40 minute connection in NRT on NH (J)
We purchased our tickets on ANA's website - it has us returning SIN-NRT NH802 arriving NRT at 14:30 - then departing NH010 NRT-JFK deaprting at 15:10. I read the other thread about connections - if the legal connection is 45 minutes, why was this ticketed this way? Are we going to have issues? Oh, and from JFK on a separate ticket we go back to DC.

If NH ticketed it on one ticket, I am sure they are going to make sure it happens. Maybe they have recently shaved 5 minutes of MCT?
I would not worry about it being possible to make such connection.

Well, there goes checking out the NRT lounge 
We fly to SIN via HND. Do you think we could approach ANA to see if they can move us to an earlier flight? They have two red eyes - one at 11:55 pm and one at 12:40am - we booked the transit hotel but I would ditch that. Any suggestions on how to approach this if so? We are coming on Singapore Airlines from Vietnam arriving Singapore around 4pm.

I looked at the seat map and that red eye flight is full in business. I will check the day before but it's doubtful it will open up. I want to be prepared in case our luggage does not make it since it's tight. What is their policy on delivering luggage? We are ticketed on NH to JFK but we continue on to WAS.

If you make it, your luggage will in all likelihood also make it. Though ask at the gate before boarding the JFK flight if the luggage will make it. They will be able to see that. If not, ask them already if they can put it on the next IAD flight instead of JFK as you are flying on.

Whch date are you flying ?
I couldn't find NH10 departing on 15:10, but 16:40 during Nov2018 and Mar2019.
BTW, NH10 arrives at JFK on 15:10.
MCT of NH-NH II at NRT is 45min.
Sometimes, because of summer/winter schedule, airlines make some exceptions.
But I couldn't find an annouvement of exception.

True- we have some time to check out the NRT lounge now (since I did goof up the times).. we will know the HND lounge really well since the HND-SIN leg is a red eye- we will be hanging out waiting for our flight.!
