Zipair, a Japanese low-cost airline headquartered at NRT, wholly owned subsidiary of Japan Airlines, via Travelocity have round trip airfares travelling from Los Angeles (LAX) to Narita Tokyo (NRT) for $428, nonstop. ZIPAIR Tokyo offers six flights from LAX to NRT every week. You may earn ZIPAIR points or exchange JAL (Japan Air Lines) points. ZIPAIR has Boeing 787 Dreamliners in their fleet.
You are allowed a personal item that fits under the seat in front of you, weighing up to 15 lbs. And honestly, 15 lbs packs a lot if you leave your laptop at home. There is FREE wifi onboard throughout the entire flight. Some might say it never worked for them but it does, you'll have to scan the QR code on the back of the seat in front of you and then connect. In-flight food may be purchased in advance or onboard, based on availability....costs about $11 for a hot meal. You'll need 2 because outbound flight is about 11 hrs and return is about 9 hrs. Easy-peasy flight if you fall asleep.
Travel Availability:
Departs LAX: April 21, 23, 24, 25, 28, 29
Returns: May 7-30
To get this airfare deal, use the dates above and book on
Travelocity [travelocity.com] You may also purchase directly on Zipair but it is slightly higher.

EDIT: After I wrote the comment above, I read the OP throughly and realized one meal is $11 which I think is very decent price for the hot meal Japanese airlines usually serve on the flight to Japan.
Another question for you. Did you only buy one meal on the 10+ long hour flight to Japan?
Food is smoke and mirrors on most airlines. Too little and microwave meat is not ideal.
Would pay for healthier meal
They will absolutely weigh your carry ons. All of them. 8kg limit isn't only for stowed carrying, also includes personal item.
...and they're not into topping off every flight.
And if you think that's easy,

Read up on the things that keep 777 pilots up at night - like why's my fuel readings off?!

If they weighed their passengers I'd give what you say more credit
The airline is no frills but at least the seats can recline and the tray table is of a regular size, unlike say Frontier Airlines. Skip to ~6:09 of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VHqYF_8
The on-board free wi-fi to reach the Internet (not the streaming content and ordering items on the plane) might be unstably slow (even for checking emails w/o images turned off) for most of the flight. Long story... Basically, don't count it being usable. If it works, score.
My total including taxes, fees, extra, etc. round trip when I did SJO <-> NRT late 2023 was $914.44. I had gone for Japan Mobility Show (fka Tokyo Motor Show) + a bunch of other sightseeing in Japan.
Oh and the food need to be ordered 72h before flight!
I assume you got sushi from Seven Eleven at the airport in Tokyo to eat on the flight back to the US? I believe there is Seven Eleven at Haneda Airport. We got some breads and snack on our way home to the US last summer.
Yes, I know you have to put special meal requests in advance for flights, so I expected same for any meal requests for Zip Air.

Both Japan Airline and ANA have pretty good on flight meals. We are always satisfied with the amount and flavors of their meals. I did not feel they were unhealthy, either. You know, Japanese have higher standard for food and customer service, in general. Since Japan Airline owns Zip Air, I have no doubt about their food and customer service qualities.
