Kansai International Airport (KIX)

Kansai International Airport features two main terminals connected by free shuttle bus and train services on a man-made island in Osaka Bay. Terminal 1 is the primary international hub serving major carriers including JAL, ANA, and international airlines, with four floors and 60+ gates spanning domestic and international sections. Terminal 2 serves primarily low-cost carriers including Peach, Jetstar, and several Asian budget airlines, featuring 14 gates across domestic and international areas. The terminals are approximately 2.5km apart requiring a 8-10 minute shuttle journey. T1 walking times: check-in to gates 15-25 minutes due to the terminal's length, gate-to-gate connections within T1 can take 20-30 minutes. Inter-terminal transfers add 15-20 minutes for shuttle transport. Immigration processing for international passengers typically takes 20-40 minutes depending on season and aircraft loads. Security screening averages 15-25 minutes with enhanced procedures. Both terminals feature extensive shopping, dining, and relaxation facilities including traditional Japanese restaurants, duty-free stores, and observation decks. The Aeroplaza complex between the terminals offers additional dining and hotel accommodations.
