Why can a Suica purchased at Narita airport not be returned at Haneda airport?
On my recent visit to Japan, I landed at Narita airport and departed from Haneda airport. I was told that a Suica card was a very convenient thing to have, so I purchased one on arrival at Narita. At the end of my trip, I wanted to return the card at Haneda to get back the money I had put on it, but I was told this was not possible, with very vague explanations. What gives?
