JAL and ANA among carriers to start requiring earlier baggage check-in very soon. The convenience of using Haneda Airport isn’t just its close proximity to downtown Tokyo, it’s also how easy the station is to access by train. Under the new policy, JAL, ANA, Air Do, StarFlyer, Solaseed Air, and Japan Transocean Air will be moving back their baggage check-in deadline by an additional 10 minutes, with the new deadline being 30 minutes before the flight’s departure time. In addition to the six airlines mentioned above, Skymark says that while it is currently sticking with its baggage check-in cutoff of 20 minutes before departure, it will be monitoring the situation and moving up the deadline if it becomes necessary to do so.
