Kennedy International Airport (JFK) on Japan Airlines&#8217; flight numbers 5 and 6 on even-numbered days in January with the following schedule.<\/p>\n<p><b>Want more airline-specific news? <a href=\"https:\/\/thepointsguy.com\/aviation-newsletter\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Sign up for TPG&#8217;s free biweekly Aviation newsletter<\/a>.<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Japan Airlines Flight 6 \u2014 Departs Tokyo at 11:05 a.m., arrives in New York at 10 a.m.<\/li>\n<li>Japan Airlines Flight 5 \u2014 Departs New York at 12:40 p.m., arrives in Tokyo at 5:15 p.m. (next day)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In February, the A350 will operate to New York on the same flight numbers on odd-numbered days, followed in March by even-numbered days.

When it does, JAL will upgrade Flights 5 and 6 to daily service onboard the A350.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For more details about JAL&#8217;s A350s, check out <a href=\"https:\/\/thepointsguy.com\/news\/japan-airlines-a350-1000-new-interior\/\">TPG&#8217;s first look at the stunning new interiors<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Japan Airlines also shared the second route that will receive A350 service: HND to Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW).
