I read on previous threads on the NW boards that 1.5hrs is not a problem for the connecting flight back. Has anyone flown back from NRT experienced any increased security delay in the past month?
Also, since I booked 2 separate round trip tickets, will it be an issue to check my bags through to ATL from PEK? I'm hoping I won't have to pick up my bags from NRT and go through security again. I would just call up Delta on this question, but I have more faith in the responses here
Thanks!
First off, Welcome to FT,
meadow!
Make sure to have NW link your two records in their system before you go. You will have plenty of time to connect. In the case that there is a problem with connecting, it is likely that there is another NRT-USA NW flight later as there are NW flights to DTW, MSP, ATL, SEA, LAX, PDX, and JFK.... all depends upon your timing.
Have a great trip.
