Hello, apologies if it this morning the thread for my question.

I'll be arriving in NRT (on IB/MAD) scheduled at 0955, on time performance is good due to IB schedule padding, and I'm trying to get to FUK.

From NRT I have these options. The 1320 I should have just enough time to collect and recheck bags and even buy a soraben?


Using train, assuming a 12H start at Tokyo station, can get to Hakata station by 17H, 23K yen, so more expensive and arrives later than the flying, although the flight price excludes checked bags but the ekibens at Tokyo stn are better than the soraben at NRT? Train also more flexible.

From HND....can make the 15:55, arriving just after the train, but still in time for dinner. Most expensive option but can get a free drink at the domestic sakura lounge...


Is taking the train my best option?

Thank you!
