*Fares vary depending on the season and seat type, so please treat these figures as a rough guide only.

Skymark and AIRDO are good options if you want to keep costs down. In particular, AIRDO puts a lot of effort into routes within Hokkaido, offering excellent connections from New Chitose Airport to other airports around the region.

Since there’s little difference among these four airlines in terms of checked baggage or in-flight service, it may be worth choosing based on mileage programs or aircraft preference.

Fares and flight time

A flight from Haneda Airport to New Chitose Airport costs roughly ¥8,000 to ¥25,000. During the New Year holidays, major holiday periods, or for same-day bookings, some flights can cost ¥30,000 or more. Prices vary depending on booking timing, congestion, and the airline, so it’s best to book early.

The flight time is 1 hour 30 to 45 minutes. This may vary slightly depending on weather and flight conditions.

How to buy cheap plane tickets from Haneda to New Chitose

Ticket prices can go up or down depending on when you buy. Here are three ways to buy cheap tickets from Haneda Airport to New Chitose Airport.

Use early-bird discounts

The most common method is to use the early-bird discounts offered by each airline.

With ANA and AIRDO, booking 75 days before departure gets you a lower price than usual. There are also other windows, such as 55 days and 21 days before departure, with earlier bookings generally earning bigger discounts.

With JAL and Skymark, discounts are applied to flights predicted to have higher seat availability at the time of booking, so timing your purchase right can get you a lower-than-usual fare.

When using early-bird discounts, keep in mind that cancellation and refund fees apply, so it’s best to book only once your schedule is confirmed. Also note that the mileage accrual rate is often lower than on regular fares.

Bundle your ticket with a hotel

If you’re planning to stay overnight at your destination, bundling your flight with a hotel can sometimes save you money. Check travel agency and airline websites for package tours that include accommodation.

Depending on the tour, you might get your hotel stay for almost nothing, or get an early-bird-level fare even without booking early — the benefits can be significant.

Use shareholder discount tickets

If you’re only buying a plane ticket, shareholder discount tickets are also worth considering. JAL, ANA, and AIRDO all offer discounts via shareholder tickets, and depending on the season, you can get tickets for half the regular price. Even if you don’t own stock, these tickets can be obtained through travel agencies, discount ticket shops, or the airline counters at the airport. Shareholder discount tickets have an expiration date, so if you’re planning to fly within that window, it’s worth checking them out.

Which terminal should I go to?

Haneda Airport has three terminals, and domestic flights depart from Terminal 1 and Terminal 2. Which terminal you need depends on the airline.

• Terminal 1: Japan Airlines, Skymark
• Terminal 2: All Nippon Airways, AIRDO

If taking the Keikyu Line, get off at “Haneda Airport Terminal 1 & 2” Station. For other means of transportation, use the drop-off/pick-up area for the relevant terminal.

Even if you end up at the wrong terminal, Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 are about a 5-minute walk apart. There’s also a free shuttle bus between terminals, so there’s no need to worry.

How many minutes before departure should I arrive at the airport?

Airlines ask that you clear security screening at least 20 minutes before departure. To do that, you’ll need to finish checking your baggage by 30 minutes before departure.

Since check-in and baggage drop can take longer during busy periods, it’s a good idea to arrive at the airport 60 minutes before departure to be safe.

Here’s a reference for deadlines:

Step	Deadline (counting back from departure)	Ideal schedule (counting back from departure)
Check-in	By 30 min before	By 60 min before

Answering your questions about traveling from New Chitose Airport to Sapporo Station!

Next, let’s look at common questions about traveling from New Chitose Airport to Sapporo Station after you arrive.

How do I get from New Chitose Airport to Sapporo Station?

Sapporo Station is about 50km from New Chitose Airport. The airport basement connects directly to JR New Chitose Airport Station, and you can travel by train, bus, taxi, or shared taxi.

Here’s a comparison table for traveling from New Chitose Airport Station to Sapporo Station.

Transportation	Approximate fare (per person)	Travel time	Features
Train (JR Rapid Airport)	¥1,150	37–40 min	Direct and quick; may be standing-room only during morning/evening rush

If speed is your priority, or if you’re heading to the Otaru area, the direct JR train is your best bet.

If you’re heading from Sapporo Station on to a hotel, the bus is also worth considering, even though it takes longer. That said, without a reservation you may end up waiting in a long line.

With NearMe’s fully reservation-based service, there’s no need to wait in line, and you get more privacy than on a bus.

How much time should I allow between landing and departing the airport?

It takes about 20 minutes from touchdown to reach the baggage claim area, plus about 10 minutes to collect your bags — around 30 minutes in total. After collecting your luggage, it takes another 5–10 minutes to reach the bus stop or JR ticket gates.

Given the possibility of flight delays and the time it takes to navigate an unfamiliar place, it’s safer to plan for a train or bus departing 60 minutes or more after your scheduled arrival time.
