Sapporo is served by two airports with distinct roles. New Chitose Airport (CTS) is the region’s main international and domestic hub, handling most scheduled services — including full-service carriers and low-cost airlines — and is about 45–50 km southeast of central Sapporo (approximately 35–45 minutes by express train). Regular JR rapid and airport express trains typically run to Sapporo Station; fares can be moderate compared with flights’ price range. Buses and taxis are available, with coach rides taking roughly 60–90 minutes depending on traffic. Pros: reliable connections, good facilities and dining; cons: longer transfer times if you’re staying downtown. For budget or regional travel, Okadama Airport (OKD) functions mainly for domestic and commuter flights, lying much closer to the city (around 10–15 minutes by taxi or 20–30 minutes by local bus to central wards). It’s typically used by smaller airlines and is convenient for short-haul hops, though services and ground transport options are more limited and fares can be variable. Overall, choose New Chitose for international links and broader airline choice, and Okadama for quick domestic access to the city.

Almaty’s main gateway, Almaty International Airport (ALA), serves as Kazakhstan’s largest international hub, handling most long-haul and regional connections and typically hosting full-service carriers alongside some low-cost operators. The airport sits roughly 15–20 km southeast of the city center; taxis and ride-hailing services commonly take about 20–35 minutes depending on traffic, while airport buses and shared shuttles can be slower but cheaper, often costing the equivalent of a few dollars. Pros include a modern terminal with decent amenities and frequent international flights; potential downsides are variable peak-hour congestion and occasional longer transfer times. Domestic and regional flights may also operate from nearby secondary terminals within the same complex.

Fly direct from Almaty to Sapporo for the fastest, most convenient way to reach Hokkaido’s snowy peaks and vibrant food scene — no layovers, less hassle, more time to enjoy your trip. While connecting routes can sometimes be cheaper, a nonstop flight saves hours and delivers a more comfortable door-to-door experience, making it worth considering when you want to travel efficiently.
