Is there a possibility of overnight layover? Or is that not allowed? Quite difficult to get a connection nowadays.
If there is an allowance of an overnight layover, how many hours can one wait? Is there a limit for the bag connection?

But that is a case you'd need to check. Assuming these days is not that easy.

I would assume not, as Narita normally shuts down for the night, and force everyone to leave the terminal, i.e. need to enter the country. I have not seen that they have made an exception to this for people who can't enter the country.

Speaking to someone else he was saying the government/officials wouldn't force you to leave the post-security terminal. And seeing what the government has done recently it does seem like that would be correct?

In normal days, they would clear the terminals overnight. I know people who have been sent back landside when their plane was delayed, and ultimately caught in the curfew. I have not seen any indication that this has changed, though I don't know. Hence I assume no, but it is certainly one to check up on since assuming on standard conditions is far from certain these days.

But I actually wouldn't ask before, because (unless I'm off here) it seems the government doesn't actually have much enforcement power. Like the guy who had coronavirus and was going to spread it to the world? He went to karaoke and gave it to other people and the police said they couldn't do anything.
Oh yeah, and I've asked for things in Japan before that are non-standard. The answer is always no, except they don't use that word. Even though sometimes it can be yes.

Sorry if this has already been answered (If it is I cant find it). I have 3 ANA award tickets on LX TK UA ET this summer from the USA to South Africa. They depart on June 30 and return on July 14. Is this able to be refunded (miles and tax/fees) and if so how do I go about the refund. Thanks!

I triggered the refund request online on March 17, got an email from ANA confirming reservation cancellation on April 1 and got my money back in my credit card on April 3 so 2.5-ish weeks total.

Seeing if anyone has any update on the status of NRT transfers that DO require an overnight (thus having to enter the country). I.e., my in-laws would go HKG-NRT-SFO, but have to overnight at NRT due to flight timing.
Are there any airside hotels? I found this option - https://www.apo-resthouse.com/english/ - but I'm assuming you still have to enter the country to be able to access (even if on NRT grounds).
Thanks for any advise.

I would expect that to make the connection impossible. But I don't have hard evidence to back that . Though normally overnight connections require you to go landside, and landside is not possible under the current conditions unless you hold a Japanese passport, and await the result of a Corona test coming from Hong Kong.
