Hi! I'm about to book a trip to Japan this June, and I'm a bit confused about airports in Osaka? Which should I book tickets for?
Thanks,
Kansai or Itami Airport Going to Osaka?

Good to know! Thanks :)
It depends on where you are going ultimately and I gather Kansai airport has more frequent flights? Have fun on your trip, June will be getting hot and sweaty.
both airports are conveniently located (shuttle busses operate from Osaka CBD).
Kansai is the main international airport in Osaka, it is much newer and serves a small number of domestic flights too.
Itami used to be the international airport before Kansai and is much older, smaller. It is now just a domestic airport. Prices may differ though if you're worried about transportation they are both quite accessible.
Kansai is a much better airport as it is newer and is a lot bigger.
I had some issues with the booking yesterday, but pretty sure I will book sometime today. Itami has better times, which makes us use the whole day rather than spending time within the airport. And also my husband is scared to fly and even more if the airport is close to the water… so, Itami will work better for us! Thanks for your replies. Really appreciated! I will upload my planned itinerary so you can give me feedback. Thanks!
The cheaper one :P (most likely Kansai). Both would take about the same time and cost to get to the center of Osaka
