Minasan, need some help/advice:

Will be going to Tokyo on May 18, flying via AirAsia and touching down at Haneda airport at 11pm. Will need to catch a train from Haneda to Asakusa station. Most trains from airport will stop operating after midnight. Realistically, immigration and going down the flight will take some time…Btw my friends and I are traveling light (small cabin size luggage or backpacks). Oh yeah, we need to buy SUICA/Pasmo card also...aih!

Anyone here who's been flying via AA and still manage to get trains last minute, say around 11.30?


Here are the three options that I have;

PLAN A: Train at 11.30 PM
Take the train of 23:30 Keikyu-line.
And transfer at Keikyu-Kamata station and Sengakuji station.

PLAN B: Train at 11.40 PM
23:40 Haneda airport international terminal
↓ Keikyu-line To Shinagawa
23:47 Tenku bashi station
0:03
↓ Tokyo monorail
0:07 Hamamatsucho station
0:15
↓ JR Yamanote-line
0:19 Kanda station
↓ Metro Ginza-line
0:29 Asakusa

Downside of Plan B:
Kanda station doesn't have an elevator and escalator.

PLAN C: Train at 12.02
0:02 Haneda airport international terminal
↓Keikyu-line
0:17 Shinagawa station
0:26
↓ JR Yamanote-line
0:46 Ueno station

What do you guys think? doh.gif thumbup.gif

I wouldn't gamble as AA is known for its delays. So i stayed at Toyoko Inn Haneda that provides free shuttle from airport

Wow, the per night rate is almost triple the price where I'm staying. doh.gif
Thanks for the suggestion though.

Do you remember how long was your delay from your last experience?

This is my 4th time to Tokyo, but first time on AA btw.

Yah, one night cost >RM200 there. So far no delay in arrival. But kena delayed 3 hours once when flying back to KL

hmm.gif Good to know. Hope they will be on time when I arrive in Haneda *touch wood*.

Anyone else had experience with AA arriving late/on-time in Haneda? Would like to know if the process of purchasing SUICA/PASMO will be a quick-one or have to fill form or such?

Wanna do amazing-race marathon from plane to train in record time. 11pm arrive, turun kapal, beli SUICA and run to Keikyu line by 11.30pm.
