Tokyo is served primarily by two airports with different roles. Narita (NRT), about 60–65 km east of central Tokyo, is Japan’s main international gateway and typically handles most long-haul and full-service carrier flights; it can be perceived as mid-range to premium for international travel. Access is usually by Narita Express (about 55–65 minutes to Tokyo Station, higher fares), Skyliner (41 minutes to Ueno, mid-to-high fares) or airport limousine buses (60–120 minutes depending on traffic, variable fares), plus taxis. Pros: more international connections and amenities; cons: longer transit times to the city and potential traffic delays. Haneda (HND), located roughly 14 km south of central Tokyo, acts as a major domestic hub that increasingly hosts international routes and is often seen as more convenient and cost-effective for central Tokyo access. It’s commonly served by full-service and low-cost carriers alike. Transport options include the Tokyo Monorail (13–20 minutes to Hamamatsucho, moderate fares), Keikyu Line (15–20 minutes to Shinagawa, moderate fares), airport limousine buses (20–40 minutes, variable fares) and quick taxi rides. Pros: proximity, shorter transfers and frequent services; cons: can be busier and slightly pricier for some domestic connections.

Tribhuvan International Airport (KTM) is Kathmandu’s main international gateway and the country’s busiest airport, serving a mix of full-service carriers, regional airlines and many trekking-charter operators. It’s located roughly 6–7 km east of Thamel/central Kathmandu, so transfer times to the city center can be as short as 20–40 minutes by taxi depending on traffic; shared jeeps or airport shuttles may be slightly cheaper. Fares are typically modest compared with long-haul hubs but can feel higher for domestic mountain flights. Pros: very convenient for central hotels and onward connections within Nepal; cons: facilities can be basic, security and congestion may cause delays, and service levels are variable compared with larger international hubs.
