Looks like that narrows my only options are connecting on a flight to TSA, GMP, or MNL since those are the only JAL/OW flights under 5 hours that have a same-day connection (aka before 6am the next day). Cathay Pacific's HKG is 5 hours 10 minutes and I figure they will be very strict on the 5 hour limit. MNL barely squeezes by with 4 hours 55 minutes...

The only F flight that has a working connection is HND-SYD and I don't want to go that far...

Time to rework my travel plans! Thank you for your help!
The F lounge is just a nicer area with nicer catering and service. I personally would not plan my travel solely for the purpose of the F lounge access.
