Japan Airlines Sakura Lounge at Tokyo Narita Airport | Wish I had more time here

[@phunnybear]

We had premium Econ on Japan airlines and realized at the gate before boarding that we had access to the Sakura lounge and I’m forever bitter lol

Sorry you missed this lounge...

[@jasonkyee]

Do you know if people can access this lounge on arrival or is only for departing passengers?

[@mytravelvlog-jc]

Only for departure. The lounge is in the international transit area.

@@mytravelvlog-jc I'm arriving in premium economy and departing in economy, do you think I would have access?

[@Anonymous551656]

​@@kokalti Did you make this trip yet and find out? I'm pretty sure under the fare rules the answer is no, unless your onwards economy flight is with JAL on a full fare flexibile economy ticket (booking class Y, aka "Flex Y") since that fare comes with lounge access anyway. You wouldn't get access based on your previous leg being premium economy. Sometimes people get lucky and reception staff allow access despite not technically being entitled to it - but the Japanese generally aren't known for making mistakes or being flexible with rules. FYI business class tickets connecting from an international flight to a domestic economy flight would have lounge access, but this benefit doesn't apply to Premium Economy or international Flex Y tickets. Those only have lounge access at the overseas departure airport.
