JAL Sakura Lounge at HND International Terminal is open from 4:30 a.m. till 1:30 a.m. Few food court fast food type restaurants in departure gate/transit area of HND are open 24 hrs. If you want sit down full service restaurant then have to get out on landside of the HND International Terminal. Last I checked there are two or three restaurants at the landside of HND International Terminal are open 24 hrs. Are there another reason to go through customs and come out on the landside of the terminal? Could be to get some fresh air?
Cathay Pacific Lounge at HND is open from 22:00 – 1:30 because of 1:45 departure of DragonAir, isn’t it? Hence limited service, isn’t it? Cathay Pacific lounge at HND opens at 7:30 a.m.
Food service at JAL Sakura Lounge ends at 12 midnight. However, JAL Sakura Lounge Skyview (another lounge at HND International Terminal) closer to gates CX uses has food service till 1:30 a.m.
I have also few 747-400 on CX HND-HKG a year or so ago. I am wondering with fewer 747s flying these days is it possible that CX 747-400 flight could have been my last 747 flight? With such turnaround at HND, are you going to have same cabin crew as HKG-HND and HND-HKG?
