I have a JAL flight ticket from SGN to LHR via HND in one itinerary and anyone know if this is OK even the dates of the two flights are different? Total transit time is around 19hrs - I will arrive in HND on May 12 6am and depart to LHR on May 13 1am flight.

Personally, I would find an earlier flight out of Los Angeles. Even if it was a single ticket.

I'm guessing this means I'll be seeing a cancellation on my ticketed booking that includes JL 95?

EDIT: Looking into wacky options to try to save my JL F flight. Is it possible to transit from HND - KIX and then KIX - ICN, or would the transfers between the international and domestic areas of the terminals in HND and KIX be impossible if I'm not allowed to enter Japan?

Since HND KIX would be a domestic flight, it would only be allowed if you are eligible to enter Japan.

But note that eligible to enter Japan currently means citizen, resident, business trips visa arranged with a Japanese company, special circumstances, or being a student coming to study in Japan. While very relatable, I doubt saving a Japan Airlines first class redemption is a special enough circumstance for a visa.

I'm booking something similar for a backup to my upcoming Japan trip in June if Japan's not open. I snagged LAX-HND-GMP in F/J, in T3 out T1. Are we able to transfer HND T3 to T1 airside? On the way back I'm keeping my existing KIX-LAX, so I'm hoping to get a direct between GMP and KIX that doesn't pass through HND first.

HND GMP is definitely T3, if it starts operating again. As all Korea flights arrivals are limited to Narita and KIX, that probably needs to be lifted before you'd see a HND-GMP again.

Can one do an overnight in NRT without leaving the terminal on a transit?

It doesn't matter if it's on one ticket or two, it has to do with whether you're entering Japan or not. And an international-international transit in the same airport doesn't require you to enter Japan.

That said, NH will inspect your required documentation at LAX for DXB. So, if you are required a PCR and/or visa, or whatever, to enter Dubai, they will deny you boarding if you are missing it. For my LAX-NRT-BKK trip, they verified I had my PCR and Thailand pass for entering Thailand. I was also dumped directly in to the international terminal upon arrival, no document check or any other inspection.
