It's your own bottom so you choose where it sits especially when you're the customer. I always sit in the window seat everytime when I'm there and I tell her that. I think the lounge crew remembers me though since everytime they direct me straight to there and I don't have to say an word

If arriving in HND on F, and wanting to enjoy the suite lounge without flying F, the only option is to arrive in NH F and depart on NH on a route with no F. Otherwise the class of your departing flight is deciding.

the ANA lounge access with an incoming F boarding pass is a courtesy by ANA, not a right. ANA wont extend that courtesy with a NON-ANA flight on the outbound.
You could ask/negotiate/beg the lounge dragons!

It kind of is self-explanatory, yet the question comes up ever so often... So I was just being preemptive.

Hi
If I arrive at HND on LH F and connect to a NH 2 class aircraft in C same day, will I be allowed to use the NH F/Suite lounges at HND?

OK Thx I thought it may be like LH/LX F lounges Are there slumber rooms/areas in the Business lounge(s)? Or is it better to book a room at Royal Park transit hotel? I have a 10 hour connection

If you were arriving as an NH first class passenger,, things would have been different. So it is quite like LH and LX in that aspect.....
I never noticed any slumber rooms in the J lounge. I can't say I have been looking either. But I would either go for the hotel, or do a bit of Tokyo sightseeing if it was me.

I agree with CPH-Flyer - I haven't seen any slumber rooms in the lounge. I was there for over 6 hours last year waiting for a delayed flight. I would have found them if they were there!

No slumber rooms that I saw but there is a nice quiet area in the back behind the second food station. There were a couple of people who found a way to "rest" and perhaps fine for say 4 hours, or 6. I've certainly had occasion to sleep in some lounges.
I know I've seen people sleeping in the massage chairs in the NRT lounge, but I don't recall seeing them in HND. Maybe I was too busy with the Noodle Bar.
