JL017 flies Vancouver to Tokyo Narita; JL018 is the return flight to Vancouver. JAL’s Vancouver guide places departures on the International Terminal’s third floor. At Narita, JAL-operated international flights use Terminal 2, with departures on the main building’s third floor.

Published summer 2026 schedule
JAL’s official Vancouver schedule lists both flights daily from March 29 to October 24, 2026. All times below are local to the named airport; “next day” refers to the destination’s calendar date.

The airline warns that schedules may vary by departure date and remain subject to approval. The reviewed table does not establish the winter 2026/27 timetable: do not carry these clock times into October 25 or later. A missing future table does not mean the flight is cancelled.
Where to check in
JL017: departing Vancouver
JAL’s YVR guide and departure map show the International Terminal, third floor. Check-in opens three hours before departure. A permanent counter row or number was not verified; look for JAL on the day’s displays.
JL018: departing Narita
JAL’s Narita guide specifies Terminal 2 and departures on the main building’s 3F. Its general opening times are 07:00 for check-in and 06:45 for self-service bag drop. These are not a JL018-specific counter assignment or instruction to arrive then.
Online check-in is available from 24 hours to one hour before scheduled departure under JAL’s international boarding instructions. That online window is not an airport arrival recommendation. Follow your booking’s airport check-in and bag-drop deadlines; those route-specific cut-offs were not fully verified in this review. JAL recommends reaching the gate 30 minutes before departure.
Counter location, opening, check-in cut-off and boarding gate are different things. Maps are linked in their original form; none is reproduced here. For a flight operated by another airline, use that operator’s counter even if the ticket has a JL codeshare number.
If the displayed time changes
Check your JAL booking and official flight information for the local departure date. Do not interpret this seasonal timetable as an actual delay or cancellation. Use the JAL certificate, refund, baggage and contact guide for the next steps.
JL018便のチェックインカウンターはどこですか。締め切り時刻も教えてください。
Show this at Narita to ask where JL018 checks in and when check-in closes. A delayed departure does not, by itself, confirm a later check-in deadline.
What is—and is not—verified
The reviewed sources are JAL’s Vancouver timetable, YVR and Narita airport guides, and international boarding instructions, checked October 2, 2026. The schedule period is March 29–October 24; no winter clock times, date-specific counter row, gate number or live operating status were established. This route is one part of the Canada review, not a complete market inventory.
