FAQs for booking flights from London to Osaka

  • How can I get from Osaka airports to the centre of the city?

    From Kobe Airport, you can get the Portliner local train to Sannomiya station, where you can change for your onward journey to Osaka. From Itami Airport, you can get the monorail to Senri-Chuo, where you can continue your journey using the Kita-Osaka Kyuko Railway. If you’re leaving from Kansai Airport, you can catch the Haruka Express, which stops in the centre of the city and is a very convenient way to complete your journey.

  • Are there direct flights that connect me from London airports to Osaka airports?

    Unfortunately, there are no direct flights that you can catch between London airports and airports in Osaka. However, that doesn’t mean there aren’t great options available for you that require one or more changes.

  • Can I fast track through security?
