Enough transfer time in NRT?
SOOO... i got booked on JAL 954 (icn-nrt) arrives 4:15 and then continuing on with delta/NW 3508 (nrt-dtw) departs at departs at 6:50 .. Does anyone know if i will have to clear customs and if there is enough time to make this connection? Also, if i go to delta.com i can pull up both legs... yet im wondering if i will have to check into my dl/nw flight in nrt or if i can just check in at icn and go. Does anyone have experience with a transfer like this?
Thanks!!!
Thanks!!!

PLENTY of time. You will not have to go through customs. Once you get off the JAL flight just follow the signs to connections and then to the NW transfer counter to get your boarding pass for your flight to dtw. You won't be able to get your boarding pass in ICN.
If you have any baggage you should be able to get it tagged at ICN all the way through to your final destination. Just give JAL your confirmation for the NW flight. Make sure you mention your bags when you get your boarding pass for NW at NRT as well.

But If you check your bag... 20min delay in your arrival means you will get your bag later... but OZ has flights frequently between NRT and ICN..

You have to do a terminal change. JAL is at T2 and NW is at T1. You will have to take a terminal bus to go to T1 and according to this thread on JAL forum, it could take up to 30 min to wait for the bus. Just make sure you get to the shuttle bus boarding area as early as possible.
