My travel to Tokyo (1/5) – Fly to Tokyo

First, we bought airline tickets to fly to Tokyo. Baldboy visited Tokyo 2 years ago and tell us that British Airways was the best option. Althought, to this travel we search in other airlines, British was the cheapest. The return ticket only cost we 605€.

We flew from Madrid (Spain) but if you fly from city in other country it’s possible you find a cheaper ticket in another airline. You can use skyscanner.com to search flights and compare prices in a lot of airlines.

Our travel was Madrid – London – Tokyo. In Madrid we got the tickets to the 2 flights so when we arrived to London the only thing that we had to do was go to the next flight. We didn’t have to worry about the baggage.

Baldboy told to us that in his last travel to Tokyo there’s no time to put the baggage in the same flight so the baggage travelled in the next flight. When they arrived to Tokyo and they realized about it, were noticed by airport staff that their baggage would be sent to the hostel directly.

Madrid – London

From Madrid (Barajas) to London (Heathrow) the flight’s duration was 2 hours and 40 minutes. There, we had time only to lunch because we had to do a terminal change.

London – Narita

The duration of the flight from London to the International Narita’s Airport, the airport used to the international flights to go to Tokyo, was about 10 hours.

On every British Airways‘s flights (World Traveller Class) you have complimentary food and free bar service. They also provide you with blankets, cushions, eyeshades and flight socks to make your journey a more comfortable one. Moreover, seats have a personal screen with the latest films, tv shows, music and radio when you want to.

The distance in kilometers between Narita and Tokyo is 70 km. We used the train to go to Tokyo. In other post “Transportation in Tokyo” I’ll tell about the best way to go to the airport because there’s a lot of to do it.
