Bus versus train from airport(s) to Yokohama

Personal opinion: If you have luggage, the bus is usually the better 
option because it is literally "door to door" from the curb at the 
airport to the front of the hotels, see: 
http://www.limousinebus.co.jp/en/hotelguide/result/2/22

Drawbacks are mostly related to the schedule (there aren't that many 
buses to Yokohama) and delays due to traffic. Based on many years of 
taking to bus from Narita to central Tokyo, I don't think I've ever 
been delayed more than 10 minutes.

The trains require more navigation of stairs and escalators and at 
least one change (in Yokohama from NEX to the Minatomirai Line), but 
run more frequently.

The host website http://ietf94.jp/access/ has this information and
if anything is missing, just speak up and they will do their best
to add it.

Hi Randall,
I think so. Another option (it's not a train, though) might be limousine
bus. It takes around 2hours, but it takes you to the hotels in minato-mirai
area.
(e.g. http://www.limousinebus.co.jp/en/platform_searches/index/2/26 )

Also, when you buy NEX ticket at NRT, please make sure the train goes to
Yokohama. There are some NEX trains to go to other destinations.

BTW, maybe we had better use 94attendees?

For those flying into NRT, I assume the Narita Express is the best train
option?
