I have two upcoming flights and was wondering if I would get lounge access?
Flight 1: SFO -> HND on UA J award ticket. HND -> CTS on ANA Y paid ticket. Would I have lounge access at HND?
Flight 2: HND -> KIX on Starflyer Y. KIX -> SFO on UA J all on one award ticket. Would I have lounge access at HND? I know I should get lounge access in KIX.
Sucks that these flights are 2 weeks after my star alliance gold status expires.

ANA is a real stickler for the rules, with one extraordinarily mean exception, they base lounge access solely on the onward boarding pass... even if you are connecting NH—>NH going from J to Y they don’t let you in.
And star alliance doesn’t have an overall policy like oneworld for connecting flights (although some individual airlines have more generous policies, like UA who allows you in on connecting services).

Unfortunately i think the answer to both of there is ‘no’.

I'm flying IAH-HND on NH in F and connecting same-day to HND-BKK on NH in J. I thought I read that I'd have access to the F lounge in HND. Is that correct? (The HND-BKK flight does not offer an F cabin.)

F to J/Y same day, same airport, NH to NH, INT to INT is the one exception to the rule.

Yup. And as per CPH-flyer’s response, the ‘mean’ part is that if you have to transfer airports, F lounge access is denied (so NH F arriving HND and departing NH J from NRT, or v.v, you get sent to the J lounge).

There’s a new lounge at NRT opening late March.
Japanese article here https://www.aviationwire.jp/archives/194292
It seems like it’s just a regular business lounge though, no paired suite lounge.

I imagine the food/services are the same across all 3 lounges, just makes it much easier gate-wise
No windows in the mock ups, though I expect there to be some (see older review of Delta club in same space)
https://www.knaviation.net/review-de...o-2-tokyo-nrt/
Says opening March 2020 - don't think Delta announced a closure date for their lounge, plus renovation time?
Unless Google translate got it wrong, think it's a different space than Delta? Delta has 4th floor
The Japanese article says 2nd floor
The new lounge will be located on the second floor of Terminal 1, Satellite 2 and will be open from 7:30 am to 7:00 pm.

The actual refurb may also just happen after the transfer, and they just switch the signage overnight. If it is mainly just furniture and a bit of paint, they can do it in stage while the lounge is open.

Would it not be the DL lounge until they leave NRT at the end of March, or are they going to be without a lounge for a bit?

新ラウンジの場所は第1ターミナルの第2サテライト2階で、営業時間は午前7時30分から午後7時までを予 定している。
this video in 2017 shows there used to be apublic lounge on 2nd floor?

Maybe they start with second floor, and expand later. Or they only need the second floor

According to the latest press release:
ANA Group Announces Flight Schedule for Fiscal Year 2020 | Press Release | ANA Group Corp.'s Information
On March 29, 2020, a new lounge will be unveiled at Haneda Airport Terminal 2. The lounge was designed under the supervision of Kengo Kuma, a world-renowned Japanese architect, and it will be open once service for the international flights begins at Terminal 2.

i only see aviationwire link saying 2nd floor for new lounge
from this video in 2019 (6:32), Delta is 4th floor and 2nd floor is not labeled (there's an escalator going down)
