First introduced in 1997, the special JAL fare usually offers domestic flights at the fixed rate of ¥12,600 per sector, including tax. From May 25 until July 5, domestic flight sectors will be ¥6,300. The World Cup tournament starts on May 31 and ends on June 30.

"Welcome to Japan" fares can be used to all cities in Japan served by JAL and its subsidiaries, JAL Express (JEX) and Japan Transocean Air (JTA).
