How to Prepare for Early Morning Flights from Haneda

In short

When taking an early morning flight, first check whether you have a way to reach the airport before the security check-in deadline. If the first train does not get you there in time, options include staying overnight (at hotels inside or around the airport) or spending the night at the airport.

Who this is for

• Those taking flights departing between 6:00 and 8:59

Your options

1. Take the first train or monorail: Check the schedule including transfers from your home.
2. Stay overnight: Cabin-type hotels in T1, hotels in Haneda Airport Garden, directly connected to T3, etc.
3. Stay at the airport: Spend the night at T3, which operates 24 hours (free but not very comfortable. Note that overnight stays are limited to international flight users and those planning to use them).
4. Late-night bus or taxi: Check routes and fixed fares in advance.

Estimated Time Required

For domestic flights, arriving 60–90 minutes before departure is generally recommended, while for international flights, arriving 2–3 hours prior is typical. Please check the airline's information for check-in and security deadlines.

Notes

• Whether the first train gets you there in time depends on your flight and the seasonal timetable. Do not assume; always check the timetable for that day.
• During busy periods, security checkpoints may be crowded and take longer than usual.
