The trip entails going to NRT and landing at 1:55pm. Then jumping back on the same plane at 4:20 to return to NYC the next day.

Any NRT pros care to comment? Is 2 hours enough time to connect? I am thinking so but just want to make sure before I book it.

No need to go thru immigration or customs - just like at LHR, you go thru mini-security, then straight to flight connections desk.

May not be the exact same plane, depending on airline. Often the planes rotate around the system, and don't just fly back to origin.
Have fun.
