Best way to travel from Osaka airport to Namba. The booking process on Pelago was seamless, and redeeming the voucher was easy as well. Simply follow the link provided in the voucher to reserve your time. Once you've completed the reservation, you will receive a QR code that can be scanned at the ticket gate to board the Express Train Rapi:t.
Decided to try pre-purchasing the ticket rather than lining up to get at the location. Very simple to use and book. I liked that it gives me the allowance to change the train timing up to 1hr before the booking time (also dependant on whether there's vacancy on the train ). Definitely a good purchase.
Need to reserve seat by clicking on the link of the voucher before taking the train. Easy to redeem and the train service is fast and comfortable.
Physical Exchange order arrived within a week. No problem whatsoever. Super easy to use
Effortless! The ride was great and we’re happy we chose this option to transfer from the KIX airport to our hotel among the many others available.
Received the confirmation via WhatsApp 2 minutes after booking! Easy to exchange for the ticket at the Nankai Namba station ticket office. Got a reserved seat as well. The Rapi:T express was so comfortable and nice!
