Can I make a 3 hours connection at FUK on an international flight?
3 hours clears the 100-minute international minimum connection time at Fukuoka, but you should still head directly to your gate. Domestic Terminals 1, 2, and 3 are interconnected by covered walkways and moving sidewalks, making domestic-domestic transfers a short walk. Between the Domestic and International Terminals, passengers use a free shuttle bus (roughly 10-15 minutes depending on traffic) or the Fukuoka City Subway (a few minutes' ride but requiring a fare gate exit/entry and a walk on each end); either route demands full security and immigration re-screening for international-bound or international-arriving passengers.
