ZIPAIR Tokyo will operate a special, one-time direct charter flight to Las Vegas in June.
Coinciding with the 2026 World Series of Poker (WSOP), the airline is collaborating with Japanese professional poker player Masato Yokosawa and Japan Airlines (JAL) Group tour division JALPAK to provide an opportunity for around 290 Japanese poker enthusiasts to be at the event live in Las Vegas.
Promoted by Yokosawa’s YouTube channel “Sekai no Yokosawa,” the flights can be booked through JALPAK. The outbound flight from Tokyo Narita to Las Vegas will depart in the afternoon of June 22 and arrive in the morning. The return flight will depart Las Vegas on June 28. While a more detailed flight schedule will be announced later, ZIPAIR Tokyo’s Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner aircraft will be used on the two special flights.
The flights are part of a package being sold by JALPAK which includes ground transportation and hotel accommodation at Las Vegas. Onboard, guests will be able to participate in an inflight poker event and receive limited gifts.
This year’s edition of the WSOP will be held in Las Vegas from May 26 to July 13.
The collaboration between Yokosawa and ZIPAIR Tokyo is the second to provide special charter flights to the United States this year. ZIPAIR Tokyo previously collaborated with Disney Destinations International and two Japan-based tour companies – JTB and HIS- to operate four charter flights between Narita and Orlando in February and March this year.
