This was the line we were in and they always gave priority to them -- STAY LEFT!
The facial recognition line was empty -- we may sign up for that if this doesn't get back to normal soon. On the flip side -- we flew domestically from Haneda last week and there was no wait....
Do you know how to register for the Face ID lanes? I departed on April 29th in the morning (on TG) ands waiting time was about one hour, with both securities open (although not all counters). Face ID was less crowded, but it seems to have been available only for JL and NH pax. I did not fully get how it works.
This was the first time I epxerienced such crowds in Haneda on the outbound side, I'm usually departing overnight and it has always been a breeze. Now it looked like a total mess, I have only seen this long waiting times at Chinese airports before.
