Given that she is flying economy from TPE-NRT, can she check in at ANA business-class counter in TPE? Can she access Star Alliance Lounge in TPE (I think there is only Eva lounge?)
Thanks.
Star Alliance service is generally based on the class of the departing flight, with some exceptions. But as this is not NH's own lounge I doubt very much that that she can use the lounge. NH prints lounge access on the boarding pass, so will be easy to see. And they will give her a small map of lounge location is applicable..
Business class check in would probably work.
