Narita one world lounge

[flyingmachine]

What's the best lounge at Narita airport? I'm flying business with JAL with QF gold. Was recently at the Sakura lounge at HND and that was pretty ordinary.

Probably not recovered from the pandemic yet as it is only ~ 6 months that Japan has been letting independent tourists in. Precovid the Sakura lounges were ordinary. The JL First class lounges at both NRT and HND were excellent. Sadly you have to be OWE or flying F to get into those so after our September trip we will be downgraded to the Sakura lounges.

Sakura lounge at Haneda was very busy with 30+ people queued up for showers. And food still needed to be ordered via a QR code system and took a long time.

As OW sapphire can we use the Cathay lounge at NRT?

Yes. Check that link. It even tells you about eligibility.

JAL First Lounge at HND is very nice.

JAL First is the best but no bueno for golds unfortunately.
Sakura was (as you described the HND one) a zoo as well unfortunately.

If CX is open that hands down.

I ended up going to the Cathay lounge after checking out the JAL Sakura lounge - CX was very quiet and I think better food

JAL Sakura lounge was always like this- even pre-covid.
It is operating as normal now. Just a draught beer and some peanuts.
