American Airlines and transpacific partner Japan Airlines will operate special flights for Asian tech fans to attend CES 2019 in Las Vegas next year.
American will operate the flight from Tokyo Narita to Vegas from January 4-14, 2019 to meet additional demand.
Flights will be operated on American’s Boeing 787-8 and will be marketed through Japan Airlines’ channels.
Thousands of travelers from Japan and other parts of Asia make their way to Las Vegas every year for CES," said Shane Hodges, Asia Pacific sales MD for American.
"The network and onboard experience offered by American and Japan Airlines as part of our Pacific Joint Business is world-class, and we are thrilled to make getting to the world’s largest technology event faster and easier than ever before."
The two-class service features 28 fully lie-flat seats.
Ticket sales go live on August 6.
"Travelers in Asia are discerning, wanting the best schedule on the best aircraft. This special service allows us to do that, while closely working with American to tailor it to the needs of Japanese customers," said Noboru Hirai, JAL’s vice president of international passenger sales and planning.
