What is the earliest US bound flight from NRT in the morning?
My in-laws are currently in Cambodia and need to get back to Atlanta asap. They land at NRT at 6 am and want to get on the earliest flight back to the US and to ATL. The earliest Delta flights from NRT I saw were 3-5pm.. There is an ATL flight at 5:30 just hoping to get them in sooner. I looked at SEA, LAX, SFO, MSP, ORD, HNL...any other thoughts?

Focusing not on earliest departure from NRT, but earliest arrival at ATL, departing NRT on Friday, Jan. 6, the best I see DL-coded is NRT-PDX-ATL, arriving 9:31PM same day.

DL is down to 4 non-stop's from NRT to US mainland these days:
NRT-SEA 5:25PM daily
NRT-PDX 5:30PM 5x weekly (exc. Tue/Wed)
NRT-ATL 5:35PM daily
NRT-DTW 5:45PM daily
No more NRT-LAX/MSP/JFK/SFO (although LAX and MSP get HND service as mentioned above)
Quickest option looks to be AA176 or JL12 to DFW and then DL2155 to ATL with 12:49PM arrival.

If they don't have to be on DL, the best bet is JL/AA or NH/UA:
NRT - DFW - ATL leaves NRT at 1130am and gets back to ATL at 1:30pm and NRT - IAH - ATL leaves NRT at 10:50am and gets back to ATL at 1:18pm.
If there is anyway they can land at HND the following is showing to me as an option to:
HND - NGO (JL) - DTW - ATL - leaves HND at 805am and lands in Atlanta at 2:19pm.
NRT - DFW - ATL leaves NRT at 1130am and gets back to ATL at 1:30pm and NRT - IAH - ATL leaves NRT at 10:50am and gets back to ATL at 1:18pm.

Let us know what you find. A great search tool is google flights for future use.
No matter they do, it is going to be expensive.
