Taxis to central Tokyo run ¥3,500–5,500. Haneda's proximity to Tokyo means ground transport is faster and cheaper than from Narita in virtually all cases.

ANA and JAL operate widebody and narrowbody equipment depending on time of day, with morning and evening peak slots drawing larger aircraft. Skymark competes on price using 737s.

Kagoshima sits at the southern tip of Kyushu with Sakurajima volcano visible from the airport on clear days.
