Transport disruption was so bad at Narita last week that I didn’t even get to book a hotel! Reached Tokyo Station around 2am (well past normal closing time) and with an 8am departure from Haneda I opted for an Uber and a couple of hours in coffee shop before I could access lounge.

Think BA made the right call, having endured well over 4 hours of queuing in Narita and then 2 hours on train they’d have been dropping passengers into something nasty...
