United Relaunches Chicago-to-Tokyo Nonstop Route (simpleflying.com)

United Airlines restored daily year-round nonstop service between Chicago O'Hare and Tokyo Narita on October 24, a roughly 14-hour flight operated with a 243-seat Boeing 787-8. The move follows the carrier's inability to secure more slots at Tokyo Haneda, and United now offers 13 daily flights to Japan from the U.S., along with fifth-freedom routes from Narita to the Philippines, Taiwan, Mongolia, Saipan, and Palau. The Dreamliner carries 28 Polaris business suites, 21 Premium Plus seats, 36 Economy Plus seats, and standard economy.
