This deal is back where you can get a direct flight to Tokyo with a free one way domestic flight to another city like Sapporo, Osaka, Fukuoka etc.
While the previous deal did say "from $999" I was only ever able to get prices around $1077 due to currency fluctuations and for this deal I'm seeing prices around $1032, so it may ended up cheaper than last time. For example this trip with a connection to Sapporo added in came to $1032.96.
If you haven't flown ANA before you get 2x 23kg checked bags in economy and if you prefer business class you can get direct flights as low as $2732 from this deal. You can get the free domestic flight with business as long as it's within the dates specified below.
The option to add in an extra city on the booking page can be found here.

I still prefer JAL economy over ANA.
Why?
JAL on their B787-9s (SYD) and B787-8s (MEL) have a 2-4-2 Economy Class (8 Abreast) versus ANA with 9 abreast seating.
JAL also is now using B77Ws from SYD which is 3-3-3 versus the new industry standard of 3-4-3. Still ANA is years ahead of QF
Qantas Platinum, Platinum One or Chairmans Lounge, in addition to Oneworld Emerald can use the excellent Qantas First Class lounge in Melbourne/Sydney and the JAL Domestic/International First Class lounges within Japan.
