Flight Deals from Osaka International Airport to Kochi from $219

The flight from Osaka to Kochi is about 130 miles, with a typical nonstop flight time of 45 minutes. The return direction is also 45 minutes.

Methodology

Flight times and distances come from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). The typical flight time is the median scheduled block time across all carriers on the route, computed the same way in both directions so the difference reflects prevailing winds rather than any change in method. Distance is the great-circle distance between the two airports, so the actual flown track is typically 2-5% longer.

All Nippon Airways flies non-stop from Osaka Itami to Kochi, with 42 flights each week. The service runs daily, with six departures a day at 07:15, 10:00, 13:20, 16:05, 17:55, and 19:00. All Nippon Airways is the only airline currently scheduled non-stop on this route.

Methodology

Airlines and weekly frequencies are compiled from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). We count each operating carrier's scheduled weekly departures and the days it flies; where there is no nonstop service, connecting carriers are identified by linking scheduled nonstop segments through common hub airports. Where a median fare is shown for a carrier, it reflects the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours.

Kōchi Ryōma Airport (KCZ) is connected to downtown Kōchi by scheduled limousine bus, which is the most-used option and runs directly to Kōchi Station in about 30–40 minutes. Taxis are available at the terminal and offer a faster door-to-door trip, though at a notably higher fare. There is no rail link at the airport, and ride-share services are not established; rental cars are offered on-site for travelers planning to explore Shikoku independently.

No overnight or red-eye flights operate from Osaka (Itami) to Kochi — there are no nonstop red-eyes on this route, and no connecting itinerary has an overnight long leg either.

Methodology

Red-eye flights are identified from scheduled local departure and arrival times and block times in our flight-schedule database — built from published airline timetables and official schedule data, including U.S. Department of Transportation records for domestic routes. A flight counts as a red-eye when it departs in the afternoon or evening (3 p.m. or later local time) or in the early hours before 4 a.m., and is in the air at some point between midnight and 4 a.m. local time at both its departure airport and its arrival airport. An evening flight that lands before midnight at its destination is never counted, nor is a morning departure or a daytime long-haul that reaches the next calendar date only because of time zones. Each red-eye is labelled with its timing (for example, overnight and landing the next morning, or late-night and landing after midnight). For connecting itineraries the same rule is applied to the longer leg, from one representative day's flight search.

All Nippon Airways currently operates the nonstop route from Osaka Itami to Kochi with De Havilland Dash 8-400 turboprops. It is the only airline scheduled nonstop on this route in the coming week.

Methodology

Aircraft types come from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). For U.S. routes the type is grounded in the tail number that actually operated the flight; elsewhere it comes from the airline's filed equipment code. Where the source does not commit to a specific variant we name the aircraft family (for example Airbus A320 family) rather than guess, and where no reliable type is on file the aircraft is omitted rather than estimated. Types describe typical scheduled equipment and can vary with seasonal or day-of-week assignments and last-minute swaps.

All Nippon Airways (ANA), a Star Alliance member, is the airline currently scheduled nonstop on the Osaka to Kochi route, with six daily departures throughout the week. Star Alliance is therefore the only alliance serving this route nonstop; other alliances may connect through other cities without naming specific carriers.
