Flying from Tokyo
With a reputation for punctuality, efficiency and cleanliness, Tokyo’s Haneda Airport (also known as Tokyo International Airport) is one of the country’s main air transport hubs and connects to destinations across the globe.
This is an exceptionally busy airport, handling over 72 million passengers a year, making it the fourth-busiest airport for passenger numbers in the world. However, passengers flying from Tokyo with Qatar Airways will find this to be a very personalised airport, where staff are quick to help and the emphasis is on an excellent passenger experience from the moment you step through the doors.
Transportation and parking
Tokyo’s public transport system is legendary, and the same is true of its connections to the airport. Direct trains run between Haneda and Narita Airport (Tokyo’s other major airport), and the airport is also served directly by Tokyo’s Monorail service, which has a dedicated station at each terminal.
The Keikyu train network also connects to Tokyo and other cities across Japan to the airport. Bus routes are just as plentiful, including the Haneda Airport Express bus.
Taxis operate on a set fare basis and the journey time by taxi from the centre of Tokyo to the airport is approximately 25-40 minutes, depending on traffic conditions.
Both short and long-term parking is available at each terminal, with shuttle buses running between the parking areas and the terminals.
There are approximately 3,000 spaces at the International terminal, but these fill up quickly. Pre-booking is advised.
Arriving in Tokyo
Passengers flying from Tokyo with Qatar Airways depart from the International Terminal. The check-in and security process is efficient, so it is sufficient to arrive approximately one hour before your flight is due to leave.
A number of public lounges are located in the International Departures Area 4F, and a private VIP lounge is also available.
Facilities and amenities
Facilities are excellent at the airport, and it even has its own shopping ‘street’ where you’ll find a wide selection of luxury goods, accessories and electronics in particular. You’ll also be able to access the Duty Free shopping area once you have passed through security checks.

A fascinating blend of traditional Southern charm and 21st century modernism, Atlanta is one of America’s key cities and is home to the world’s busiest airport. The city has been rebuilt more than once, and with a central place at the very heart of America’s history, it’s a fascinating and complex juxtaposition of old and new.

You’ll also find a surprising number of Hollywood blockbusters being filmed in Atlanta, and the burgeoning film industry is a new and exciting commercial development in a city that’s continually reinventing itself. Travel outside the city limits and you’ll find yourself surrounded by rolling hills, lush, green farming belts, and the imposing granite Stone Mountain to the east.
Tourist attractions
Atlanta is hugely important historically, so there are plenty of museums to explore to find out more about the city’s role in the founding of modern America. The National Center for Civil and Human Rights charts Atlanta’s pivotal role in the development of the civil rights movement. If you are more interested in the history of the Civil War, then the Atlanta History Center in Buckhead offers a fascinating insight into the conflict that tore America in two.
Art is important to Atlanta’s identity, and some of the best examples can be seen in the Museum of Contemporary Art of Georgia, and the Atlanta Contemporary Art Center, where you can see exhibitions of up and coming artists.
