Tokyo is served mainly by two airports with distinct roles. Narita International (NRT) is Tokyo’s primary long-haul gateway and a major international hub, usually hosting full-service carriers and many intercontinental flights; it’s generally perceived as mid-to-high in price for transfers and onward services. Narita sits about 60–70 km east of central Tokyo; travel options include the Narita Express (approx. 55–65 minutes), airport limousine buses (60–90 minutes depending on traffic), and cheaper access via JR or Keisei lines (from ~60 minutes), with fares typically ranging from economical commuter tickets to premium express fares. Pros: abundant international connections and extensive terminal facilities; cons: longer transfers to the city and potential extra time for customs and luggage. Haneda Airport (HND) functions primarily as Tokyo’s domestic hub but has expanded international service and often feels more convenient for city access. It typically hosts a mix of domestic carriers and international airlines on short- and medium-haul routes, and fares for city transfers are usually viewed as economical to moderate. Haneda lies about 14–20 km south of central Tokyo; common transport includes the Tokyo Monorail (12–20 minutes to Hamamatsucho), Keikyu line (15–25 minutes to Shinagawa), and airport limousine buses (20–40 minutes), with fares typically low to moderate. Pros: shorter city transfers, multiple terminals linked by reliable rail; cons: fewer long-haul options than Narita for some routes and occasionally busier security queues during peak domestic travel.

Fly direct from Tokyo to Ulaanbaatar for the fastest, most convenient way to link Japan’s bustling capital with Mongolia’s adventurous gateway—less hassle, no layovers, and more time to enjoy your trip. While connecting flights can sometimes be cheaper, a nonstop saves hours and offers a more relaxed journey, so book a direct option if you value comfort and efficiency.

The cost of a one-way flight from Tokyo to Ulaanbaatar ranges from $166 (April 2026) to $262 (May 2026). On average, the ticket price is about $201–$211.

Ulaanbaatar is served mainly by Chinggis Khaan International Airport (ULN), the country’s primary international gateway and hub for full-service carriers and national airline connections. The airport replaced the older domestic facility and typically handles both long-haul and regional flights, while some smaller airstrips around Mongolia are used for domestic services. ULN lies about 35–50 km south of downtown Ulaanbaatar; road transfer is the main option, with airport shuttles, taxis and private transfers taking roughly 40–60 minutes depending on traffic and weather—fares can vary from modest shuttle rates to higher taxi prices. Domestic onward flights usually operate from other smaller airfields or via the same terminal. Pros: modern facilities and international connections; cons: distance to the city and occasional weather-related delays during winter months.
