Tokyo is served primarily by two airports with distinct roles. Narita (NRT), about 60–70 km east of central Tokyo, is typically the international long-haul gateway used by full-service carriers and many low-cost international services; travel to central Tokyo usually takes 55–80 minutes by Narita Express or about 60–90 minutes by airport limousine bus, with fares commonly in the mid-range for rail and slightly higher for express services. Haneda (HND), much closer at roughly 15–20 km south of the center, functions as a major domestic hub that has grown into a busy international gateway favored for short-haul and business flights; train rides to central Tokyo can be as quick as 15–30 minutes via Keikyu or monorail plus JR connections, with relatively low fares. Pros: Haneda is often more convenient for city access and quick transfers, while Narita can offer a wider selection of long-haul carriers and sometimes lower fares on international routes. Cons: Narita’s distance can add time and cost for transfers, and peak-hour trains or buses can be crowded; both airports can require time for security and immigration depending on flight schedules.

Guangzhou is mainly served by Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport (CAN), a major international hub handling both full-service and low-cost carriers, and a smaller general aviation presence at Foshan Shadi (FSZ) and other nearby fields for charters. CAN sits about 28–35 km north of downtown Guangzhou; the metro airport line typically takes 35–45 minutes to reach the city center, while express buses and taxis can range from 40 minutes to over an hour depending on traffic, with fares varying by mode. Baiyun often positions itself as a full-service gateway for domestic and long-haul routes, though it also hosts budget airlines. Pros: extensive connectivity, modern terminals and plentiful services. Cons: it can be busy and transfer times may be longer during peak periods, and ground travel times depend on congestion.
