I’ve been advised here by helpful people that it is no problem to through-check, with both flights being with ANA despite separate tickets.

Just thought I’d double check with ANA this was ok and they have advised me that because my layover is over 12 hours, I’ll need to collect my luggage at HND - in the transit area - and re-check it for the next flight.

Does anyone have experience with this? I never even knew that was possible to do in-transit, without entering the country (which they assured me I would NOT be doing) thanks for any advice!!

Edit: I was advised it was possible to collect baggage whilst remaining airside - just to be clear!?

Normally, 24 hours is the cut-off for when you no longer can check luggage through.

It is not possible to collect luggage while remaining airside.

I guess you are talking to the newly hired interns?
