LAX to HND (Tokyo)
Hi there,
I'm new here. Hope this is the right forum to post my question.
I fly frequently from LAX to NRT, Tokyo, but this time, I want to try LAX to HND because HND is much closer to Tokyo city center. I have 4 options: Delta, UA, UA/ANA code share and Continental/ANA code share. They all leave LAX approx. 1am and land HND 5am. Prices range from $967-975, so not much difference.
What would be your choice and why? Thanks in advance!

What airline do you usually fly on other routes? For that matter, what airline do you usually use for LAX-NRT?
ANA is better than Delta service-wise, and is the wiser choice if you're a Star Alliance flyer.

LAX-HND is currently operated by only ANA and Delta. I'd fly ANA for several reasons related to where I accumulate miles and which service I think is better. At the price you've listed I'm guessing it is economy class and I'd definitely prefer ANA there. I flew HNL-HND on ANA this week and found it quite reasonable all things considered.
The UA and CO codeshare flights have the potential to cause issues and are generally not advisable unless the cost savings is significant enough to justify dealing with those quirks.
