Online Reviews Summary
Naha Airport (ROAH/OKA) receives mixed reviews from recent travelers, with a clear distinction in satisfaction levels between its domestic and international terminals. While many appreciate the ongoing renovations and the efficiency of the domestic side, international travelers frequently report frustrations with slower processes and limited amenities beyond security. The airport is generally seen as clean and staff are polite, but bottlenecks at international check-in and security are common concerns.
What Travelers Love
- Renovated and Spacious Domestic Terminal: The domestic terminal has undergone significant improvements, offering a more spacious and less cramped experience with clear signage.
- Cleanliness and Polite Staff: The airport is consistently praised for its cleanliness and the politeness of its staff.
- Efficient Domestic Processes: Arrivals and luggage collection for domestic flights are generally reported to be easy and quick.
- Good Transportation Connections: The Naha Monorail provides direct access to the main airport terminal, and private car/taxi services are highly rated for punctuality and comfort.
- Variety of Food Options (Landside): There's an improved selection of food offerings, particularly before international immigration, including both Japanese and Western-style restaurants.
- Mobile Charging Points and Wi-Fi: Power outlets and USB charging ports are available in lounges, and Wi-Fi is free in departure areas.
Common Complaints
- Slow International Service: Travelers frequently experience slow service at international check-in counters, passport control, and security, leading to wait times of over an hour.
- Limited International Terminal Facilities (Post-Immigration): After passing international immigration, food and shopping choices become very limited.
- Restricted International Departure Access: Access to international departure counters and gates is often granted only a short time before the flight, leading to crowded conditions and long lines.
- Early Morning International Terminal Opening Hours: The international terminal reportedly opens late (7 AM), posing challenges for passengers on early international flights with no services available outside.
- Expensive Airport Parking: On-site airport parking can be quite expensive, especially for longer trips.
- No Air Bridges for International Flights: International flights often require bus transfers to and from the aircraft instead of using air bridges.
Overall, Naha Airport provides a pleasant experience for domestic travelers with its modern and clean facilities. However, international passengers should be prepared for potential delays at check-in, security, and immigration, and anticipate limited food and shopping options once past security. It is advisable for international travelers to arrive well in advance of their flights.
