Upgrade Your Narita Airport Experience

Navigating a long layover at Narita International Airport (NRT) doesn't have to mean uncomfortable seats and expensive vending machine coffee. Whether you have two hours or ten, you can upgrade your transit time with access to premium lounges, refreshing shower facilities, or even a guided exploration of Narita's historic temple district. While standard airline lounges like the JAL Sakura Lounge or ANA Suite Lounge are reserved for elite status passengers, several 'pay-per-use' options like the IASS Executive Lounge and Narita TraveLounge are open to all travelers for a fee. For those seeking more than just a seat, our curated selection of private layover tours and VIP transfers offers a superior alternative to sitting in a terminal, allowing you to experience authentic Japanese culture and cuisine before your next flight.

Saved my layover!

The Food & Bar Hopping tour was exactly what we needed. Instead of sitting in a crowded lounge for 5 hours, we ate amazing eel rice and saw the temple. The guide got us back with plenty of time.

Skyliner is a must

Don't bother with the bus. The Keisei Skyliner ticket booked here was instant and got us to Tokyo in 45 mins. Super smooth and clean.

Perfect private transfer

We had a lot of luggage and the private van transfer was a lifesaver. The driver met us with a sign and the van was immaculate. Better than dragging bags on the train.

Good WiFi pickup

Grabbed the WiFi router at the counter in Terminal 1. Easy pickup, worked perfectly for my 10-hour layover. Essential if you leave the airport.

Great alternative to lounges

The lounges were full, so we booked the private car for a quick city tour. Best decision. The driver was professional and the car was very comfortable.
