Flights to Osaka

Flying to Osaka brings you into Kansai International Airport (KIX) about twenty miles southwest of Osaka city. Regular direct flights connect Kansai International Airport with more than 60 destinations worldwide. If you’re taking a domestic flight to Osaka from other cities around Japan, there are routes into Kansai International Airport or Itami Airport, a little confusingly sometimes known as Osaka International Airport, which is located about ten miles to the north of the city.

You can fly to Kansai International Airport all year round from major UK airports, with a stop at one of a handful of cities including Paris, Amsterdam, Helsinki, Frankfurt or Istanbul. Alternatively, you may find that booking a flight to Tokyo or Hong Kong and then catching a connecting flight to Osaka could be a good option. If you choose to fly into Tokyo, you could make the connection to Osaka by train instead of plane. The high-speed Shinkansen – or bullet train as it is sometimes known – takes 2.5 hours to get from Tokyo to Shin-Osaka station in the north of Osaka city.

Transport to and from Your Osaka Flight

Public transport is a convenient and affordable choice for travelling into Osaka from both nearby airports. At Kansai International Airport, the railway station connects directly to the second floor of Terminal 1, while buses depart from the first floor. There’s a wide variety of transport options to suit different budgets, with prices scaling up for faster journey times and reserved tickets. The quickest trains can get you to Namba station in just over half an hour. Airport Limousine Buses can take you directly to Namba in 45 minutes and Osaka station in 60 minutes. If you choose to rent a car, Osaka is about 50 minutes’ drive from the airport.

Itami Airport is about 30 minutes by train from Umeda station, which is one of the city centre’s main hubs and a gateway to Osaka’s subway system. From Osaka Airport station, take the monorail one stop to Hotarugaike station, then it’s about 20 minutes south on the mainline Hankyu Takarazuka line to Umeda. You can also catch the bus from Itami Airport to major destinations around the city including Osaka/Umeda station, Shin-Osaka station and Namba station. The bus takes about 25 minutes in each case.

Why Fly to Osaka?

Osaka is a large laid-back city full of opportunities for shopping, sightseeing, eating out and having fun.

It’s home to one of Japan’s top tourist attractions – Universal Studios Japan – where you can step into the magical world of the movies. You can also experience traditional Japanese culture at the city’s theatres or on a visit to a tranquil temple or shrine.

How to survive the flight to Osaka?
If you’re not prepared, travelling can be daunting. But there’s no need to worry. Follow these handy tips for a worry-free start to your getaway in Osaka.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Travelling on a plane can be a great experience if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you’ll want a few basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good novel. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Lastly, don’t forget to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, won’t be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of a plane are not the place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and bring a sweater as it tends to get cool in the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a sensible choice.
  • Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance travel is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another great idea to help reduce this risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Osaka?
The secret is to be prepared before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you’ll be hopping onto that plane to Osaka in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a flying start:

  • Your passport and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security. Have them easily accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
  • After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
  • All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned.
  • Remove all gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • There’s a chance you’ll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
  • Sharp items such as knives and scissors can’t be taken on board. They’ll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
