I couldn't agree more. As Haneda is their main hub, I would expect a better airport experience. How was the Fast Track when you were there? When I was there in April, there was no dedicated security line for priority passengers. Fast Track meant that I didn't have to queue to scan my BP, but I had to join the regular queue for the scanners. I got several "How dare you skip the line. I won't let you in front of me" looks. Not the best experience.

As a "lowly" OWE, I did, however, enjoyed boarding in group 1 and skipping the long queue of J and OWS pax
