At this point I may need to scramble and rebook so that I arrive into NRT and buy a cash ticket into ICN from there.
Separately what is the current situation at NRT with respect to airside transfers between terminals? It looks likely that I would need to transfer from Terminal 2 to Terminal 1.
At this point I'm not optimistic that the HND-GMP corridor will open at any date in June. JL's website shows July 1 with earliest availability, and those they could take down at a moment's notice.
There is another strange thing going on at JL's site. I'm not a Japanese national so the purpose of my flight is just to transit at HND on the same ticket. Even though a GMP-HND flight is bookable starting 7/1, it errors out if I want GMP-HND-LAX. But HND-LAX for sure are running and has been for quite some time. As separate searches each segment appears, but not when you want to go from A to C. In fact, A-B-C isn't bookable until November 1 at earliest, with every date between now and then appearing as not available.
