CX450 so yes a through flight.

CX542 is preferred with an afternoon departure, plus HND would be a bit closer to town. Its showing F5 on the 15th next month, so I'll keep watching BA to see if something opens up for AS.

Thanks for the thoughts

1) The night before. PERHAPS.... if it's too early they'd probably tell you to change the ticket. but given 504 departs at 0905 you'd lose lounge time (504, 450 to NRT; 542, 548 to HND are the ones that consistently runs F) yet if you arrive late enough it might be at station control already which means standby ok.
2) I have never tried: if you have a bit of time maybe you can get to HND at around 2pm to ask. if all fails you have 2.5 hours to get to NRT.
