Customers Connecting in Japan between International Flights
Travelers who are not entering Japan and transferring directly to a third country by transit, are not required to submit any documents and undergo inspections in Japan. Nonetheless, travelers are still subject to the travel/entry restrictions and requirements of their final destination.
However, the following cases require entry into Japan. Please be informed that foreign nationals arriving from prohibited countries will not be allowed to enter Japan.
- Transferring between Tokyo International Airport (Haneda Airport) and Narita International Airport
- Travelers with a connecting flight out of Narita International Airport the following day
Does this mean a transit passenger would not be permitted since the departing flight is at 12:05 AM? Not sure how strict Japan is on 5 minutes.
Mahalo! P
I don't believe that Narita has a 12:05am Bangkok flight, that sound suspiciously like the Haneda flight. Which means a change of airport which is currently not allowed. There are HNL HND flights as well, so if you can swing it via Haneda all will be good.
If there really is a 12:05am flight from Narita to Bangkok, that would, with how it is treated be considered a same day connection. The terminal closing for the day is the cut of point. Which normally is after the QR/EK departures around 22:30 though.
Can you post the planned flight numbers, then it might be possible to give a clear answer.
