ANA Suite Lounges at Narita
Hello All, I was able to upgrade to First Class on my NRT to LAX leg and wanted to know whether the Satellite 5's Suite Lounge is better than the one at Satellite 4.
Also, I wanted to visit the Business Class lounge because I never been there. Is it worth visiting if I have the option to use the Suite Lounge?
The food options in Suite Lounges seem to be more extensive than the ANA Lounge (Business). Is that correct?
I have a 6 hour layover, so I was going to overindulge, but wanted suggestions.
Thanks

I don't see why you would go to the business lounge if you have access to the F lounge. The food and drink selection is nicer on the F side, though not a massive upgrade.

If you really are that bored, you can go to the United First Class lounge.
ANA's food, drink and atmosphere is way better, but UA used to have dumplings and and a self-pouring beer machine. It's at least a change of pace and will give you some exercise there and back.
There's also a spa in the terminal not too far past the UA lounge, and they offer massages and other spa services for a reasonable fee.

In the past, there were a few reports of the *A lounges at NRT trying to discourage/prohibit/stop lounge hopping because of the added costs. IIRC the lounge dragons were marking or stamping boarding passes to prevent the passenger from getting into another lounge at NRT. YMMV.

OP is flying in F, I would find it ridiculous if they did stamp an F PAX's Ticket.
No I never had my ticket stamped for the years I've been flying NH.
J/F never had an issue. No experience for Y.

No stamp (how would you stamp a mobile BP?) but they do appear to key something into their terminals at entry. Does not appear to restrict access because:
a) I've lounge hopped both NH and UC lounges
b) I've even guested 2 different guests: one each across both lounges

The stamp on the boarding pass were NOT to prevent pax from getting into another lounge at NRT, it is more so they had checked and/or scan your boarding pass already, no need to do it again if you go out and come back.
Just like other posters mentioned, nobody had ever been rejected from lounge hopping, and neither do I ! Have you ?
P.S. I had recently been stamped at UA lounge in HKG as well just 3 weeks ago, and what does it means ? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING !!!

You never had your boarding pass stamped is because that is only a UA lounge practice, NH never stamped.
Just view the stamp as like when you go to a festival (I heard about Great America does that too) that don't provide a wrist band or sticker, if you need to go out but want to come back, those who guard the gate will stamp you right ? So that when you come back you don't need to pay for the admission again, same logic.
