About the Miami (MIA) to Tokyo (NRT) shipping route by air

Air cargo from MIA to NRT flies about 12,544 km, north west from Miami (MIA), United States to Tokyo (NRT), Japan. On a straight great circle the airports are 11,947 km apart.

Flight time is about 16 h 24 min at 800 km/h block speed. On a route this long many freighters make a technical stop for fuel, so the shipment may land somewhere in between. Door to door air freight transit time is usually 1 to 3 days longer than the flight because of acceptance, security screening, customs and handling at both airports.

We have no direct flight data for MIA to NRT this week. Cargo on such pairs usually connects through a hub, which adds a day or more to the transit time.

Air freight rates are charged per kilogram of chargeable weight: the higher of the actual weight and the volume weight (length x width x height in cm divided by 6,000). Light, bulky cargo pays for space, so compact packing on Miami to Tokyo saves money. The shipment crosses from the United States into Japan, so export and import customs clearance are part of the lead time.
