Flights to Japan

Usually flights to Tokyo Haneda are slightly more expensive than those to Narita. The reason is simply: from Haneda to Tokyo you can travel in less than 30 minutes, while it takes you at least 1 hour, in most of the cases, to reach Tokyo from Narita Airport. Also, from and to Haneda there are overnight flights, usually departing Europe in the night, and arriving to Tokyo in the night, or evening.

Despite recently most of the premium destinations have been took from Narita to Haneda, this airport is still the main International one. Unfortunately it is quite far away from central Toyko (about 70 km), but offers you more options, especially if looking for a direct flight.

Until 2014 there were good choices to fly directly to or from Osaka, but unfortunately due to marketing issues, now Kansai Airport offers less options for those coming from Europe.

These airlines need you to make a transit, usually in the Middle East, thus with longer flights (about 20, to 25 hours) than with the direct flights (from 9 to 13 hours), but usually are cheaper, and some of them, like Emirates, Etihad and Qatar Airways are 5 stars rated!
