Han largely leaves the act of guiding the ship to Chewbacca's experience and Rey's impressive reflexes. Which he's noticed, much to his dismay, are likely to surpass his own. Their destination being in the Ileenium it always seemed like you had to traverse through plenty of asteroid fields - both charted and uncharted - to get to any of the planets.
Hard to miss what a good team the two of them make. There's a touch of regret that he has to dump Finn and Rey off that he's feeling right now, but if the choice is between these two kids and his own son? Well, it ain't no choice at all, really. Even though they haven't spent more than a few days together, they made a good little team. The mood in the cockpit is heavy and a bit sad.
Han talks to the on planet transit authorities when the get into the planet's atmosphere and clearance to enter the airspace is grated. They then need to find the Resistance base on planet, which is no easy feat, even for the scanners on the Millenium Falcon. Eventually, Han, with more time to study of the readouts on the displays and actually look at the topography of the land, figures out where it is.
He has no trouble getting clearance to land the old YT-1300 at the base. At this point, the ship is nearly a century old (so there are hardly any in service) and with that familiar voice on the comm, the resistance fighters on this satellite base are all eager to receive the Millenium Falcon and welcome Han Solo, even though neither name is dropped during transmission. They frankly don't have to be.
Kylo will have to sit tight for almost an hour.
It's Han's idea to have Chewie stay behind, essentially, to keep people away from his son if anyone should come on board while he's tending to a few matters here.
