NH73 from Tokyo to Sapporo, tracked live

NH73 distance and great-circle path

NH73 covers 820 km, or 510 miles. That makes it a short-haul flight, a single-aisle hop where turnaround time matters more than range. Of the 279 routes we track, it ranks 255 by distance.

Both ends of this route are in Japan. It is 820 km of domestic flying north, from Tokyo to Sapporo. Tokyo and Sapporo keep the same clock, so the arrival time on the ticket is the flight time plus the departure time, with nothing to convert.

Our guide explains how the HND-CTS route appears on a tracker map.

What to know about NH73

• Time change: none. Both cities keep the same clock, so arrival time reads exactly as you expect.

What flying HND to CTS takes

It is a short-haul sector, a single-aisle hop where turnaround time matters more than range. All Nippon Airways needs a narrowbody such as an A320 or 737 family aircraft: comfortably inside single-aisle range with fuel to spare for a diversion.

How we verified this

The origin and destination on this page are the ones we verified for callsign ANA73 through adsbdb, not a schedule copied from elsewhere. We have logged it airborne on 6 days between 2026-09-20 and 2026-09-26. Timings are observations, not an official operational status: always confirm with the airline before travelling.

This page was published from our own tracking record rather than a third-party schedule feed, so it grows as we see the flight again. The seven-day log below is the raw version of the same evidence.

We track 3 scheduled services between Tokyo and Sapporo, split between All Nippon Airways and Japan Airlines. It sits in the middle of the pack on both departure time and scheduled duration.

Measured against NH73:

• NH37 (All Nippon Airways) runs the same pairing, on a Boeing 777-200.
• JL515 (Japan Airlines) runs the same pairing, on an Airbus A350-900.

Block time is gate to gate, so it counts taxi at both ends. That is why two flights covering identical distance rarely share a scheduled duration.

Our database contains 6 observations of NH73 across 6 UTC dates in this window, most recently 2026-09-26. Those records contain 5 distinct transponder addresses. The most frequently resolved route was HND-CTS (6 records).

The median recorded visibility was 89 minutes. That is time inside receiver coverage, not airborne duration or an on-time-performance measurement.
