Have you actually been to NH suite lounge yourself ? I assume not.

Global First Lounge or ANA Suite Lounge in Narita?
Hello flyer talk friends- I'm flying United Global First UA#837 (though seats now say Polaris First) from SFO to Narita on March 20th,layover in Narita, then flying ANA Business class to Singapore...
Can I use the ANA Suite Lounge once in Narita, or am I stuck to only using the Global First lounge?
Which lounge do you most recommend? My connecting flight is ANA #801 to Singapore.
Many thanks for your feedback and help.

Without an NH F departure, you can't access the NH Suites lounge. The UA F arrival will get you into the UA GFL though.

I'm traveling NRT-ORD on UA F. Arrival into NRT is same day on TG C.
Are you saying that the NH F lounge is limited to NH pax only? Like LH F terminal?
Isnt it also available to *A F pax from UA?
Thanks, Dave

No, OP's question is about an arrival in UA F at NRT. The response correctly indicated that only those passengers departing from NRT in *A F can use the NH F lounge. Since that's precisely what you'll be doing, you'll be fine.

Yes, you can use the ANA suites lounge as long as you are departing in *A F. It is somewhat nicer than UA's F lounge in my opinion, though they are not that different.

Nope. Previous posters have it right, but just to clarify the generally applicable rule, *A lounge access, is always based on the departing flight. So an arrival in F with a departure in J won't get you *A F lounge access. Carriers typically make exceptions for pax on their own metal. So, for example, a UA F arrival will give you access to the UA GFL. Same is true with most *A carriers.

Thanks, great timing, I'm doing this exact thing today (UA837 first class to NRT) and then business NH onward flight (except to HKG instead of SIN). Will let you know how it goes.

You aren't missing much if you don't end up getting into the NH Suites lounge. Apart from the Hibiki 17 (at least last time I was there), it's nothing special.

This was two years ago though, so perhaps things have improved.

I have an 8-hour ANA to UA connection coming up (8:00 AM to 4:00 PM). What is the sleeping cubicle setup at the ANA lounge(s)? I'm more than willing to pay $30 bucks for a nap room in the terminal, but is that needed if ANA has some spots of their own?

With 8 hrs to kill you really need to stow your bags somewhere and go outside - plenty of time to go into Tokyo via NEX or just locally around Narita.

Will be interesting to see if there's anything Polaris about #837 or is it just global first renamed for now

I used the UA F lounge at Narita. It hasn't changed at all. The UA lounge has the advantage of being almost empty, and has big windows overlooking runway 16R/34L.
