Tokyo Flights
Unlike flying Domestic, flying International is a much more tedious process of security checks, customs, and waiting for your departure to be ready. Flying to Tokyo, Japan is like flying anywhere else: arrive to the airport a few hours in advance, ensure that your luggage meets all specifications, and prepare for any delays due to either American air traffic control or Japanese air traffic control.
Tokyo has two international airports:
•Haneda International Airport: This is the first of two international airports in
Tokyo. It used to be the only one; however, with the opening of their new airport,
it is not used as much. It’s primary purpose is for domestic flights; however, they
do have some airlines that fly to China and South Korea. It is the fourth largest
airport in terms of total passengers that pass through it, domestic and international.
•Narita International Airport: This is Tokyo’s much larger and more active of the two international airports. They have most of the world’s major airlines come into this airport. One can get to any of the other big airports in the world by traveling out of Narita. It has two large terminals that handle most of its international traffic.
Most flights coming to the United States and from the United States go to and from
Narita International Airport. The airlines that operate between Japan and the United
States are:
•American Airlines: They have flights from Tokyo to Chicago-
•All Nippon Airways: They have flights from Tokyo to Chicago-
•Continental Airlines: They have flights from Tokyo to Houston-
•Delta Airlines: They have flights from Tokyo to Atlanta, Detroit, Honolulu, Los
Angeles, Minneapolis/St. Paul, New York-
•Japan Airlines: They have flights from Tokyo to Chicago-
•United Airlines: They have flights from Tokyo to Chicago-
Because of this, there are a considerable number of opportunities for Americans
to travel to Japan from many different cities. On top of that, it’s because of all
these different airlines that travel from America to Tokyo that a consumer might
be able to find a competitive price and not pay an arm and a leg for a ticket.
