Are 2 hours enough for HND-LAX connecting to Alaska domestic?

I have heard bad things about HND flights to LAX....

Next week, I will be arriving on the HND-LAX at 7pm, and connecting to an Alaska flight at LAX at 9pm.

Are 2 hours sufficient to make this connection, given that the passengers are bussed into TBIT?

Unless something unusual happens, this should be plenty of time. But yes, it's quite annoying to have to go through the TBIT. Note: Alaska is flying out of T6 now.

IMO two hours is not enough because of the bus to TBIT unless you have GE and no checked bags. remember that the bus means that sitting in front of the aircraft does not mean getting through immigration first. Also, I have seen customs Xray every item entering from some Asian destinations, which can mean an additional hour in line.

Should be fine. Haneda usually gets in at least a half hour early anyway.
