Cape Town International Airport is the main international gateway to the Western Cape and typically acts as a full-service hub for South African Airways, as well as a focus city for several low-cost carriers like Mango and Kulula. Passenger traffic often reflects a mix of long-haul international and regional/domestic flights, with fares that can be competitive but vary by season. The airport sits about 20–25 km (roughly 20–40 minutes) from the city centre; transport options include metered taxis and ride-hailing (fares vary), the MyCiTi bus rapid transit (about 30–40 minutes at modest cost), and rental cars. Pros: modern facilities and frequent connections; cons: peak-period congestion and transfer times to central Cape Town can be significant.

Tokyo is served primarily by two airports with distinct roles. Narita (NRT), located about 60 km east of central Tokyo, is typically the international gateway for long-haul flights and full-service carriers; travel to central Tokyo usually takes 60–90 minutes by Narita Express or 80–120 minutes by express or local trains, with fares generally in the moderate-to-high range. Haneda (HND), much closer at roughly 15 km south of downtown, often handles domestic traffic and an increasing share of international flights, with airport limousine buses or the Tokyo Monorail/Keihin-Tohoku Line taking about 20–40 minutes and costing less. Narita can be pricier to reach but offers extensive international connections and duty-free options; Haneda is more convenient for short transfers and late arrivals, though it can be busier during peak domestic periods. Both airports provide taxis and ride-hailing services, with taxi fares rising substantially with distance and time of day.
