It was pretty easy. Booked both my ticket to my hotel from the airport and my return ticket. Went to the counter, presented my qr code and and I was given my ticket. Would use again.

It was confusing that we bought our tickets and received a QR code but still needed to stop at the ticket office in order to get our actual seats and paper tickets to get through the gates. It would be better if we did not need to get in line to get paper tickets after buying tickets online . The train otherwise was good and plenty of luggage space and convenient.

I have always been impressed with Casey and of course any Japanese strain network. It was efficient. Everyone is courteous it's clean and I always love writing on the case lines the skyline was wonderful. No one keeps things as efficient as to does exceptionally professional, and with everything everything that you spend right. When I did my online reservation, I had a problem and called and the person I texted her was Suja I believe very very helpful and very kind polite, thoughtful, and considerate thank you

I had a great experience with Keisei Skyliner from Ueno, Tokyo to Narita Airport. Luckily, I didn't have to take any other form of transportation. I was able to walk from my hotel and easily found the entrance as it was separate from the JR lines. Although I purchased my ticket ahead of time, I waited in a fast moving line to get a real ticket from a real person, who was able to assign me a car and seat. It was very easy to find my car and seat and I was extremely comfortable the whole way! Quick and easy! I highly recommend.

Zoom straight from Narita Airport to Ueno or Nippori in 36 minutes flat with the superfast Keisei Skyliner train transfer.

The Skyliner runs every 20 minutes at both stations, so you won’t be stuck counting tiles when you could be eating sushi in the city.

Upgrade your pass to include 24-hour subway access, and enjoy unlimited rides throughout the city, covering all your transportation needs!

Get comfortable with guaranteed seats, fast Wi-Fi, ample legroom, and luggage space that lets you roll in style without hugging your suitcase.

QR code was easy to scan and get tickets. I also like that it drops off exactly at Narita station and don't have to walk far from the station.
