Can I make a 45 minutes connection at HND on an international flight?
45 minutes is below the 90-minute international MCT at Tokyo International. You may need to rush and could miss your connection. Terminals 1 and 2 are linked by a short indoor walkway (5-8 minutes), while Terminal 3 is connected to both via a free shuttle bus that takes about 10-15 minutes depending on traffic, or via the Tokyo Monorail/Keikyu line one stop away. International arrivals must clear immigration and customs in Terminal 3 before any onward domestic connection, effectively re-entering the sterile zone.
What happens if I miss my connection at HND?
If you misconnect, JAL or ANA transfer desks in the domestic terminals and airline service counters in Terminal 3 can rebook you on the next available flight; given the curfew, options after 11pm may require an overnight wait or hotel voucher from the airline.
