Save your flights and LYVR finds the connection at NRT on its own, then times every part of it.
Every minute, accounted for.
Deplaning, every walk on the indoor map, the checkpoints your connection passes and when the doors close. What's left is yours to plan.
Lounges you can actually get into.
Add your cards and memberships once. Every lounge at NRT shows whether you're in.
Directions that know which floor you're on.
Around walls, up escalators, onto the train between terminals and through security on the way.
Time to see Tokyo?
Getting out, the ride each way, security on the way back and a cushion, checked against your passport. Then a day, planned.
Layover questions
NRT, answered.
Can I check the security wait time at NRT?
LYVR doesn't have a security wait feed for NRT yet. It still times your walk between gates and through the terminal, so you can see how much of the layover is really free.
Which lounges at NRT can I use on a layover?
LYVR lists 12 lounges at NRT, 5 of them on Priority Pass. Which ones you can get into depends on your ticket, airline status, credit card or a lounge membership. Each lounge on this page lists what gets you in, and LYVR checks it against your own profile.
Does airline status get me into a lounge at NRT?
Yes, at 1 lounge: United Lounges (United Airlines Premier Gold and up (international flights), Star Alliance Gold). Status entry needs a same-day departing flight on that airline or its alliance, and some tiers only count on international flights.
How much time do I need for a layover at NRT?
It depends on your terminals, whether you re-clear security or customs, and how far the gates are apart. LYVR adds up deplaning, every walk on the indoor map, any checkpoints your connection passes and the boarding door time, then shows exactly how much time you have to spare.
Is a 1 hour layover enough at NRT?
For a connection on one ticket, airlines won't sell you less than NRT's minimum connection time, and they rebook you if a delay makes you miss it. An international transfer with security screening is still more comfortable with 1.5 to 2 hours, and separate tickets need 3 or more. LYVR works out your exact time to spare for your own two gates.
What is there to do on a layover at NRT?
With an hour or two, eat near your gate and walk the terminal. With more, NRT's 12 lounges (5 on Priority Pass) have quiet seats, food and often showers, and there are restaurants and sleep suites you can use with Priority Pass. LYVR's Explore tab lists every restaurant, bar and shop near your gate with the walk time, so you only see what fits in your layover.
Can I leave the airport on a layover at NRT?
On a domestic connection, yes, with enough time. On an international one, only if you're allowed to enter Japan, since leaving NRT means going through immigration, and you'd want about 6 hours: the passport line both ways, the trip into Tokyo and back, and security on the way in. LYVR checks the ride each way, the time you'd have in the city and your passport's entry rule.
