Flights from San Francisco to Narita: the best tips from KAYAK users' own experiences

Insights shared by verified travelers who flew the route from San Francisco to Narita 
MitchellFlew with United Airlines-Sep 2026
Immigration and customs upon arrival at NRT airport Tokyo took 1.5 hours - so drink water or bring a bottle for the humid long lines. Once through that, went very smooth. Took an Uber to downtown Tokyo hotel - since it was commute times, took 1.5 hours; but overall was a good experience at the end of a long travel day.
BeldanFlew with Japan Airlines-Mar 2026
make sure to file any medication permission for things like ADHD meds or opiates for pain management early, so you don't need to rush.
BryanFlew with ANA-Feb 2026
Check your operating carrier. It seems like ANA is operated by United, so you would essentially be paying for United Airlines service (supposedly 3 stars) as opposed to the 5 star ANA service.
TFlew with ZIPAIR-Nov 2024
Haneda is closer to the city center, so fly there if you can. Zipair has by far the best rates, but try to book early and pick a seat so you’re not stuck in a middle seat.
