, what comforts can I find her ?

Can I reserve Day room for her with my CC ? do i just call ## ?
Free internet is available still in Terminal 2 ? Terminal 1 have any ?
waiting lounge is air side , terminal 1 , 2nd floor ?

any other ideas ?

I am OW saphire , so i get in clubs . never pay attention to creature comforts. except for sushi !!

thanks
Twelve hours is PLENTY of time for a jaunt into the city of Narita, a pleasant little town with a lovely temple complex. As another poster said, the roundtrip on the Keisei local train costs only about 500 yen, a meal in a small restaurant in town should cost no more than 1500 yen, and if she can't afford that, the equivalent of about US$18 all told, then she really has no business traveling internationally. Actually, it would cost her the same or more to spend 12 hours in the terminal and would be far less interesting.

Just make sure she gets a transit visa at Immigration.
