Same ticket? As in would ANA know to expect you coming in on the JAL flight?
Though transit passengers are taken off the plane first, there are times when there is a wait, as they have to wait for other flights to be cleared. Only one flight at a time.
(I assume you are not domestic to international)

Not the same ticket--but maybe there is a way to let ANA know to expect me?

Hi All,
My wife and I have upcoming flights this Feb for MNL-NRT-LAX and return JFK-HND-MNL, we had to book separate awards/tickets for each flight. I would like to get your opinions on our with separate tickets (different PNR, e-ticket number, booking reference) with the below scenario:
1) Both flights on ANA
- MNL/NRT on NH820
** Same day 2h layover
- NRT/LAX on NH6
2) Flights on different airlines
- JFK/HND on NH109
** Overnight 21h layover
- HND/MNL on PR421
From reading through this thread. it seems that for the outbound MNL-NRT-LAX, there should be no issues transiting NRT and through-checking baggage since both flights are on ANA.
My questions are mostly for the my inbound flights JFK-HND-MNL:
1) Since these will be on different airlines, do you think the check-in agent in JFK will have issues checking us in? What are my chances?
2) ANA and PAL have an interline agreement and I am hoping to have baggage checked-through. We are open to just having hand luggage if this helps with us not being denied boarding, would this make a difference?
3) For all the COVID travel requirements, will the check-in agent in JFK be the one to check for the correct documents for the final destination even if the connecting flight to the final destination MNL is on PAL?
4) We will be doing online check-in for the HND-MNL flight, will we be able to get boarding passes airside in HND, maybe in a transit counter?
5) On the off change the HND-MNL flight is cancelled, we would end up staying more than 24 hours in HND in transit to re-book to the next flight. What happens now?
Thanks in advance for taking the time to answer.

I am looking to book SYD-HND-LHR for April on JL. The flight arrives into HND at 17:05 and onward at 11:20 the next day. From what I have looked into, it seems that it is permitted as long as staying airside
Was going to book the airside hotel for 12 hours to sleep
Is my understanding correct or is there a reason why there would be a problem

Ohh. I didn't realise that the hotel was closed; the hotel's website didn't seem to indicate this when I checked - thanks for the information

The hotel does state that on the homepage, there is also a landside operation to the hotel that is still open, which is what usually cause the confusion.

Hello.
I currently have a long 20hr layover in HND. What would happen if the onward flight is cancelled while I am in HND (airside) already, and the next available flight is more than the 24 hour transit limit?
Does it still matter since I am already in HND? ... Besides the additional long wait of course.

If the borders open enough to allow you to do that, the transit hotel would probably also have reopened.

Hello.
Has anyone had problems with separate tickets (different PNR, e-ticket number, booking reference) with the below scenario:
1) Both flights on ANA
- MNL/NRT on NH
- NRT/LAX on NH
2) Flights on different airlines
- JFK/HND on NH
- HND/MNL on PR
WIth all the COVID travel requirements, will the check-in agent in MNL (for scenario 1) and in JFK (for scenario 2) check for the correct documents for the final destination?
How about boarding passes specially for scenario 2 having different airlines?
Thanks in advance for taking the time to answer.

ANA and PAL have an interline agreement so supposed to be they will check-thru luggage. But this still largely depends on the check-in agent in JFK correct? You think it helps that we are in First for the JFK-HND leg? Maybe a nicer more accomodating agent?
