What’s the potential for a NRT to HND connection in November? About 4 hours is connection time.

That is really tricky to answer. As it will depend on whether Japan has opened more for visa free or easier visa access. After the election on the 10th of July, it is probably likely to become more clear.

Personally I think there would probably be an option for at least a transit visa by then, but there is no real knowing.

NH, JL , KE, OZ began flights between Haneda and Gimpo from today . Each airline will fly 2 x a week to start.

CPH-Flyer

I guess KE or OZ starts today?

The arrivals from Korea having to go to Narita or Kansai rule has not been changed in the posted rules yet. But I hope the airlines know what they are doing.... Need to see what time the first flight arrives/arrived.

　新型コロナウイルスの流行により運休が続いていた、羽田－ソウル（金浦）が6月29日に再開された。日本と韓国の2社ずつが週 2往復ずつ、計8往復を運航する。再開初日となった29日は、大韓航空（KAL/KE）とアシアナ航空（AAR/OZ）の韓国系2社の便が2年4カ月ぶりに羽田へ到着した。 ◆韓国系2社は水土運航 　2社とも水曜と土曜に運航する。大韓航空の運航スケジュールは、羽田行きKE707便がソウルを午前9時 に出発し、午前11時10分着。ソウル行きKE708便は午後0時25分に羽田を出発し、午後2時45分に 到着する。機材はボーイング737-900ER型機（2クラス173席：ビジネス8席、エコノミー165席）を投入する。 　アシアナの運航スケジュールは、羽田行きOZ1085便がソウルを午前8時40分に出発し、午前10時4 5分着。ソウル行きOZ1075便は午後0時5分に羽田を出発し、午後2時25分に到着する。機材はエアバ スA321型機を投入する。 　アシアナ航空のソウル発OZ1085便（A321、登録記号HL8039）は、定刻より1分早い午前10 時44分に羽田空港の114番駐機場に到着した。大韓航空のソウル発KE707便（737-900ER、HL8273）は、定刻より6分早い午前11時4分に113番駐機場に着いた。 　日系2社も順次再開し、日本航空（JAL/JL、9201）は翌30日から日曜と木曜に、全日本空輸（ANA/NH）は7月1日から月曜と金曜に運航する。 ◆大韓航空、予約3ケタ 　路線再開を受け、羽田空港で取材に応じた大韓航空 東日本支店の妹島（せじま）禎也支店長は、同路線を「日韓の往来の大動脈で旗艦路線」と表現し、「素直にう れしい」と喜びをあらわにした。 　再開初日となった29日は、往復とも50人程度が利用した。妹島支店長は「政府の認可受けてから1週間で 50人に予約いただいた」と利用客に感謝した。7月2日に運航する2便目も初便同様の予約状況だが、6日に 運航する3便目からは3ケタの予約が入り好調だという。 　再開後の機材は小型機の737を投入する。妹島支店長によると、メンテナンスの都合で737で運航してい るという。今後は大型化も計画し、8月ごろをめどに777の再投入も予定している。 　大韓航空は競合のアシアナ航空同様、水曜と土曜に運航する。妹島支店長は「各社が当局に申請したら同じ曜 日・同じ時間帯になった」と説明。「分散した方が利便性が高いが、各社で思惑がある」と述べた 。 　水曜発とした理由については、出張の開始日と関連しているという。妹島支店長はコロナ以前は出張開始日が 月曜だったとした上で、「現在はPCR検査を受けた後への出張に変化している。月曜に検査し火曜に陰性証明 取得後、水曜に出張する」パターンが多いとした。 ※妹島支店長の「禎」はしめすへんが「示」の旧字体

Hi All -

Have a NRT transit flight coming this weekend. I've read through the past posts and based on my understanding, the below shouldn't be a problem...however had a few questions for those that have actually transited on two different PNRS / two non-alliance carriers. Currently in Seoul looking to get back to the USA.

Leg #1: ICN to NRT on KE 703. Lands at 1:30 PM in Terminal 1. Carry on bags only.
Leg #2: NRT to IAD on NH 002. Same day departure at 4:30 PM in Terminal 1.

Questions:

• I understand that proof of continued travel is required at the initial desk counter check in (ICN). However, I am not sure if I will be able to get a (mobile) boarding pass from NH prior to my departure to show to agents at ICN. Does anyone know if NH provides (mobile) boarding passes for international japan flights prior to visiting a desk? Have people been able to use confirmed online check ins / flight itineraries as a means to provide proof of continued travel instead of a boarding pass?
• Once I land in NRT in Terminal 1, is there a NH desk that I can visit to collect a (mobile/physical) boarding pass / check in bags (if needed due to NH's own baggage policy)?

TIA!

Looking at some flights to Australia next year and was wondering if a 75 min transit time is enough. Both flights on ANA booked on a single reservation, INT to INT at HND

CPH-Flyer

Should be fine

CPH-Flyer

Haven't they been sending these with slight different wording depending on active rules forever?

For the transit thread here, the only adivse if getting this mail is ignore it, it only applies to people entering Japan.

vicmag76

Not sure if this the correct forum to ask this question but here goes. I am traveling LAX-HND and then HND-GMP on two separate tickets on JL with an overnight transit in HND. South Korea requires a COVID test either 1 or 2 days before departure date. Does anyone what day they would consider the departure date? Would it be the departure date for the first ticket or would they use the departure date for the HND-GMP since it is two separate tickets? I was not sure if the transit through Japan would reset the departure date.

Fun2fly

I was checking into transferring from HND to NRT (different airlines) for November and I read that as of today, there are no tourists allowed unless part of a package tour. I have an award ticket I am trying to book but thinking it is best to avoid Japan until the restrictions are lifted for all tourists. Anyone have input on this? I would be willing to do a package tour for a couple of days but not a full week since Japan is not my final destination in Asia.
