The ticket buying experience was very easy. We went down and checked the station out the day before we were set to use the tickets. The rail system in Toyko is nuts! So many people around it is very diccicult to know where you are going. Once you confirm your ticket and select the time the lady looking aftre the queus points you in the direction of the station entry then you are on your own. There are two directions and the one on the right is the correct one to Narita Airport but you wouldn't know it. The signs are pretty useless. The train ride is very good.

The train was quick and comfortable. The only hiccup is picking up the tickets: there are two counters with long lines of tourists but only one allows pickup of etickets. But this fact is not clearly marked so it's possible to wait in line for nothing. Would be great to address which counter to go to, or improve the sinage at the airport, or allow etickets without pickup.

Convenient closeness from Taxi drop off was great. The QR code from online booking was not the ticket. Still need to go to ticket machine.

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.

These tickets are valid for 6 months from the date of purchase.
