This just based on prior posts.

I also wonder what happens if a flight is delayed at HNL such that they know, BEFORE you board, that you will misconnect...will then refuse you at HNL?
I suppose the latter is possible; if their systems of course flag up that there literally is no other way for me to get out of Japan (My flight arrives at 4pm, so there are many other ways to get out, just only one that I'm booked on). Assuming the HA flight often arrives early (20-30 mins), do you think a 1h55 connection in NRT is "safe". I previously had a 6- hour, but the onward flight was canceled, assumedly due to Japan's present restrictions.

Further question... Is there additional security to connect (HA to JL Int'l) flying from the US? Or, is it just a matter of walking to the next gate. Any priority for C/J pax?
