Japan: Cultural Kaleidoscope

IMPORTANT: Please be advised that United Airlines is now requiring that travelers who are 15 years old or younger travel as Unaccompanied Minors. You can read more about their specific policies here. 

Flight Requirements:

• Fly into and out of Tokyo, Japan (Haneda Airport, airport code: HND)

• Arrive between 6:00 (6am) and 18:00 (6pm) on the day your program begins 

  • • • Please note that you may need to depart 1 calendar day prior in order to arrive on your program start date.

• Depart anytime after 12:00 (noon) until 23:59 (11:59pm) on the day your program ends 

Suggested Route:

The suggested route - usually the most direct, with the least number of stops, always leaves from a US gateway airport. Often times, multiple students from the same program will be on this flight, simply because it is a popular route to take. We cannot guarantee that other students will be on this flight, but very often, there are. You do not have to take the suggested route, it is just one option. You may take any flight you wish that falls within the flight parameters above.
