I land at T3 (where the lounge is), but HND-CTS departs T1. Is my assumption correct that I land, follow the signs for sterile international transit, then grab dinner at the lounge? Afterwards I will need to go through immigration and transfer to T1. Just want to clarify what access on arrival looks like, I don't want to have to double back from T3 to T1 and back to T3 for the lounge and back to T1.
Hi,
You will not be allowed to go via International Transit as you have a boarding pass for HND-CTS.
You will need to go via Immigration, collect your luggage ( point of entry to Japan), clear customs then go to the domestic transfer desk to drop your bags off then head over to T1 and clear security there
As you have arrived off a First class flight then you should have access to the first class lounge ( called Diamond premier). It is not that bad imho for a japanese domestic lounge ( better than the domestic sakura lounges) with some snacks,drinks, showers ( i think) and ok for a little while
