During my trip to Japan via Mongolia, I had the chance to check out a few lounges at Tokyo Haneda Airport Terminal 3, prior to my Japan Airlines A350 first class flight to New York. My first stop was the TIAT Lounge Haneda, which is the only Priority Pass lounge in Terminal 3.

"Honestly, this lounge is only worth visiting if you have no other lounge options."
I'm not sure it's worth it even then. During "non Ben photography" hours it's jammed, often with a long line waiting outside, and the food isn't worth looking at.
Its only real upside is the view, if you're lucky enough to get a front row seat.
On EVA Air website, it says that their passengers may use ANA Lounge at HND. I, too have no idea - it could have been because the gates they mainly use is far from the ANA Lounge (just like how SQ uses or used JAL Sakura Lounge at KIX), but this lounge and main ANA Lounge is close to each other. I guess there's been a mistake?
My wife, son, and I visited the Haneda TIAT lounge earlier this month. I agree that the lounge is small and the food selection is underwhelming (save the free beer). However, our gate was an odious bus gate on the ground level with all the comforts of a bus station. The TIAT lounge, by comparison, was a better option for us until boarding time.
In my opinion, it's much better to stay landside as long as possible. Much better food and beverage options, and the observation deck never disappoints. Airside is quite boring.
I wondered the same thing. Could there be some EVA flights at a time when the ANA lounge is closed? This one is open 24 hours.
Agree - this is a terrible lounge. Definitely not worth queueing for. You're better off enjoying the great food options outside even though you have to pay a little. Even the ANA lounge during peak hours is a zoo. I learned my lesson and now don't try too hard to get into a lounge anywhere if super crowded.
I just visited this lounge this morning coming back to the US. The seats were dirty also carpets stained. The lounge felt dirty.
Is the SKY lounge any better ? From the sign, it looks like accessible with American Express cards.
This is why I book business and first class with JAL with miles when I can. Their lounges at Haneda terminal 3 are wayyy nicer.
I spent two hours in that lounge three nights ago. Worst lounge I've eve been in. Carpets were stained and the food was terrible. The only good thing was the free ice cream packets.
To be fair, while cleaner, the food at JL Sakura biz lounge is similar. Chicken fingers & pretzels at the buffet, along with a very limited (snacks) ala carte via QR code. There's only one "good" lounge in HND & you need to be flying first or OW Emerald.
This lounge is the worst I’ve ever been. Fried chicken and noodles, a cake/biscuit that tastes like a brick and absolutely filthy. Seriously, it’s 7am!!!!!
Some updates to this article (according to the Priority Pass website):
- Effective April 26, 2024, the TAIT lounge only accepts Priority Pass members from 1 AM to 5 AM!
- Sky Lounge South (Not to be confused with the Sky Lounge next to the Tait Lounge) is open 24 hours a day. In fact, according to the Haneda websie, it is reserved exclusively for Priority Pass members. It has a capacity of 73 seats.
Correct - you should remove the TIAT article as no one really can access that lounge except for the time which South sky lounge is closed which is 1am to 5am.
They are switching all priority pass access to ONLY sky south lounge - which I’m at right now. (10/28/2024)
Don’t bother with the Tiat Lounge. I had such a great time in Japan and this lounge was a big disappointment. Not a good selection of food or drink options, and not good value. Maybe if you need a shower? I don’t recommend it.
