Christchurch Airport (CHC) is New Zealand’s South Island gateway, operating as the region’s primary international and domestic hub rather than a low-cost outpost. It typically handles major carriers such as Air New Zealand and international airlines on trans-Tasman and occasional long-haul routes, alongside some budget operators on domestic sectors. The airport lies about 12 km north of the city centre; transfers by shuttle or taxi usually take 20–30 minutes, while public buses can take 30–45 minutes with modest fares and airport shuttle services offering mid-range prices. Pros include a compact layout and generally straightforward connections; cons can be variable traffic at peak times and fewer late-night services compared with larger global hubs.
Tokyo is served mainly by two airports with different roles. Narita (NRT), located about 60–70 km east of central Tokyo, typically functions as the international gateway handling most long-haul and full-service carriers; travel time to central areas is usually 60–90 minutes by Narita Express or 60–75 minutes by airport limousine bus, with fares commonly in the mid-range for rail and variable bus fares. Haneda (HND), much closer at roughly 15–20 km south of downtown, often acts as a convenient international and domestic hub favored by full-service and many low-cost carriers for shorter flights; transit to Tokyo Station or Shinagawa can be 15–30 minutes by train, with lower rail fares. Pros: Haneda offers greater convenience and shorter transfer times, while Narita can provide more international route choices and sometimes cheaper long-haul fares; cons: Narita’s distance can add time and cost, and both airports can be busy during peak periods.
