Cheap Flights from Tokyo to Qingdao — $170

Tokyo is served primarily by two airports with distinct roles. Narita International (NRT), located about 60 km east of central Tokyo, functions as the main international hub handling many long-haul and full-service carriers; travel to the city center can take 60–90 minutes by express train or 60–120 minutes by highway bus, with fares that are typically mid-range for airport transfers. Haneda (HND), much closer at roughly 15 km south of downtown, has grown into a major international and domestic gateway favored by full-service and low-cost carriers for shorter connections; transit to central Tokyo is usually 15–30 minutes by monorail/train or 20–40 minutes by taxi, with generally lower transfer costs. Narita can be more economical for some budget itineraries but less convenient for quick city access, while Haneda is often praised for convenience and shorter commutes despite potentially higher landing fees reflected in some fares.

Fly direct from Tokyo to Qingdao for the fastest, most convenient way to connect Japan and China—less hassle, no layovers, and more time to enjoy your trip. While connecting flights can sometimes be cheaper, a nonstop route saves hours and delivers a more comfortable journey so you arrive refreshed and ready to explore Qingdao’s coast and culture.

Qingdao is served mainly by Qingdao Jiaodong International Airport (TAO), a modern international hub that replaced the older Liuting facility and typically handles most long-haul and domestic flights. Expect a mix of full-service carriers and several low-cost or regional operators, with fares that can be mid-range to budget-friendly depending on season and carrier. The airport lies about 35–40 km northeast of downtown Qingdao; travel by express bus or airport shuttle usually takes 40–60 minutes, while taxis and ride-hailing apps can be 35–50 minutes depending on traffic, often costing a moderate fare. Pros: newer facilities and good international connectivity; cons: distance from the city center and variable transfer times during peak hours.

In different months, ticket prices from Tokyo to Qingdao vary: minimum — $130 (January 2026), maximum — $202 (February 2026). Typically, the flight costs $158–$160.
