Throughout my journey to Japan through Mongolia, I had the possibility to take a look at just a few lounges at Tokyo Haneda Airport Terminal 3, previous to my Japan Airways A350 firstclass flight to New York. My first cease was the TIAT Lounge Haneda, which is the one Precedence Move lounge in Terminal 3.
Actually, this lounge is just value visiting you probably have no different lounge choices. The advantages of this lounge are that it’s open 24/7 (in contrast to all different lounges within the terminal) and that you simply’re in Japan (that means all the pieces is clear, and everyone seems to be well mannered)… however not a lot else
TIAT Lounge Tokyo Haneda location
The TIAT Lounge Haneda Airport is situated in Terminal 3, which is the airport’s largest worldwide terminal. To entry the lounge, you’ll first must clear safety and immigration. When you’re by there, you principally can’t miss the lounge. Simply take the escalator instantly behind the checkpoint to degree 4, and the doorway to the lounge is true there.
You’ll discover that simply outdoors the lounge, there’s a effectively organized queuing system, for conditions the place the lounge is at capability. Sadly that’s a actuality of Precedence Move lounges these days…

TIAT Lounge Tokyo Haneda seating & format
The TIAT Lounge Haneda Airport isn’t very huge, and has fairly a boring and uninspiring design. The primary seating space of the lounge consists of only one huge room, although it’s not completely rectangular. As a substitute the lounge is nearly within the form of a half hexagon, or one thing.
All of the seating within the lounge faces the home windows, and it contains a wide range of particular person chairs.
The beneath photos principally present you all of the seating within the lounge, going from the very proper to the very left (when going through the home windows).
As an aviation geek, I recognize how the lounge has apron views all through, and there’s no scarcity of aircraft recognizing on the airport.
The one different components of the lounge are a small smoking room off to the aspect…
…in addition to a baggage storage space.
TIAT Lounge Tokyo Haneda meals & drinks
The TIAT Lounge Haneda Airport has a self-serve buffet situated inside the doorway to the lounge and to the left, and it’s fairly unhappy.
The meals choice was comprised of edamame, fried rooster, grilled rice balls, potato chips, gentle pretzel canines, scones, immediate noodles, fried noodles, and ice cream.
The drink choice included a soda machine, a juice machine, a espresso machine, a choice of tea, a beer machine, and a water dispenser. The entire choice looks like what you would possibly discover in a comfort retailer, fairly than a lounge.
Then there was additionally a choice of liquor, plus one white wine, one pink wine, and one sake, and that was in all probability essentially the most spectacular a part of what was on provide.
This lounge undoubtedly doesn’t impress within the contemporary meals division.
TIAT Lounge Tokyo Haneda loos & showers
The TIAT Lounge Haneda Airport loos are situated off a hall within the again left of the lounge.
The lads’s room had three sinks, two stalls, and three urinals, and was spotless.

The bathe suites every comprise a sink, a bathroom, and a walk-in bathe, however aren’t in any other case significantly luxurious. Toiletries are in reusable containers.
Backside line
The TIAT Lounge Haneda Airport is the one Precedence Move lounge in Terminal 3. The lounge is open 24/7, has good views of the apron, is clear, and has showers. Nonetheless, that’s concerning the extent of what’s good about this lounge. The design is fairly drab, the foods and drinks choice is lackluster, and there’s not a lot in the best way of facilities.
If that is the one lounge you’ve got entry to, completely use it, as a result of it’s higher than being within the terminal. However this doesn’t evaluate to any of the higher lounges within the terminal, together with the Cathay Pacific Lounge and Japan Airways First Lounge, which I visited subsequently.
