To claim the free tickets, passengers must book round-trip international flights with the same airline and the domestic flights must be booked in the same reservation as the international flights.

A stopover fee of US$100 will be charged to travellers from the US, Canada, Mexico and China who plan to stay in their first destination for more than 24 hours.

A spokesperson for Japan Airlines said that “no end date has been set” for the initiative.

The new initiative means lesser-known cities and towns will become more accessible.
