You are in Shinjuku, Tokyo.
Are you planning to go Hokkaido from Tokyo by flight ?
Reason I ask is would like to know which airline that is the best to provide KL <-->New Chitose.
I search a few airlines but not too happy about the arrival time and transit duration.
ANA
- Arrive around 7pm in New Chitose airport !! 7pm is damn dark already in autumn/winter and there is still another 40min train journey to Sapporo station, and another 10-20 min taxi ride to the hotel in town.
- Upon touch down in Narita airport, have to go to Haneda airport before flying to New Chitose and I hate to carry luggage waiting/sitting in an airport coach.
Cathay Pacific
- Direct from HK to New Chitose but total flying time is more than 20 hours !!! Wtf
JAL
- Arrive in New Chitose around 1-2 pm which is good
- Transit from Kansai to New Chitose which is good also ( no need to change airport in Tokyo) but the transit waiting time in Kansai is freaking 6 hours !!! Total flying time is 15 hours.
p/s : Maybe will try the new Shinkansen from Tokyo to Hakodate in southern Hokkaido which is just started on 26 March 2016, and then take the local JR train to Sapporo. The total journey from KL-Tokyo and train to Sapporo is less than 20 hours..
