[Otaru → New Chitose Airport] ✈️ Super comfortable with the secret trick to getting the Airport Express U-Seat! 🚃

Not only are they great for traveling from New Chitose Airport to Otaru, but the U-seats on JR Hokkaido's "Rapid Airport" trains are also the best for traveling from Otaru to New Chitose Airport. ✨
For an additional 840 yen, you're guaranteed a seat and they come with an outlet. 🔌
There's also ample luggage space.

But actually, these U-seats have a little "trick"! 👀
Some trains departing from Otaru are direct trains that run as "local trains" to Sapporo Station and then change to "Rapid Airport" from Sapporo.
In this case, the Otaru-Sapporo section is treated as a local train, so reservations aren't possible.
But! You can sit in a U-seat car for free! ✨
And if you reserve a U-seat (840 yen) only from Sapporo onward, you can stay in the same seat all the way to the airport.
In other words, it's a "continuous comfortable seat" experience: free from Otaru, paid from Sapporo. 🎉

The trick is to check whether the train departing Otaru is a direct train that runs directly from Sapporo.
You can easily tell by comparing it with trains departing at the same time from Sapporo Station.

New Chitose Airport Station is directly connected to the airport's underground station, making travel easy even with heavy luggage. ✈️
Easily reserve a U-seat on your smartphone through "Eki-net." 📱
If you reserve just the U-seat, you can board the train ticketlessly with a public transport IC card.

If you want to savor the memories of Otaru and enjoy your final journey in comfort, be sure to try this secret trick! ✨
