Do they offer a Priority line? Since we aren't flying into Haneda I don't have a way to guage this. Is the airport busy? I found good information for the check in/ Security/ Customs process but not as much detail as I'd like to have.

Thank you
Haneda is still suffering from the post-COVID "Hangover" -- they don't have enough employees and they have half the security lines open versus pre-COVID... The priority lines have not yet reopened and the lines to get through security are quite long (by Japanese standards) -- on average over the past year it takes us from 30-60 minutes to get through at the time you will be traveling (in the past it was never more than 10). We have shifted a lot of our flying to NRT because of this but just allow yourself extra time and there will be no issues.... Take one bus earlier and don't worry about it....
