Flying Honolulu to Tokyo covers about 3,810 miles, linking Daniel K. Inouye International Airport (HNL) with Narita International Airport (NRT); a nonstop takes roughly 8h10, with winds moving it either way. Japan Airlines and ANA both carry nonstop award space in the data. Aircraft logged on those nonstops include the Airbus A380-800 and Boeing 767. Nonstops account for about 16% of the award options in the data.
Settle the cabin before the program: on a long-haul trip like Honolulu–Tokyo, it moves the price most. The economy floor is a partner booking on a Japan Airlines nonstop, with no connection to trade off against the points. Its listed taxes, about $18, look incomplete for an international departure, so confirm the cash cost at checkout. Stepping up costs about 1.3 times the economy points for premium economy and about 3.7 times for business. A nonstop first-class seat undercuts business here, so price it before settling.
Alaska Atmos Rewards takes economy at 30,000 points and premium economy at 40,000. United MileagePlus is cheapest in business class at 110,000 points on an ANA nonstop. Air Canada Aeroplan wins first class at 90,000 points on an ANA nonstop. Of the other five, Qantas Frequent Flyer, Avianca LifeMiles, and Air France-KLM Flying Blue are worth a look too.
Honolulu–Tokyo draws nonstop award space from two alliances: Japan Airlines (oneworld) and ANA (Star Alliance). Partner programs in both alliances can each book a nonstop. Partner pricing sets the business-class floor: United MileagePlus books ANA as a Star Alliance partner, and no program prices ANA lower in that cabin at last check.
Arriving in the Tokyo area, Haneda (HND) undercuts the route's 30,000-point economy floor at 20,750 points. Haneda has nonstop flights from Honolulu in the data too. The return, Tokyo to Honolulu, has its own page, since award pricing can differ by direction. For another way into Tokyo, Las Vegas to Tokyo prices from 34,700 points at last check.
