Is that supposed to be 1:52 PM, or 12:52 AM? Or is there really a red-eye that leaves SEA at 1:52 AM???
Anyway, if it's the red-eye, this combo isn't too bad, because you will sleep (guaranteed!) on the SEA-MSP sement.
I did a similar route: NRT-SEA-MSP-MSN, with a long layover in SEA. Visited friends while there, and fought very, very hard to stay awake! Then slept like a baby on the 4 hour flight to MSP. I don't remember take-off, that's for sure! And that was in coach.
Also, the 8-9 hour NRT-SEA flight seems a LOT shorter than the 12 hour NRT-DTW flight.
