Another surprise is that Delta's transpacific routes including Hawaii － Japan flights now charge a fee for the second piece of baggage ( $ 100€).

Delta Amex Gold has a free first baggage allowance, but
this allowance does not allow the second baggage to be free.

I think this is an emergency measure for the Corona disaster and hope that the second piece will be free in time.

Thank you for sharing, Koji-san.
I see that you are also a user of Nagoya flights.
I am too. But,
Delta's postponement and second baggage $ 100 is painful.
I'm more worried about the Nagoya flight being withdrawn since I have quite a few miles accumulated on Delta.

JAL, ANA, and Hawaiian issue tickets to Nagoya via Tokyo, but Delta has no domestic flights.

At any rate, I hope JAL will not change their direct flights.

Thanks for sharing. I was looking forward to going back at the end of the year because I got a cheap ticket to Tokyo Haneda. But ！ I was surprised when I read this article and checked my reservation and it was cancelled. I'm worried that my money will be refunded because I was sure I would be flying at the end of the year.

About 10 years ago, when I had an emergency return trip to Japan, Delta was very good to me and I have been using Delta Nagoya flights ever since.
I had assumed that I could use this flight, but it has completely changed with Corona.
As you said, Delta does not have domestic flights within Japan, so if you fly to Tokyo and then to Nagoya, you will have to pay extra for the Shinkansen and other expenses. JAL's Nagoya-Tokyo-Honolulu route has many earlier flights departing from Nagoya, so I really hope they will fly as scheduled.

＞ Mr. KUMIHASHI
I am sorry to hear that your booked flight has been cancelled.
I see that you did not receive any notice of cancellation by e-mail or otherwise.
Since the flight itself is cancelled, I hope it is a full refund.
You can call Delta's Japan office at +81-50-3850-8388 ） at 14:00 or earlier in Hawaii and you will be connected immediately.

From a quick look, Honolulu-Haneda flights are currently around $ 1200 for each company.
All companies seem to be charging a fuel surcharge for flights to/from Japan, so the price will go up from October.
I read somewhere that the fuel surcharge for December-January tickets is about the same as for August-September tickets,
I guess it is better to buy now than later ＆ I guess I am safe.

In my case, I was planning to fly to Haneda using e-credit $ 200, but
it was cancelled and I had to give up.

Earlier this year, Delta Air Lines had made the Honolulu － Haneda route available for booking, but
yesterday, when I checked the June flights, only flights via were available.
I called Delta to see if this was the case, and was told that they are currently reconsidering the start date of this route, and
no information has come down to the inquiry desk as to when exactly it will start.

If you have already made a reservation and have not received a flight cancellation notice, please check with us.
The number you can call from the U.S. in Japanese is 800-327-2850.

Honolulu － With this situation at Haneda, it seems unlikely that the Honolulu － Nagoya route will be restored in the near future.
I think we need to consider including credit cards.

By the way, when I checked a few weeks ago,
the second piece of baggage on the Pacific route is now free, the same as before Corona.

Koji,
I am one of those who used to fly Delta because my parents live in Nagoya.
About 2 weeks ago, I was searching for tickets
Honolulu → Haneda → Nagoya for $ 1300.
Haneda to Nagoya was by ANA, so I thought it would be possible if I didn't have to get a separate domestic ticket.

Honolulu → Haneda is the only place to fly with miles, but
I thought it would be a good way to use up the miles I had accumulated.

but I also checked yesterday and it only comes up via Korea.

And while I was in Japan in late January, I saw on the Japanese news that Delta Honolulu ↔ Nagoya is pulling out.

I can't find anything by looking it up, so I'll paste avi-times's.

I have quite a few miles I have saved, but I am thinking of selling them on Mercari in Japan ？.

nuiloamanma,

thanks for the link.
I had seen the news about Delta stopping Nagoya － Detroit flights and withdrawing from Centrair, but I didn't understand until
the link that they were completely withdrawing and would not be coming back in the future.
I know a friend of mine who is a flight attendant for Delta, so I will ask him if I can get the inside scoop.

Honolulu like nuiloamanma found → Haneda → I think it is possible if Delta arranges the flight to Nagoya, but
if not, it is quite hard because the cost of bullet train or domestic flight is added.
The situation may change again when the corona and the weak yen/strong dollar ends and more people travel to Hawaii, but I don't know when that will be ～.

The Amex Delta Gold card seems to be downgradeable to the Blue with no annual fee, so
we don't have to worry about the impact on our credit score.
The recent award for Gold seems to be a 15% reduction in miles required, so it might be a good idea to use that before downgrading. But even with the award, you still need 85,000 miles, which is much higher than in the past. I wonder if the required miles will drop when the fuel surcharge settles down.
