シドニー、メルボルン、ブリスベン発。カンタス、JAL、ジェットスターのスキーバッグ規定を比較。
The Long Haul North For Australians, Japan is the ultimate "easy" ski trip. It’s in the same time zone, it’s an overnight flight, and there’s no jet lag. The Reality: The flight is easy, but the baggage allowance is the battleground. If you are an Aussie skier, your airline choice is everything. At JapanSnowWatch, we’ve analyzed the 2026/27 routes from Down Under. --- 1. The Premium Choice: Qantas & JAL Routes: Direct from SYD/MEL/BNE to Haneda or Narita. The Pro: 30kg - 46kg (2 bags) allowance is standard. They usually treat a ski bag as just one piece of luggage.
Yuki's Take: If you own your own skis, book JAL or Qantas. The extra $200 in ticket price is worth the peace of mind of not paying $300 in baggage fees. 2. The Budget Choice: Jetstar Routes: Direct from CNS (Cairns), BNE, and SYD to Narita or Osaka. The Catch: Everything costs extra. You must pre-book "Oversized Baggage." The Trap: Jetstar's domestic connections in Japan (Jetstar Japan) have much stricter weight limits than the international leg. If you book a thru-ticket to Sapporo, watch your weight. 3. The "Hokkaido Direct" Dream Currently, there are no year-round direct flights from Australia to Sapporo (Chitose).
The Strategy: Fly to Haneda. It is much easier to transfer to a domestic flight at Haneda than Narita. You just change floors, and the bags can often be checked through. --- If you are flying from Sydney or Melbourne, take the overnight flight. You land at 6 AM, catch the 8 AM bus, and you can be on the slopes in Hakuba by 1 PM. You don't lose a single day of skiing. Pro-Tip: Aussies love a flat white. Don't worry—most Australian-owned coffee shops in Niseko and Hakuba open early to welcome the flight arrivals.
