I have been through the HND Fast Track queue this year as BA Gold flying JL J, QR Plat flying JL J and QR Gold flying QR J - technically this thread implies I shouldn't have been let through in any of these situations, but was without questions in each case. Not sure what to read into that!

Indeed! It’s a bit of a strange rule. Any idea whether a BA Gold flying a BA-coded but JL-operated flight qualifies?

I've flown out of HND in Premium Eco and Business. QF Platinum. On JL, CX and QF.

There is a board with airlines and classes/status listed at the HND I main checkpoint. Unless it's changed in the last year, some airlines (eg QF) aren't listed, yet I've never had a problem using that line.

Flying JAL J again out of HND. Figured I'd fake my way through Fast Track with a non-One World card only to find that Fast Track is closed after 23:30. Probably 200 people in line at the North outbound immigration area. Walked to immigration at the other end. Only 2 people in line. Weird.

While Haneda is in an excellent location for central Tokyo, the facilities in the international terminal have not really expanded in line with the operations. And security is one of the areas that could do with an expansion, though probably not very easy to do.

I got taken to the crew line by TG today. Only problem was there were about 20 crew members standing in line.... but actually no problem, the agent just grabbed me, pushed past everyone and cut into the front of the line. How embarrassing.

More weirdness. Checked in for J class flight on JAL a little after mid-night. JAL check in agent walked me through the crew lane. I have no idea how this works.

No. It was over an hour before departure. And... zero status with AA or any one world carriers. The only thing I can think is that I had a bunch of JAL F left over boarding passes in my passport and the agent exercised independent judgment (seems unlikely as it is not very JAL-like.)
