We took the subway Kuko Line from Gion Station to Fukuoka Domestic Airport (it doesn't go to International Terminal). Only 3 stops to Fukuoka Domestic Airport, 10mins at 260¥.
Follow the signs (sign are clear and informative) to take the free shuttle to International Terminal which runs back & forth every 5minutes. First shuttle starts at 6am. The queue is very systematic.
Restaurants at the airport open at 7.30am. If you need to get breakfast, 7-11 may be your only option.
After arriving at the lobby, we purchased a 7 day sim - 500MB per day for about 3000 yen.
Taxi won't manage 4 people with luggage so you'll need two.
Observation deck is at level 4. Arrivals is at 3rd floor and departure at 2nd floor. Many shops selling souvenirs and there are food shops. Restaurants also available at level 4 which leads to the observation deck. Open air concept. Accessible by subway line.
This airport is laid out well but is being remodeled just as every major airport in Japan is going through right now. Easy to get in and out of though.
The airport is efficient and easy to navigate. A tip for new visitors the security check points are on the 2nd floor. Flights for the most part seem to move on time. Arrivals are easy and its only a short walk to transport options.
This review is based on arriving since I didnt depart from this airport. I timed how much time it would take from I left the plane until I was outside the airport with my luggage. The timer was stopped at 16 minutes and 43 second. I think that says it all.
Its actually the fastest I've seen but I do take into mind that this airport is smaller than the likes of Changi, Kansai, Narita etc so takes less time to walk from the plan to immigration. But still 10 minutes faster than number two on my list, Haneda.
Also very easy to get from the airport to the city with the airport subway line.
