		Narita International Airport (Japanese: 成田国際空港 Narita Kokusai Kūkō) (IATA airport code: NRT, ICAO Airport Code: RJAA) is an international airport in the eastern portion of Narita, Chiba, Japan.
		Initially, surveyors proposed placing the airport in the village of Tomisato: however, Tomisato residents refused to give up their land, so the site was moved 5 km northeast to the village of Sanrizuka　where the Imperial Household had a large farm, the government therefore had less difficulty to place the planning airport.
		Recently, Tokyo International Airport was allowed to have other international flights within Asia, as well as to Hawaii, in an attempt to alleviate Narita's problems with capacity.

		In 1954 Bahrain's position as the major airport in the region was further enhanced with the establishment of a new Flight Information Region based in Bahrain to cover the navigation of aircraft in transit through Gulf airspace.
		Even with the new expanded airport facilities it quickly became obvious that further expansion would be needed to accommodate these "jumbo peaks." A further expansion phase of the airport was completed in 1976, just five years after the opening of the new passenger terminal.
		Further expansion of the airport's facilities took place in the early eighties as a prelude to the major expansion and refurbishment programme that was completed in March 1994.

		Essentially a regular international airport for the developing world (it even has a Mcdonald's outside!) with friendly, helpful staff (well, almost - the security guys didn't speak english and as i didn't speak urdu it was real easy to just go thru).
		My memories of the airport is that it was very clean, modern, very friendly staff - can't remember about other amenities ie.
		However, in a high profile installation such as Karachi International, some attempt at civility must be made ostensibly for the international community-ie; the US.

		Aliuddin, director general of Pakistan's Civil Aviation Agency, said an agreement to open Karachi international airport to the U.S.-led coalition is likely to be signed soon.
		But the move to open the international airport in Pakistan's southern port city also appeared to compensate the United States for recently reduced access to an important military airbase and to draw Washington closer at a time of high tensions with India.
		It is expected that the old Karachi airport will be reserved for the Americans who fly sorties from their warships in the Gulf, and supplement these efforts through a base in Pakistan which has a long border with Afghanistan.

		One advantage of flying to Karachi via Europe is that the check-in times from Birmingham are just as for European flights, so no need to be at the airport 3 hours prior to departure.
		Connection times at the renowned Dubai airport are fine on the outward journey (on a couple of days of the week, at least), but this doesn't compensate for the long wait on the return journey.
		Karachi is one of the key gateways to Pakistan, so if you're having difficulties getting flights there, you may have problems full stop.
