Airport Transfers in Tokyo

This is my first time visit Japan and I was thrilled to take this skyline train to Narita airport yesterday. The Uneo station location is very convenient. The only drawback was no elevator access from the ground entrance to the lower level ticketing and the gate.

Ticket booth easy to find. Plenty of room in front of seats for large travel suitcases plus overhead storage for carry on sized suitcases. Regular services. Train announcements on Japanese and English.

It was quite convenient to have these tickets. Claiming the Skyliner tickets were easy, both times -- at the airport and the Ueno (city) station to go back. The 72-Hour unlimited ticket though--OMG, what a long and tiring way to get/"claim" it at Shibuya station. Maybe if I'd gone to or come from a smaller station, it would've been easier. Then on the Skyliner, yes, it's nice, fast, good price (and even better when buying here on Headout, when it's discounted), but the interval time was quite long, so if your timing isn't good, you'll wait a really long time for your ride. Meanwhile, for the 72-Hour subway unlimited ride, it really is only worth it if you travel a lot. But if you are staying at a hotel that's centrally located and will stay in and walk around the area, then you can't use the ticket much, and it wasn't so worth the time claiming it, besides the cost. It's my own fault to not have done enough research or made decisions on what to do before I decided to buy. Otherwise, this purchase made traveling in Tokyo convenient (definitely having an unlimited card saves time vs. buying every journery--unless you have that Suica/IC Card, which it turned out I did from my 2014 trip which still worked) and helped saved some money.

The nighttime ride into Tokyo was amazing. The city lights, the 3 dimensionality of the highways and streets were very impressive.

It was very easy to change my booking at the Narita information desk to an earlier deprture. The entire experience, including the online booking, was seamless.
