Transfer between flights

Nagoya is not as large a connecting airport as Haneda, Narita or Kansai, but due to its central location within Japan, there are frequent transfers between domestic flights.

Due to the many international flights here, some airlines (notably Finnair, Japan Airlines, United and Cathay Pacific) also offer guaranteed transfers from international flights.
