Last Minute Things to Do before Boarding
If you have not confirmed transportation or
accommodations at your destination, it is a good idea
to organize them while waiting before departure.
If you are trying to contact friends and acquaintances
you plan to meet there, you should check them before
departure.
Arrive at the Boarding Gate 30 Minutes before Departure.
Sudden changes in boarding times or boarding gates are possible. To avoid missing your departure flight, be sure to wait in front of the boarding gate as early as possible. If you have time before boarding time, check your hand luggage again and the travel schedule in Japan. It may also be a good idea to check transportation options online for what you will take from the airport upon arrival in Japan.
