Tokyo is served mainly by two airports with distinct roles. Narita International (NRT), located about 60 km east of central Tokyo, typically functions as the primary long-haul international hub handling most intercontinental carriers and full-service airlines; travel to the city center usually takes 60–90 minutes by Narita Express or 60–80 minutes by limousine bus, with fares commonly in the mid-range for airport services. Haneda (HND), much closer at roughly 15 km south of downtown, is often the preferred gateway for domestic flights and growing international services—ride times to central Tokyo are typically 15–30 minutes by train or 20–40 minutes by taxi, with relatively lower fares for short transfers. Both airports are well connected by frequent rail, airport limousine buses, and taxis; Narita can be more time-consuming and feel less convenient for short trips, while Haneda is usually quicker and more convenient but can be busier during peak hours.
Zurich Airport (ZRH) serves as Switzerland’s primary international gateway and a well-connected hub for Swiss and many full-service European carriers, with a growing number of low-cost options on select routes. Located about 10 km (roughly 20–30 minutes) north of the city center, it’s easily reached by frequent trains (13–15 minutes, moderate fares), regional buses and taxis or ride-shares (20–30 minutes, higher cost). Facilities are generally modern and efficient, offering lounges and shopping but can be busy during peak times. Pros: fast rail link and comprehensive services; cons: can feel premium-priced for food and transfers compared with smaller regional airports.
