If you missed the November mileage run from Philadelphia to Tokyo I posted last month, here’s one for December. This one yields even more MQM!
So if you couldn’t take advantage of that run — or are like me and find any excuse possible to visit Tokyo — here you go!
This Main Cabin, long weekend trip departs Philly early Friday morning December 6 and returns home late Sunday night.
You have Saturday night and a chunk of Sunday to enjoy the food, sights, food, entertainment, food, and food of Tokyo 🙂
Not to mention, Tokyo loves Christmas season — so there are plenty of gorgeous displays to enjoy at hotels and around town.
- Date: Friday, December 6 and returning late Sunday night/early AM, December 8/9
- Route: PHL-ATL-MSP-HND. Overnight in Tokyo. HND-LAX-ATL-PHL.
- Cost: $694.85
- MQM: 15,652 (4.4 cpm)
- MQD: $578
Here’s a Google Flights link to help you.
If you were targeted for one of the Amex Offers involving Delta, you can save a few bucks off the fare.

A 35 minute connection in MSP???? Lots of luck with that. When you land, they are already boarding your flight to HND. And they close the door early on this flight, sometimes 10 minutes early. I would say there is a good chance of missing the flight to Japan. If that happens, I wonder what one’s options are. Would DL allow you to return to PHL and give you the MQM, if you allow them to keep the money as if you had flown?
