Yes, NRT is generally very efficient. From the time you exit your arriving flight, you should be able to clear security again and be at the lounges in about 10 mins. Obviously not a lot of time, and I'd move briskly, but certainly do-able.

I showed up by train 1 hr 10 minutes before my flight was to depart 2 weeks ago, got my tickets, through security, shower, beer and snack in the AC all before boarding was announced. Wish I had more time, but my bike riding tour went 40 minutes longer than it should have.

A 30-day membership can be an even better deal if you are flying enough during a 30-day period.
Sorry for what's probably an easy question; however, can a 30 day Admirals Club membership get me into the JAL Sakura Lounge at NRT?

Certainly not; and already answered 8 posts up in this very thread.

Thanks for pointing out that post; however, I had already seen it. The poster had asked if an Admirals Club one-day pass could be used to get into the Sakura Lounge. However, I asked if a 30 day membership would work.

Does a 30 day Admirals Club membership get me into the Sakura Lounge?

No. otherwise it would be called a oneworld lounge membership.

Nope - an Admirals Club membership doesn't get you into a JAL lounge.

Okay; but, I can still access Qantas lounges with it, right? I guess *A works differently; I know that a United Club member can access a Lufthansa Business Lounge.

AA effectively has a reciprocal rights agreement with QF - as both are one of the few airlines around the world to offer paid lounge access programs, for many airlines it is elites only (BA in particular)

Access is clearly detailed on the AA page

Read the thread and just to be clear,
I'm flying JL65 Business class SAN-NRT arriving at 4:55pm on Award ticket (U). Can I access Sakura lounge in T2 after clearing customs? First time in Japan and some bubbles would be a nice way to start.

Only if you have an onward Oneworld flight the same day you arrive could you access the Sakura lounge prior to clearing customs and immigration. [in which case you probably wouldn't have much time landside to look around] Otherwise, no.

Thx for quick reply. Guess I'll have to wait for my return flight. I have a AC pass from a credit card offer. Will that work upon arrival?

You cannot even get to the AC to present your pass unless you have an onward flight. You can use it when you depart NRT, but not on arrival without a connection.

Thx again! Guess I'll make the most of business class and find a good bar near hotel.
