How long will I need to clear immigration, get bags, get to domestic terminal, and check in again please?
OKA-ISG flights are available at
14.55 or 15.45 (JAL)
16.25 (ANA)
Which flight is recommended?
And- for routes like this with regular frequencies, do the airlines typically allow you to get an earlier/later flight if possible? Or are they strict with the fare rules?
Many thanks
The problem is not so much immigration, but potential ATC delays out of PVG. I would want to put a fair amount of space between the two flights. Somewhere around 3 hours and upwards.
Both JAL and ANA are generally reasonable to deal with, but they are very rules based. I would expect them to be accommodating for putting you on a later flight if you miss the connection, less so if you show up early.
