Mexico City is served primarily by Benito Juárez International (MEX), the country's largest international hub, and by the newer Felipe Ángeles International (NLU), which handles more domestic and low-cost traffic. MEX typically hosts full-service carriers and many international routes, while NLU is commonly used by budget airlines and some domestic services, which can mean different price profiles. Benito Juárez sits just east of downtown (about 12–15 km) with metro, suburban train, taxis and ride-hail options taking roughly 20–40 minutes and fares from low single digits to moderate amounts; Felipe Ángeles is farther northeast (about 45–55 km), often 50–90 minutes by road with varied transfer costs. Pros: MEX offers extensive connectivity and frequent transit links; NLU can be cheaper for point-to-point domestic trips. Cons: both can experience heavy traffic and busy terminals, and transfers between them may be time-consuming.

Tokyo is served primarily by two airports with distinct roles. Narita International (NRT) outside Chiba is typically the long‑haul international hub handling most intercontinental carriers and alliances; fares there can sometimes appear lower for long routes while transfers to central Tokyo take about 60–90 minutes by Narita Express or 60–80 minutes by airport limousine bus, with train fares roughly ¥3,000–¥4,000 and buses ¥1,000–¥3,200. Haneda Airport (HND) near the city is usually the more convenient gateway for domestic flights and growing international services, often seen as faster to reach—15–30 minutes by monorail or Keikyu Line and 20–40 minutes by limousine bus, fares commonly ¥300–¥1,000 for rail and higher for buses. Narita can be busier for budget and cargo carriers and may involve longer transfers; Haneda tends to offer greater convenience, shorter ground transfer times, and more frequent domestic connections, though ticket prices vary by carrier and season.
