FORT WORTH, Texas, March 8, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Here's a chance to check out American Airlines new daily nonstop flights from New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport to Tokyo International Airport at Haneda for a low fare of just $399 each way based on round-trip purchase plus taxes and fees.*

You may even be able to catch the famed blooming of Tokyo's cherry blossoms in early April, since the special fare applies to travel from New York to Tokyo that starts between April 1 and May 31 and is completed by June 30. The fare is also good on American's daily nonstop flights from New York to Tokyo's Narita Airport. But plan now, because you must purchase your ticket by March 10.
