I'm planning the following itinerary (in business) for next July:

HEL-HND (JL48), HND-FUK (NH253), arriving HND at 08:55 and departing at 12:40.

Any concerns about this, or should it be quite straight forward?

Enjoy the lounge -- that's plenty of time!

Haneda star alliance lounges
 
Hello, I have a connecting ANA flight from Haneda terminal 3. Does anyone know if it is possible to move between terminals 2 and 3 while airside at Haneda airport? Asking because the ANA lounge in T2 is much quieter and less crowded. Thanks.

T2 only have 5 departures at the moment, so the opening hours are quite limited to match those. If I remember right the last one is around 1pm.

I don't know, but I would expect you to need a boarding pass for one of those 5 flights to go to T2.

I can't find to get info regardless, hoping for some help. Searched all over

I'm booked in F SFO-NRT and am looking, on a separate ticket, book NRT-ITM for the same day. I know I have lounge access, but what are the options connecting in NRT on a domestic ticket? Will I have access to a first class lounge?

Thanks!

In Japan, domestic gates and international gates at airports are segregated. You cannot access international lounges when flying domestic flights, you can only access domestic lounges when flying domestic flights.

If you are flying ANA, then you will have access to the ANA Arrival Lounge when flying domestic out of NRT. This lounge is located in pre-security.

If you are flying JAL, then you will have access to the domestic Sakura Lounge at NRT. This lounge is located in post-security.

Hi,

Which airline are you flying with from SFO to NRT and NRT to ITM?

Also , the domestic lounges are not as good as the Intl lounges in Japan ( ok for a sit down and a drink or light snack but not much more)

Regards

Only ANA and SQ has F on SFO NRT, JAL flies a 787-9 on the route.
Edit, slip of mind, even while typing SFO I was thinking of the LAX NRT flight from SQ.

In my research, it looks like the only ways between the terminals are completely landside OR there's a pre-immigration and pre-security bus for arrivals that are going between the terminals. So you couldn't really use it to go back and forth as you're thinking.

SQ doesn't fly SFO-NRT. I believe NH is currently the only F option on that route.

Indeed, was mixing it up with LAX.

So am arriving on 9/26 on JAL business at 4pm then departing 9/27 1020am on ANA business. So have a layover of about 16 hours or so. 9 have a torn ligament in my knee.so while I am mobile I am far from quick.

Questions I have:

1. If I want to just stay in the airport can I avail of an arrival lounge and then go to a capsule hotel?
2. If I want to venture into the city, is that enough time to find a hotel and walk around the city and get some sleep at a hotel?

Appreciate any help and advice.

Landing and departing from Haneda, sorry forgot to mention
