How much time will it take to claim luggage from UA, navigate to JL's terminal, and re-check luggage there? I'm sure 2 hours is more than enough, but deck is stacked against us as far as arriving on time (UA + ORD in winter).
Does this involve a change from Terminal 1 to Terminal 2 at NRT? If so, allow plenty of time as the buses between terminals aren't very frequent.
