BANGKOK, 13 January 2026: Thai Vietjet has postponed the launch of its direct Bangkok-Tokyo Narita flights from 16 January to 1 February, according to the latest airline schedules and travel updates.
The direct daily service will fly from the airline’s home base at Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi Airport to Narita, Tokyo. Flight time is six hours. Agoda lists a starting round-trip fare of USD422. (February dates).
Passengers who booked the direct flight in January have the option to rebook in February or take the airline’s Bangkok-Hanoi or Bangkok-HCMC flights to connect to Narita-bound flights. (Flight times of 10 to 15 hours, depending on connections.)
If you must take a direct flight in January, consider Thai AirAsia X (from Bangkok DMK) or ZIPAIR (from Bangkok BKK), which are low-cost carriers offering direct flights to Tokyo NRT.
Thai Vietjet initially announced 16 January as the inaugural flight date, but due to delays in the delivery and “introduction schedule” of its new aircraft fleet, the airline pushed back the start date to 1 February. It results in an aircraft change from the 230-seat Airbus A321 to the 189-seat Boeing 737 MAX 8.

VZ830 departs Bangkok (BKK) at 2355 and arrives in Narita, Tokyo (NRT) at 0755 plus a day.
VZ831 departs Narita Tokyo (NRT) at 0855 and arrives in Bangkok (BKK) at 1430.
