๐ข Terminal Information
Aomori Airport (AOJ) operates with a single, modern terminal building that efficiently handles both domestic and seasonal international charter flights. The terminal's second floor houses a common lounge, accessible to eligible passengers (including certain JAL and oneworld elite members, and Priority Pass holders), offering a quiet space with Wi-Fi and non-alcoholic beverages.
Throughout the terminal, travelers can find a selection of cafes and restaurants serving local Aomori specialties, as well as souvenir and duty-free shops. Due to Aomori's snowy winters, the airport is well-equipped for snow operations, but passengers should factor in potential weather-related delays, especially during winter months. Ground transportation includes bus services to Aomori city center.

๐ข Terminal Information
Akita Airport (AXT) serves Akita Prefecture in the Tohoku region of northern Japan. This regional international airport efficiently handles both domestic flights, primarily connecting to Tokyo (Haneda) and Osaka (Itami), and limited international charter services, catering to regional business and tourism. The terminal building is a modern, single-level facility designed for efficiency and passenger comfort, with a clear layout for check-in, security, and boarding gates. Its design and operations are well-suited to managing the regional air traffic.\n\nSecurity procedures at AXT are efficient and adhere strictly to Japanese aviation regulations. Passengers can expect streamlined check-in processes, often available at self-service kiosks, followed by thorough but quick security screening. During the winter months, Akita receives heavy snowfall, and airport operations are highly experienced in snow removal and de-icing to maintain flight schedules; however, travelers should still anticipate potential weather-related delays and plan accordingly. Boarding is typically facilitated via jet bridges, though some smaller regional aircraft may use apron positions.\n\nAmenities within the terminal include souvenir shops offering local Akita specialties, such as Kiritampo (rice sticks), local sake, and goods featuring the famous Akita dog. Several cafes and restaurants serve both Japanese and light Western fare. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the terminal. For ground transportation, car rental services are conveniently located within the terminal, and regular bus services connect the airport to Akita city center and major train stations. The airport provides a comfortable and efficient gateway to the natural beauty and cultural heritage of Akita Prefecture.
