Osaka travel guide

When traveling abroad, you will generally choose to join a group or travel independently. There is basically nothing to say about joining a group. What Bian Xiao wants to say is about free travel. You know, free travel is actually a very difficult thing. In a strange place, Xiao New Year has prepared a traffic guide for everyone.

Pregnant women fly because they brought pregnant women this time, so if they fly, they need to go to the maternity check-up hospital in advance to issue a perinatal certificate, also called a certificate of gestational age, which proves that they are less than 32 weeks pregnant and have no physical discomfort when flying. You can show it to the counter staff when changing the boarding pass.

When I was checking in in Beijing, I arrived at the airport earlier than my wife and went through the check-in formalities directly with the perinatal certificate. The counter staff learned that a pregnant woman was on the flight. After completing the formalities, they asked pregnant women to arrive at the airport late and needed to go to the counter for an interview. In fact, they simply asked if they were healthy and could continue their journey. In the meantime, I asked the counter staff if they could arrange a spacious seat and gave us a window seat in the front row of the non-emergency escape door very neatly. That's great.

But the check-in in Osaka is not as smooth as that in Beijing. First, I asked the gestational age, because I couldn't understand the perinatal certificate; Secondly, the airport staff will ask us to fill out a crew disclaimer, to the effect that pregnant women ask themselves to fly, and any problems have nothing to do with them; Thirdly, when I asked for a spacious seat, I was told that I needed to pay more money. But after boarding the plane, I found that there was no one in the cabin at all, and the first row of seats were basically empty.

There is no need to queue for security check. This is a good welfare, but the machines are all inspected by people. It seems that you don't have to wait in line to go through customs. When you see a special window, only the disabled are marked, and pregnant women are not marked. If you are in a hurry, don't ask questions.

Airport traffic 1, Nanhai electric railway

We only booked one Osaka hotel, and the hotel is in Nanpu, so we chose the most convenient South China Sea Electric Railway to enter the city from Kansai International Airport, with a direct stop, and got off at Nanpu Station without reversing.

2.JR airport line

The advantage is that it is convenient to go to Tennoja.

3. Airport bus

It is convenient to go to Mei Tian, and there is a night bus to Nanbo, Nanhai.

The most convenient way to get back and forth from Kansai International is to take Rapi: T or the airport of Nanhai Electric Railway. The former is a designated seat, which is less than 10 minutes and much more expensive than the latter. We decisively chose the preferential package for foreigners, cross-rope! OSAKATICKET. It is a one-way ticket from Kansai International to Nanpu, including an express ticket and a one-day ticket for Osaka transportation. A set of 1500 is half price for children. It's much more cost-effective than buying two tickets separately. And if you don't catch up with the rush on the day you buy the ticket, you can change to the airport express or the ordinary train at will, and the interval is very short.

More interestingly, when buying tickets at the Nanhai Electric Railway at Kansai International Airport, we first went to the Nankai counter and were told that foreigners would go to the office next door to buy tickets. When I walked into the office, I opened my mouth and said a sentence in English. The Japanese guy at the counter spoke Chinese with a slight accent and asked, what can I do for you? There was such an operation ~ then we successfully chose the package we wanted to buy. Because we arrived at the station just a few minutes before the next emergency departure, the time was a little short. The boy at the counter kept urging us to buy quickly, otherwise we would miss the train. I said that I finally met a fluent China native and wanted to ask more questions about one-day tickets. The boy answered the question quickly, then stared at us and asked, do you still want to buy it? If you don't buy it, you won't catch up. Hurry up and buy a bus ~ ~ while pointing out the time for us, you say, look, it's almost time. Let's go ~ ~ Yeah, okay. . In fact, the platform is very close, and it takes less than a minute to get down the stairs.

Meanwhile, two pairs of CP from China came to ask about the package. The young man at the counter is busy issuing tickets for us here, while others are answering. The routine is still the same: buy it quickly, or you will miss the train ~ ~ What is there to talk about? You have to catch the bus ~ ~ A sister asked if I could buy tickets at the counter outside. Boys say they can buy it, but they have to queue up to buy it here. If he can't speak English fluently, he can buy it here, and he will miss the train ~ ~

Well, it's true. .

On the issue of single-day flow tickets, mainly referring to official website's introduction, it is only allowed to be used on the day of purchase or the next day, and the validity period is from the date of use to the end of the day. But some raiders said they could be used any day, so I asked the guy at the counter and gave the answer: Of course, it can only be postponed until the next day, and we can't choose the time at will.

In addition, when we use a one-day ticket, the first trip is by bus. When we got off the bus, the driver just looked at the ticket and didn't swipe his card. So at that time, we also thought that this one-day ticket might be used at will, but the official regulations only allow it to be postponed until the next day. But later, we were required to swipe our cards by bus or subway. It was confirmed that it could only be used the next day. If we swipe the card, the information of the card has been written in the sales, and it can't be swiped beyond the time limit, so don't take any chances and do it according to other people's official regulations.

In addition, if you buy a one-day ticket separately, you can buy it at several preferential purchase points for foreigners mentioned in the link of Osaka Municipal Transportation Bureau above. If you buy it directly in the subway, it will be hundreds of dollars more expensive than buying it at a designated place with your passport.

For the transportation from Nanpu to Kansai International Airport, we bought the airport express ticket directly from the ticket vending machine of Nanhai Electric Railway. Because we took the early flight from Nanbo to the airport that day, it didn't involve other traffic problems, just paying attention to the train time in advance. The time of Nanhai Electric Railway can be found in the given link.
