Just a few questions for those of you have done this before:

1) Which Lounge can/should I access on arrival in NRT? I have about 2 hours before the BKK flight. I'll be arriving in First and connecting to Club ANA.

2) How well does the Connexion internet work?

3) I have pre-ordered a vegetarian meal (yes, I know I'm missing out...) - is this necessary? It appears that there are many meal options.

4) Finally, which Lounge can/should I use when I return from NRT? I'll be spending a few days in Tokyo before taking NH 010 back.

Any suggestions/thoughts will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
There are 2 new ANA lounges to choose from. They are all but identical with one minor exception. IIRC the lounge near the 40's gates have a F lounge on the 4th floor, 1 level up from the gates, with the business lounge on the 2nd floor. The lounge near the 50's has F to the right of reception and business to the left. Service and furnishings are the same. I'd definately go to the one closest to your departure gate both times.

Connexion works great. Although I had no success connectino via LAN cable and flawless success connecting via Wifi. There is a LAN connection socket in the F suite.

Re: Vegi meal. I suppose it all depends on how strict a vegitarian you are. Do you eat fish? You can certainly pick and choose from the kaiseki course and western course to make up your meal.

Regards,
