Showers in NRT?
 
I know the NRT RCC has rockin showers -- just wondering if it's the only one or if the ANA Club lounge has these facilities as well.

Also, flying ANA C with two family members (I'm the only *G), can we get into the RCC? I have a paid RCC membership, so I should be good regardless, yes?

Both ANA lounges have showers and they are fine.^

Plus you can chill with some noodles and sake after and really unwind. :cool:

Not sure about getting 2 guests in, so I'll let someone else tackle that.

FWIW, the last 2 times I tried to use the NRT ANA *G lounge while flying on a UA boarding pass, the attendants reminded me that there was a RCC for UA flyers.
I thanked them and said I prefer the ANA lounge, so they bowed and said OK and let me in. :)

The *A Business Class BPs will get them in the RCC and NH lounges so you should be fine.

Your *G status lets you bring in one guest (if they are traveling on a *A flight).

Your RCC membership lets you bring in one guest to international RCCs.

^ what he said.

FWIW, the ANA showrs are nice but I recall the RCC ones having some crazee water pressure. And the toiletries are better(if that's your thing). I have read in another post though, that they stopped giving out those H2O kits and instead pass out stuff individually.

I recall ANA showers having one-use only Shiseido stuff, kinda like marketing samples you get in the mail or paper every now and then...

Apparently they have resumed giving out the H2O kits (I was there last Wed).

NICE! :D
I hope it's there come Sep. I rather like that clear pouch. TSA seems to approve as well.

There are also showers (and day rooms for a nice slumber) for those without status:

I was in NRT a week or so ago and the wait for the RCC showers was 45 minutes. I went over to the ANA (admitted without comment, except to tell me that they don't announce UA departures) and there was no line at all. The ANA rooms do have those high tech toilets for that extra fresh feeling.

Yeah, the RCC showers might have better water pressure, but the ANA experience is much, much better. The showers are totally great there. There's food. There's Japanese customer service, as opposed to more UA attitude.

The only reason I can think of to use the RCC is to make itin adjustments or if it's next to your gate.

Last time I went into the ANA lounge, they just reminded me that I have to watch the clock, as they don't announce UA flights.
