SHIPPING LUGGAGE TO HANEDA AIRPORT


Your journey to Haneda Airport will now be a breeze with Japan Airlines' (JAL) simple baggage delivery service.  We can now say goodbye to heavy luggage and crowded trains – this guide will show you how to effortlessly send and receive your suitcases from the comfort of your home in the Kanto area! Please note that this service will deliver your bags to Haneda Airport Terminal 3 (International)!

Step 1: Since a reservation is required in advance. I recommend making a reservation at least one week before departure but you can make a reservation up to a month in advance! Navigate to the JAL baggage delivery service website HERE and fill out the form. 

Step 2: Fill out the form. Things to be careful of when filling out the web form. 

  • Gather the important information about your flight, such as flight number and departure time
  • Be precise regarding your departure date and the time you will be at the airport to pickup your bags
  • For those coming back to Japan, will you be needing baggage delivery back to your home?
  • Please note that if you select Yamato as the delivery service, the maximum size is 160 size and 25 kg. If your bag is above that size, make sure that it isn't over weight.
  • If you would like to send 10 or more bags, you will have to call.
Step 3: Choose your payment method. You can choose to pay beforehand by credit card online or at the counter when you pickup (cash, e-money, JAL coupons, credit card). 

Step 4: Select your desired shipping company and pick-up time and date. Take note of when your bags will make it to the airport. Many people mistakenly think it is the same day or next day, but often times it will arrive at the airport two days later.

Step 5: Print out all of your materials and prepare your luggage for pick-up



Step 6: On the day of pick-up, you will receive a confirmation slip. Please bring this with you to the pick-up counter.

Step 7: Navigate to the pick-up counter on the day of pick-up. Please give the staff your confirmation slips. And the staff will have you pay. For two suitcases, it was 5,300 yen. And that is it!



Although it can be a bit expensive (About 2,500 yen per suitcase), I feel like it was worth the price to send my luggage to the airport, especially when navigating buses and trains. It was so seamless and easy, that I think this will be the only way I travel to the airport if I have more than one piece of luggage!
