Frankfurt Airport (FRA) is Germany’s primary international hub and a major transfer point for intercontinental travel, so it typically hosts full-service carriers (Lufthansa is dominant) alongside many long-haul and regional operators. Located about 12 km (roughly 20–30 minutes by car) southwest of the city centre, FRA is well connected by high-speed regional and long-distance trains from the Flughafen Fernbahnhof (15–20 minutes to Hauptbahnhof) and by frequent S-Bahn services (S8/S9, about 15–25 minutes); taxi or rideshare trips can take 20–35 minutes depending on traffic. Travelers can expect a wide range of fares and amenities—on the pricier side for convenience and airline choice, but with budget options as well—while pros include extensive connections, lounges and services; cons can be busy terminals and longer walks between gates.
Tokyo is served by two main airports with distinct roles. Narita (NRT), located about 60–70 km east of central Tokyo, typically functions as the primary international gateway for long-haul carriers and many full-service airlines; travel time to the city center is usually 60–90 minutes by the Narita Express or airport limousine bus, with fares often ranging from modest to mid-tier depending on service. Haneda (HND), much closer at roughly 15–20 km south of downtown, tends to handle more domestic flights and an increasing share of international routes, offering fast access by monorail or Keikyu train in about 15–30 minutes for comparatively low to moderate fares. Narita can be more budget-friendly on long-haul itineraries but is farther away, while Haneda is more convenient for short transit times and late-night connections. Pros: broad carrier choice and frequent services; Cons: distance trade-offs between comfort and convenience depending on airport.
