Getting to BRU

The Airport Express train runs every 15–20 minutes from Brussels Central, Midi (South), and Nord stations to BRU in 17–25 minutes (€11.80 one-way, free with Brussels Card). Traffic on the Ring road (R0) is heavily congested during morning rush, making the train the consistent choice for peak departures.

Taxis from central Brussels cost €40–55 and take 25–40 minutes. Ride-shares (Uber) run €30–45. Parking at BRU starts at €10/day in the P-Long facility with free shuttle.

Getting from NRT

Keisei Skyliner (41 min to Ueno, ¥2,570) and Narita Express (N'EX, 60 min to Tokyo Station, ¥3,070) are the primary train options. Limousine buses serve major hotels throughout Tokyo, Yokohama, and even Osaka for ¥3,200–¥6,000. Terminals 1, 2, and 3 are connected by free shuttle bus; Terminal 3 (LCC) is a 15-minute walk or shuttle from Terminal 2.

Rental car desks are in the arrivals halls. Highway Bus (cheaper than limousine) is available to many cities. IC card (Suica/Pasmo) works on Keisei and JR lines from NRT at standard fares.

Narita Climate

Humid subtropical climate. Summers (June–September) are hot, very humid, and subject to the rainy season (tsuyu) in June–July, followed by typhoon season peaking in August–October. Typhoons can close Narita for 12–24 hours. The airport is particularly exposed on the Chiba plain. Temperatures reach 28–34°C.

Winters (December–February) are cool and dry at 3–10°C with clear skies. This is the most reliable flying season. Snow is infrequent but causes significant disruption when it occurs. The Kanto plain is ill-equipped for heavy snowfall. Spring (late March–April) is mild.
