After about a hundred of NRT transit I have never needed more than 30 minutes.

So it looks like DL is cancelling the NRT-HKG segment on 10/26. Should be interesting to see how they will reroute all of us who have hopped on this flight.

Nothing to see; the only DL metal option is LAX SEA HKG.

Yes. It will be interesting, and I'm wondering how soon they will do this. I'm not going until January, but I'm thinking SEA-HKG may be quite full, and getting an aisle seat is important to me.

This is plenty of time for a Delta-to-Delta connection at NRT. There are people holding signs to guide people which way to go to re-screening and the outgoing boarding gate. If you decide to go for a very quick trip to the lounge, you have to allow some time for the re-screening.

Even with a late arrival, Delta may hold the plane or give connecting people a gate-to-gate escort.

Tried to be proactive and get the diamond line to rebook me but they aren't able to do so since no waiver has been posted yet. She did mention the flight is zeroed out now. Lame.

Lounges are after re-screening to departure area.
