Japan Airlines is inviting 50,000 people to fly for free to the island nation. The deal is only for visitors to Japan in summer 2020.
The offer is part of a marketing campaign to get people to visit less-frequented cities. If you want to explore Japan, now’s your time. The Travel period is from this specific time period only: July 1, 2020 to September 30.
Here’s How To Travel To Japan For Free
Japan is offering up to 100,000 seats on Japan Airlines domestic routes. Here are the details you need to know:
- This campaign provides “round-trip air tickets”, so the number of available passengers is “maximum 50,000”.
- There are a limited number of available seats, so in some cases no destinations will be shown.
To take advantage of the offer, you have to do three things:
- Click on the Application Screen: Trip with JAL application screen and choose a departure location, day, number of people and time slot
- Choose Among Four Destinations: Enter passenger information and apply
- Get Your Destination Confirmed: You’ll get an email within 3 days of applying telling you your destination
Since air traffic drops off significantly late at night, early morning offers most airlines and airports a clean slate from which to launch a new day of on-time departures. And while these best intentions often don’t make it to lunchtime, booking an early-morning flight can mean avoiding the worst delays of the day.
Once you get your passport, you should be ready for your trip. Make sure you have found the cheapest flights from Atlanta that are on sale.
To Atlanta is one of the most convenient places to travel to and from. A large part of that is because Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport is so accessible.
Not only is it the world’s busiest airport, but it’s state-of-the-art in every way. If you’re interesting in traveling around Atlanta via car or even on scooter, here’s what to know.

Atlanta, especially Fulton County, is among places where it’s most affordable to rent rather than buy a home, according to a new study.
That’s not the case in other areas: Buying a home is more affordable than renting one in most metropolitan counties analyzed in a new survey.
Cheaper To Rent An Atlanta Home, Study Says
Figures from Attom Data Solutions‘ 2020 Rental Affordability Report show that owning a median-priced, three-bedroom home is more affordable than renting a three-bedroom property in 53% of the U.S. counties analyzed for the report.
Among counties with a population of 1 million or more, those most affordable for renting are:
- Allegheny County (Pittsburgh), PA (24.3%)
- Cuyahoga County (Cleveland), OH (25.6%)
- Fulton County (Atlanta), GA (26.2%)
- Oakland County, MI (outside Detroit) (26.6%)
- Wayne County (Detroit), MI (27.5%)
But those areas were the exception. In 455 of the 855 U.S. counties surveyed, the numbers showed that it’s cheaper to buy a home than rent one.
The analysis highlights a split between different-sized markets, with ownership more affordable mainly in lightly populated counties and renting more affordable in more populous suburban or urban areas, the study says.
“Home ownership is a better deal than renting for the average wage earner in a slim majority of U.S. housing markets. However, there are distinct differences between different places, depending on the size and location from core metro areas,” said Todd Teta, chief product officer with ATTOM Data Solutions. “For sure, either buying or renting is a financial stretch or out of reach for individual wage earners throughout most of the country in the current climate. But with interest rates falling, owning a home can still be the more affordable option, even as prices keep rising.”
Last Thought
In 94, or 69%, of the 136 counties in the report that have a population of at least 500,000 or more, renting is more affordable than buying a home.
You may be wondering what it takes to buy a home in Atlanta, as the forecast for this year predicted, prices in certain areas are increasing. But that doesn’t mean you can’t find a nice home in metro Atlanta.
The first step in the process is to get pre-qualified for a mortgage.
There’s also ample opportunities to rent your home for cash. Keep up with what’s going on in Atlanta’s real estate scene on our Real Estate page.
