Insights shared by verified travelers who flew the route from George Bush Intcntl to Narita 
BillFlew with United AirlinesOct 2026
It’s a long flight - I’d go to sleep immediately and forget dinner. When you take off it’s midnight in Tokyo - so get on their time zone
CecilFlew with ANADec 2025
We have been flying in and out of Haneda the last few trips. We decided to go to Narita this time. I'm glad we did. It was less crowded and relatively easy to navigate for us. We were able to catch a bus to the North to Tochigi prefecture without much trouble. If you are coming from another country, You must fill out the immigration forms beforehand. There is a table set aside for that. Immigrations goes quick. They do facial recognition and finger prints and stamp your passport. Then you get your bags. Fairly seamless.
DavidFlew with United AirlinesDec 2024
Do not take an aisle seat on Boeing aircraft. The carts are to wide for the aisles and so are many of the crew. You will be bumped by one or the other throughout the flight. Poorly designed aircraft.
