Cheap Flights from Abu Dhabi to Osaka Starting at $306

Abu Dhabi International Airport (AUH) serves as the UAE capital’s main international gateway and typically functions as a full-service hub with a mix of national carrier and long-haul airlines alongside some regional services. Located about 30–40 km east of downtown Abu Dhabi, transfer by taxi usually takes 25–45 minutes depending on traffic and can be moderately priced compared with Dubai; shuttle buses and private transfers are also common and can take 45–60 minutes from central districts. The airport is generally regarded as modern and comfortable, with extensive lounges and shopping, though it can be a longer commute for some neighborhoods and fewer ultra-budget flight options than nearby secondary airports. Public bus routes provide a lower-cost option, while car hire gives flexibility for onward travel.

Osaka is served mainly by two airports with distinct roles. Kansai International (KIX) is the international hub located on an artificial island about 50–60 minutes from central Osaka by express train, with fares typically in the ¥1,200–¥2,800 range depending on service; it usually handles most long-haul and full-service carriers as well as many international low-cost flights. Osaka Itami (ITM) sits much closer to the city—around 20–30 minutes by bus or monorail—and operates primarily domestic and regional routes, often favored by business travelers for its convenience. Ground transport options include airport limousine buses, JR/privately operated trains and taxis; travel times and fares vary by time of day. KIX can be more comfortable for international connections and has more amenities, while Itami is usually quicker to reach but offers fewer international services.
