Norman Y. Mineta San Jose International (SJC) functions as the primary commercial airport for Silicon Valley, typically serving a mix of domestic and select international flights and acting as a hub for several major carriers and low-cost airlines. Airfares from SJC can be mid-to-premium relative to nearby options, especially on business-heavy routes. The airport sits about 3–4 miles north of downtown San Jose; a taxi or rideshare usually takes 10–15 minutes, often costing in the $15–30 range, while VTA light rail and bus links can take 20–40 minutes for a lower fare. Travelers will find modern terminals with streamlined security and decent dining options, though peak hours can be busy and parking rates are often above budget-city alternatives.
Tokyo is served by two main airports with distinct roles. Narita (NRT) is the international gateway located about 60 km east of central Tokyo and typically handles long-haul and many international carriers, while Haneda (HND), much closer at roughly 15 km south of the city center, functions as a large international hub that also dominates domestic traffic. Narita can be perceived as slightly cheaper for some low-cost and long-haul options, whereas Haneda often hosts premium and business-oriented flights due to its proximity. Transport to central Tokyo from Haneda includes the Keikyu Line or Tokyo Monorail plus JR or subway connections (around 20–40 minutes; fares roughly ¥300–¥700), and from Narita you can take the Narita Express, Keisei Skyliner, long-distance buses, or highway taxis (journeys usually 55–90 minutes; fares commonly ¥1,000–¥3,000 depending on mode). Pros: Haneda offers superior convenience and shorter transfers; Narita typically provides a wider selection of international carriers and sometimes lower-cost options. Cons: Narita’s greater distance can mean longer transfers and extra expense for rapid services, while Haneda can be busier and pricier for some international itineraries.
