Can you get into ANA F class lounge if you fly UA F?
Is it worth it comparing to RCC F lounge?

I think so. NH F has a noodle bar and nice spread of food and beverage selections. UA IFL@NRT is bigger and also offers decent food and beverage choices. Sometimes it is a good idea to try something different. If you have not been to NH F lounge, I suggest you go there and judge it for yourself.

RCC NRT
Was in the RRC in NRT last week and I was very disappointed in what they had to offer in the way of amenities. Some little squares of bread with cheese, packaged salty snacks, some saltine crackers, banannas and apples. I thought perhaps I was at the Salvation Army not in the RCC. I would assume on my return through NRT I should go immediately to the ANA lounge.

This is as it has always been. You were actually fortunate to be there at a moment when there were bananas. Within minutes the bananas are usually gone. About 20 or 30 minutes later they bring out a few more. Some feel that the amazing beer machine compensates, but yes, get on over to the ANA for some sushi and/or noodles.

Who cares for bananas? This monkey loves the beer machine.

Was at the ANA lounge on Tuesday...the noodle bars in both lounges are closed for remodeling until the 16th. But they do have an awesome beer machine which I can only assume is the same as the RCC's.

Since I don't drink and besides the noodle bar being closed does the ANA lounge have some decent food to nibble on or should I go to the SQ lounge, suggestions please.

The beer machine in the UA RCC @ NRT is cool...just have to be careful to use a fresh glass otherwise you may get a lot of foam. This machine would be a nice addition to all the clubs!

It will be a sad day when JL leaves OW. Their F lounge is brilliant (and they serve much much more than just bananas, beer machines, bad food and boring sushi ). Whilst the AN J lounge is OK (in its dark solitude), I hope their F lounge is as good as JL's offering. Can't comment on the RCC.

When I'm in the NRT RCC about 12 times a year, I've virtually always just come off a C class flight with 2 meals, and the last thing I want to do is eat, so that's a non-issue. I've been to both ANA lounges and I still prefer the 'vibe' of the RCC. You'll find me at one of the pub tables near the shower entrance, drinking multiple beers from the machine alternated by trips to the nearest smoking lounge. Every time.

ANA Lounge is much better but it's quite a bit of a walk away. Would not recommend if you have a tight connection on a UA flight
