Int-Dom connection in NRT (AA to Jetstar Japan, AA codeshare flight, ticketed all the way thru to OKA). This is for an 18 year-old, military, traveling alone. When she arrives in NRT, must claim baggage and clear customs. My question - what to do with the baggage after that? Is there a transit pax drop for bags checked through to final destination? Does she need to go back out to ticket counter? Is there signage in English in NRT?

Thanks for any help you can offer!

The Jetstar counters are in terminal 3, and your daughter will need to go to terminal 3 to recheck the luggage. Depending on how much luggage she will have it us either a 700 meter walk or there is a free shuttle bus. I believe passengers can take luggage carts all the way to T3, so it should be easy to walk. As Jet Star Japan is founded in cooperation with JAL and JAL use them as domestic feeder, I would imagine AA can issue the boarding passes. But I have no specific experience.
