Beijing to Boston, layover in Japan. Arrive in Haneda and leave from Narita. How about my check-in luggage?
I may need to layover in Japan for my trip from Beijing to Boston. Also I need to change airports from Haneda airport to Narita airport. The layover is about 5 hours 15 minutes. Do I need to take care of my check-in luggage?
Usually we don't need to handle the check-in luggage for stopovers. How about this one? They are in different airports! If you have experience in person, please share with us.
No visa will be needed for this transit as I read from other posts, right?
Thanks,
EDIT:
One trip, one ticket. I am Chinese with a US green card.
Best Answer
- Visa absolutely needed.
- I don't think they will transport your luggage to NRT, so you'll have to take it and go through customs with it. But ask JAL by giving them a call.
- The most convenient option is probably just cancel this flight (if you can) and book one that doesn't require an inter-airport transfer :-)
