All Nippon Airways is opening a domestic Japan fare sale on April 24, with one-way tickets for late May through August starting below ¥10,000 on major routes. (ana.co.jp) ANA says the sale runs from 12:00 a.m. on Friday, April 24, 2026, through 11:59 p.m. on Thursday, April 30, 2026, for travel from May 23 through August 31. The carrier lists Tokyo Haneda–Osaka Itami from ¥9,570 one way, Haneda–Fukuoka from ¥11,880, and Haneda–Naha from ¥11,880. (ana.co.jp) The cheapest example on ANA’s sale page is Naha–Ishigaki at ¥5,720 one way. Other sample fares include Haneda–Sapporo from ¥11,220, Haneda–Hiroshima from ¥10,230, and Nagoya Chubu–Sapporo from ¥9,900. (ana.co.jp) The sale lands just before Japan’s summer peak, when school holidays and Obon travel usually push domestic airfares higher. ANA is selling seats through the end of August, but it says inventory is limited by route, date, and flight. (ana.co.jp) ANA is also using this sale to steer customers into a new domestic fare structure that starts with flights on and after May 19, 2026. The airline’s fare rules say the new “Sale” category applies only to flights from that date onward. (ana.co.jp; ana.co.jp) The airline says it has revised sale prices upward because of higher costs including aviation fuel. That means the promotion is still a discount, but ANA is warning customers not to expect the same floor prices as earlier rounds. (ana.co.jp) The rules are tight. Tickets are sold only on ANA’s website, payment is due by 11:59 p.m. on the day of booking, and changes, upgrades, stopovers, and waitlisting are not allowed. (ana.co.jp; ana.co.jp) Refunds are allowed, but ANA says cancellation fees rise sharply as departure nears: about 20% of the fare from purchase until 45 days before departure, about 40% from 44 to 28 days out, and about 60% from 27 days before departure until departure time. After departure, the fare is effectively forfeited except for taxes and passenger facility charges. (ana.co.jp) ANA also says the sale fares may not appear immediately when booking opens and that heavy traffic can make its website hard to reach during the promotion window. For travelers trying to lock in summer trips, that makes speed almost as important as the fare itself. (ana.co.jp)
