Zurich Airport (ZRH) is Switzerland’s primary international gateway and a well-established hub for full-service carriers as well as efficient connections across Europe. Swiss International Air Lines typically dominates long-haul and regional routes, while low-cost and leisure airlines also operate seasonal services. The airport sits about 10–13 km north of Zurich’s city center; the frequent S-Bahn trains take roughly 10–15 minutes and are often the quickest option, with single fares generally in the modest range for Swiss public transport. Taxis and ride-shares can be 20–30 minutes depending on traffic and cost more. Pros: modern terminals, smooth transfers and reliable public links. Cons: Swiss-level costs can feel premium for budget travelers.
Tokyo is served primarily by two airports with distinct roles. Narita International (NRT) is the main long-haul gateway, typically handling most international carriers and full-service airlines; it can be perceived as mid-range to premium in price for long-haul tickets. Located about 60 km east of central Tokyo, Narita is reachable by Narita Express (about 60–80 minutes, ¥3,000–¥4,500), Keisei Skyliner (40–50 minutes, ¥2,500–¥3,500) and highway buses (90–120 minutes depending on traffic, ¥1,000–¥3,000). Pros: more international connections and wider amenities; cons: longer transfer times to the city. Haneda (HND) acts as Tokyo’s closer international and domestic hub, favored by many business travelers for its proximity. Haneda is roughly 14 km south of central Tokyo and is typically better for quick city access; travel options include the Tokyo Monorail to Hamamatsucho (about 15–20 minutes, ¥500–¥700), Keikyu Line to Shinagawa (15–20 minutes, ¥300–¥600), and taxis (20–30 minutes, fares vary). It usually hosts both domestic low-cost and major full-service carriers and can be more convenient for short stays; downsides can be slightly higher ground transport fares by taxi and occasional congestion at peak times.
