Tokyo is served primarily by two airports with distinct roles. Narita International (NRT) is the main long-haul gateway and a hub for many international carriers; it tends to host full-service airlines and can be perceived as pricier for international fares. Located about 60 km east of central Tokyo, Narita is usually reached by airport express trains (60–90 minutes, roughly ¥2,500–¥3,300), highway buses (75–120 minutes, about ¥1,000–¥3,200) or taxis (longer and costly). It’s well-equipped and comfortable for connecting flights but can feel remote compared with city airports. Haneda (HND) functions more as Tokyo’s closer international and domestic hub, with a strong mix of full-service and low-cost carriers and generally quicker access to central Tokyo. Sitting approximately 14 km south of the city center, Haneda is typically 15–25 minutes away by monorail or train (¥300–¥700), 30–50 minutes by airport bus (¥1,000–¥1,500) and 20–40 minutes by taxi depending on traffic. Haneda’s convenience and shorter transfer times make it a practical choice for business travelers or short visits, while Narita can be preferable for a wider range of long-haul flight options.
Cape Town International Airport serves as South Africa’s main international gateway to the Western Cape and typically functions as a full-service hub handling both long-haul and regional flights. Major carriers and full-service South African airlines commonly operate alongside several international and low-cost operators, so fares can range from budget-friendly to premium depending on season and carrier. The airport lies about 20 km (roughly 30–45 minutes) from the city center; options into town include taxis or app-based rideshares (around 30–60 ZAR/km), MyCiTi express bus services (45–60 minutes, modest fares), and car hire. Pros include modern passenger facilities and frequent connections; cons can be peak-hour congestion and variability in transfer times.
