Do you have any advice with connecting flight in Narita?

It is a long hike to the United gate, and you need to clear security scanning along the way.

No you will not be going through immigration. When you land in Japan you will deplane and you will follow your fellow passengers and you will go through security. Once through security you are returned back to your plane for boarding. You will be on the same plane but it has now been cleaned. For them to do a complete cleaning of the airplane you will take everything with you. Once back on the plane your flight will resume to your next destination.

I am probably entirely wrong with this response but I doubt that the Manila - Tokyo plane will be the same plane flying trans-Pacific. I've ALWAYS had to change concourses and certainly gates for each leg but those have always been JAL / AA combos. Took me / us about to get from the arrival gate to the departure gate.

You will never go through Japan immigration since you are only a transiting passenger and not staying in the country. You will however be subject to re-security scanning. Suggest not taking a lot / heavy carry on for convenience.

Your right you could change planes depending on your airlines. I forgot the Manila - Tokyo leg is flown by another airlines.

Any whooooo, you will not be going through immigration till you reach your POE to the US.

There will be a change of aircraft in Tokyo, last time we flew back from the Phils (United/ANA), we flew a 767 from Manila to Tokyo, then flew the new 787 Dreamliner to Denver, they also use the 747 and 777 for this flight

Will 2 hr layover enough to transfer?

[cristina16 81]

That is more than enough, I was able walk around and shop for Mochi during my 1 hr 45 mins lay-over in Narita.

Have a safe travel.

[Brassballs 47]

Have a credit card. Easier than buying Yen for a 2 hr stay, haha.

[cristina16 81]

I used US$ they accept it on the shops, they will give you dollars in change too.

Thanks Cristina! Good thing I can use US$ there ?

@Brassballs I think I only need few dollars. Just want to try Ramen at the airport. ☺

Yes, that is about what we had, and I walk slow.

[cristina16 81]

Yup, Narita is small. You can walk around in less than an hour. And they don't have Starbucks!
