This seems to happen often enough that they have a process to escort visitors past security without VJW which is what happened in this case (including a second unrelated guest).
So my mistake appears to be that the booking function for Royal Park Haneda Transit is tucked away at the very bottom of the Transit Area page. The transit booking process includes a transit area disclaimer and the only plans are 6 and 12 hours. The other standout feature is it's very booked.
Everything else will book the landside part.
Do I have this right this time around?
I have a ~15 hour layover in HND -- will be flying PVG-HND-LAX. Flights are sold by JL, but the HND-LAX portion is on AA metal.
I'm trying to decide whether to use the Royal Park (air side) or exit the airport. I'm leaning towards the transit hotel because I'm landing at night (8:30pm) and will have a 12 year-old kid with me. Other factors / questions I have:
- The hotel's lounge is still not open
- Seems like airside restaurants all close around 9 or 10pm -- will I be able to get a nice meal?
Another option is the newly-opened Villa Fontaine. Seems like it's connected to Terminal 3, but I'll have to go through immigration with the associated hassles of filling out the VFW. What would you do?
