NWA: MSP-NRT-SIN
On their website, NW suggests an itinerary MSP-Tokyo-SIN. The first
segment arrives NRT 4:40 pm, leaves at 5:45 pm, that is, 1 hr 5 min. Is this really sufficient time? Likewise for the return, in Tokyo, they show arrival 1:45 pm departure 3:00 pm, or 1 hr 15 min. Same question. An alternate route is NRT-PDX-MSP. Time between flights is 1 hr 50 min in Portland. Is this enough time to clear custom and make connection? Thanks! |

Sure, do you plan to visa Japan during that time, or just walk to your connection? Likewise for the return, in Tokyo, they show arrival 1:45 pm departure 3:00 pm, or 1 hr 15 min. Same question. Same answer. An alternate route is NRT-PDX-MSP. Time between flights is 1 hr 50 min in Portland. Is this enough time to clear custom and make connection? PDX... no problem, but, unlike NRT, you will be clearing immigration and going back through TSA screening. |

"P T" wrote in message ... On their website, NW suggests an itinerary MSP-Tokyo-SIN. The first segment arrives NRT 4:40 pm, leaves at 5:45 pm, that is, 1 hr 5 min. Is this really sufficient time? Yes. transit through NRT is usually pretty quick. A lot of the NRT-SIN passengers will be from the MSP flight so NW will leave enough time for you to transfer, even if that means delaying the NRT-SIN flight a little bit. Likewise for the return, in Tokyo, they show arrival 1:45 pm departure 3:00 pm, or 1 hr 15 min. Same question. Yes. No problem. NRT transit security is not very strict (such as you can leave your shoes on and leave your laptop in the bag). An alternate route is NRT-PDX-MSP. Time between flights is 1 hr 50 min in Portland. Is this enough time to clear custom and make connection? Yes. PDX only has a few international flights per day so that will be plenty of time. Thanks! |

NW tends to hold the plane a little. Also NRT security will call for passengers on a soon departing plane to enter a "short" line as necessary. This is so consistent that I often tell worried passengers in line behind me to just wait a minute and they will get called out. Transiting Narita is quick and efficient so do not worry. Just don't plan to shop between NWA connections. If you end up with 15-20 spare minutes to do so count yourself lucky. Fortunately NRT now allows liquids purchased inside security to be taken on US bound flights so thats usually my main stop to the gate. Yes. No problem. NRT transit security is not very strict (such as you can leave your shoes on and leave your laptop in the bag). Not true anymore on the laptop front. I have had to take mine (both) out on the last few trips I made through. |
