Excellent ground transportation options if you have reserved ahead. Beware of scrupulous taxi operators that are under benign neglect by the authorities. Of course, there is the mag-lev for the trip to mid-town but then one has to be careful about onward ground transportation. There is a nominal saving for return trip ticket purchases on the mag-lev.

The arrivals area is better than average except that unlike other major airports there aren't many traveling walkways and the passport control queues become problematic owing to Murphy's Law.

The departures area is much better past security control. Traveling walkways stretch to the ends of the both terminals (domestic & international). The departure lounges (for "cattle class" passengers) have abundant and comfortable seating with good views. There are token eating places inside with the bulk of real estate rented out to duty-free. Frequent flier lounges are much superior than the pathetic ones served by United (SFO) or AA (LAX) at the U.S. airports. Of course, there are significant delays between boarding and takeoff owing to severe congestion that still cannot be alleviated with so many active runways.

If you are hungry, eat in the elevated section of check-in area before proceeding to security control.
