Tokyo is served primarily by two airports with distinct roles. Narita (NRT), about 60–70 km east of central Tokyo, typically functions as the international long‑haul hub handling most overseas carriers and full‑service airlines; travel to the city center by Narita Express or Skyliner takes roughly 60–90 minutes and can be relatively pricier compared with local trains (fares often fall in the mid‑range for airport transfers). Haneda (HND), much closer at 15–20 km south of downtown, usually hosts many domestic flights and an increasing number of international services, making it a convenient choice for shorter connections. Ground transport options include the Tokyo Monorail and Keikyu Line (15–30 minutes) and taxis or airport limousines (30–60 minutes, higher cost). Pros: Haneda’s proximity can mean faster city access and lower transfer costs; Narita tends to offer more international routings and sometimes lower fares on long‑haul carriers. Cons: Narita’s distance can add significant transfer time and expense, while Haneda can be busier and pricier for some international options.
Gimhae International Airport (PUS) is Busan’s main gateway, functioning as an international and domestic hub that handles a mix of full-service carriers and low-cost airlines. It typically serves flights to major Korean cities and regional destinations across East Asia, with budget carriers often offering competitive fares. The airport sits about 22 km west of Busan city center; travel times are usually 30–50 minutes by bus or taxi, and 40 minutes by the light rail/metro connection, with fares generally ranging from modest bus/metro fares to higher taxi costs. Pros: relatively compact layout and frequent connections; cons: can be busy during peak seasons and may require transfers for long-haul international travel.
