Comfortable flight with Skymark’s free service It takes about 2 hours and 10 minutes from Centrair to Naha, with three round-trip flights a day, and I took flight SKY551 departing at 8:30 this time. Skymark offers two discount fares, “Ima-tekkaku” and “Tasutoku,” and the “Tasutoku” discount fare in particular allows passengers to change their reservation up to a day before boarding, so it is flexible even if plans change at the last minute. At the counter, you can check in smoothly using a self-service check-in machine, and baggage up to 20 kg per person can be checked in free of charge. If seats are available at the time of booking, they can also be reserved free of charge. With a seat pitch of 31 inches (approx. 79 cm), the cabin seats are unexpectedly spacious and comfortable. About 80% of the aircraft are equipped with power outlets under each seat, making it possible to work on a laptop computer or charge a smartphone during the flight. Complimentary coffee and Kit Kat were served in the air. In-flight drink service is common, but it was nice to be offered even sweets. The Kit Kat was in an original Skymark package, giving it a special touch. Drinks and snacks other than coffee are also available for 100 yen, so you can easily purchase them to fill your stomach. My seat was on the window side, so I was able to enjoy the view of the sky as we flew to Okinawa. The wing tips (winglets) are marked with red hearts to please the eye. This time, both round-trip flights were on aircraft with the heart symbol, but there are also aircraft with sunflowers and musical note symbols. When you fly Skymark, be sure to pay attention to the wing marks as well.
Access from the Airport to Sesoko Island via Sesoko Ohashi Bridge Arriving at Naha Airport at 10:50 a.m., it is about a 90-minute drive from there to Sesoko Island by car. The distance between Sesoko Island and Naha Airport is about 90 km, but the Okinawa Expressway makes it easy to get to and from the island. The 762-meter-long Sesoko Ohashi Bridge spans from Motobu Peninsula, where the Churaumi Aquarium and other tourist attractions are located, to Sesoko Island, making access convenient even for an island. The island is only about 8 km in circumference, but with the opening of the Hilton Okinawa Sesoko Resort in 2020, it is attracting attention as one of the prefecture’s leading tourist spots. In addition to driving, visitors can take a local bus from the airport to Motobu Port near Sesoko Ohashi Bridge, but from there they will need to take a cab or walk. Therefore, it is better to use a rental car to get around the island.
