The Upshot
Flag carrier Japan Airlines, an official sponsor of the 2020 Olympics, is adding flights along with its partners to Haneda Airport. Japan Airlines photo.
This is a big international expansion in capacity. Much of the new Haneda Airport service is replacing capacity to the further-from-Tokyo Narita, but for those actually visiting Tokyo (and not just in transit), the new flights will make travel much more convenient.
