CES is one of Las Vegas' biggest annual conventions, and airlines often add extra service in light of this. Not only do they often increase frequencies or upgrade aircraft types on existing routes, but sometimes they also temporarily add new routes altogether. American Airlines will be operating nonstop flights between Tokyo Narita and Las Vegas…

Last year as I recall it was a 787 and included a flight from LAS-ORD. Is this 777 continuing on to any other domestic hubs between flights?
"the flight from Tokyo to Las Vegas lands 20 minutes before the flight from Las Vegas to Tokyo departs"
After, not before?
Delta is doing even more. From 4 to 11 January, Delta will operate flights from Las Vegas to both Tokyo Narita AND Paris CDG, on the A330-300 and 777-200LR respectively.
DL also has a one off PVG-LAS, as well as AMS-LAS & ICN-LAS in addition to the aforementioned NRT-LAS and CDG-LAS.
I flew BKK-PVG(Beijing)-Las on Hainain return in economy once was so cheap, like $600-700usd.
Was crazy cheap and flighy from PVG to LAS was barely full, I think I was the only Caucasian on the flight.
It wasn't pleasant with loud, unruly, obnoxious passengers and misbehaving kids but for that price I would do it again. Some excellent fares on this route even im business class can be bought originating in Thailand or even Hong Kong
Yeah, don't think this is really news, this happened last year and is commonplace for LAS this time of year.
@Kyall -- "I flew BKK-PVG(Beijing)-Las on Hainain return in economy once was so cheap, like $600-700usd."
PVG refers to Shanghai Pudong International Airport ... did you mean PEK, instead, for Beijing?
Nitpick: "direct" flight used to mean Point A to Point B with a stop, and no change of planes.
"Nonstop" meant Point A to Point B with no stops. So when did "direct" replace "nonstop" in the airline operating nomenclature? Both still exist, especially on Southwest.
Ben - I know you know better than this - is it "Direct" or "Non-Stop"? If Direct please tell me where it stops enroute (with same flight number). Pet peeve is people that have no clue saying a flight is direct when they mean non-stop but have no clue that each means something different in the airline business. Obviously you know the difference so why use the wrong term in the header (you correctly listed it as non-stop in the actual article)?
Non stop. Is non stop. Aircraft leaves point A and arrives point B NON STOP. Direct flight means aircraft leaves point A enroute to point B but makes a stop. So LAX - CLT stops in DFW with no change of equipment....that is DIRECT. Stupid....but that’s the way it is......been an FA for 32 years.....fly safe!
Yes, I agree. The terminology started getting screwed up around 25 years ago or morw, when there werea lot more "direct"flights prior to the hub and spoke type operation. I once took a direct flight from ORD to Manchester, NH on Delta, with stops at DTW, CLE, and BTV. But, it was a direct flight!
