depending on the season and demand.

Frequency of direct flights from Melbourne to Tokyo

Direct flights from Melbourne to Tokyo are relatively frequent, with airlines offering multiple flights weekly. Carriers like Japan Airlines and Qantas provide direct routes, making it convenient to travel without the need for layovers.

Is it better to fly to Melbourne from Haneda or Narita?

When choosing between Haneda and Narita airports for flights to Melbourne, it often depends on convenience and personal preferences. Haneda Airport is closer to central Tokyo, offering shorter travel times to the airport, which can be a benefit if you’re staying in the city. On the other hand, Narita Airport handles a more significant number of international flights and may offer more options for carriers and schedules. Additionally, ticket prices can vary, so it’s worth comparing costs and times for flights departing from each airport to determine what works best for your itinerary.

What's the best airline flying between Melbourne and Tokyo?

The best airline between Melbourne and Tokyo depends on what you prioritise during your travel. Qantas and Japan Airlines are highly regarded for their direct flights, excellent service, and comfortable seating, making them top choices for many travellers. If you’re looking for budget-friendly options, consider checking fares with airlines like Jetstar, which occasionally offer lower-cost alternatives. Reviews of inflight amenities, baggage allowances, and timing can help you decide which airline best aligns with your needs.
