Rare mj_holiday Posted March 19 #1 Share Posted March 19 For those of you who have flown into Narito, could you give me an estimate as to how far is it to luggage and customs/immigration. I am trying to decide if I need to reserve a wheelchair for this walk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tubeamps Posted March 19 #3 Share Posted March 19 It was also about an 1 hour 20 minutes ride to get to our Regent provided hotel in the Shinjuku district. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a good point. Haneda airport (HND) is much more convenient to central Tokyo; it's a half hour versus a 60- 90-minute bus ride. Traffic on either route could be nasty.

Pies4u Posted March 19 #5 Share Posted March 19 Only flown out of Narita - as indicated, that is at least an 80 minute journey to central Tokyo. It is always a risk at airports, depends where the plane docks in relation to baggage & customs etc. Unlikely to be a short distance in my view, the chair would be a sensible move for my money.

Reserve a wheelchair as it is a long walk then the lines through immigration are long and slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mj_holiday Posted March 21 Author #8 Share Posted March 21 Thanks for your responses. Looking at the airport web for reserving a wheel chair, they also mentioned carts that you get at central locations. My husband can walk, just not very far. Does anyone know about getting a cart? How close are they to the gates? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nachosdelux Posted March 21 #9 Share Posted March 21 I would recommend a wheelchair over a cart. The cart cannot meet you at the aircraft (a wheelchair can). Some of the jetways are long. Keep it simple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miklinga Posted March 22 #11 Share Posted March 22 I've not needed assistance (yet), but your airline could probably arrange chair or cart easier than you trying to do it through the airport. Just a thought. Safe travels! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a place on the airline web where you manage your air tickets to request a wheelchair. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
