In my opinion, with the rules and assumptions you specify, I think you will make it from plane to train with plenty of time to spare.
Late night arrival in Narita on a Sunday I arrive into Narita Terminal 1 at 9:10pm next Sunday, 1st July. I need to check in to my hotel (Hotel Gracery Shinjuku) before midnight .

How does one make friends alone in Paris? I am going to be living alone in Paris for 6 months for an internship.

Why does Google Flights show train stations? When I enter a city name, Google Flights often suggests train stations. For example, I mostly see central stations ( hauptbahnhof s) for German cities. None of the combinations I have tried so far return results, even if I choose train stations for both departure and arriva...	Plus the train stations are often in better positions; if you go to Köln-Wahn airport there is probably a long taxi ride to the city center, while Köln-Hauptbahnhof is right smack in the center of the town, and you can probably walk to your Hotel.
How to deal with other tourists taking pictures of my children? Recently, my family and I (two parents, two daughters below 3) were in Spain. We had a great time in Barcelona and then in Andalusia. However, I found myself several times annoyed by other tourists taking pictures of my children, in different ways: Very ...	You may get angry and yell at some clueless foreigner who doesn't even speak English or Spanish and scare them away, you may hire a lawyer and make a living hell for a random childless lady/guy from the the other side of the globe who just thought your kids were cute and who has no money to defend themselves in a legal...

USA visa run on a tourist visa I have a 5-year US visa that gives me 6 months each visit. I am thinking of doing my dental treatment (braces) here in The US. But the problem is, it takes 18 months. Can I do visa runs like to Europe or to Cuba and go back to the USA? Like 3 weeks to The Netherlands and go back to the US...	No, you can not do this.

The Greenwich meridian line can also be seen in Cleethorpes, Lincolnshire represented by a stainless steel line cutting through a coastal footpath along with a granite globe and sign post.
Why no cider in Bavaria? I just came back from a week in Bavaria, Germany and I was rather surprised to find there was no cider anywhere. I stayed in Rothenburg and Nurenberg and everywhere I went — supermarkets, restaurants, bars, etc — there was no cider. Plenty of beer, spirits and soft drinks, but not a single cide...	Cider is generally not a typical drink in Bavaria (there might be exceptions closeby to Frankfurt and/or Lake Constance). I guess you have been looking in the wrong places, and possibly for the wrong words on the label.
How to move children in a Las Vegas casino? I visited Las Vegas a few times, as an adult. I will be staying a day or two in the city with my underage children and would like to show them casinos (which they know from movies).

Is there a place to store luggage at Kings Cross St Pancras? We will be leaving London around 9.30am to visit Paris for an overnight trip and will have two medium sized suitcases, plus our backpacks.

Can I visit the USA with ESTA as a Swede born in Iraq? I’ve lived in Sweden since I was 2 years old, I'm 28 today. I only have Swedish citizenship but I was born in Iraq. I never had an Iraqi passport or documents and have never been there since I was a small child. When I asked my parents, they told me that, althoug...	If your parents were Iraqi at your birth then you would have been Iraqi at birth if so registered. I conclude you can seek a waiver of the ESTA eligibility restriction from the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (and if successful, apply for ESTA), or you must apply for a visa.
Connecting in Amsterdam with different airlines We are flying from Brussels to Amsterdam on one airline and then flying out to Iceland on a different airline. We will have checked bags.

Can you fill the printed customs form to save time in Canadian airports? At least in Vancouver Airport one has to spend a lot of time to get to the electronic customs declaration kiosks. This got me thinking - is it possible to fill out the paper based customs declaration (form E311) instead (saved up from a previous o...	The electronic machines are a lot faster as there's no need for a human to read and check every form. Probably the best thing to do would be to have your pre-filled hand-written form in your hand and show it to the staff standing next to the queues and kiosks.

What happens to visas that last longer than a passport? I'm about to get a visa that will outlast my passport by roughly three or four months.

Many countries allow you to use a valid visa in an expired passport, as long as you present a valid passport along with it and all the other details (usually including your name) have not changed:
Main destination of Schengen visa I know that the Schengen visa's main destination is the place where I must spend most of my days in Schengen countries.

Regarding attire, I say dress up or down, however you wish, there is no rule per se, be comfortable and dress in what makes you feel confident.

While I haven't been able to verify your info about the validity of the passport, I don't think you have to worry.
Travelling around Europe on my way to the US. Where to store luggage? I am going to start my graduate studies in the US this September. I am planning on visiting Europe on my way from India.

What are typical Canadian meal times? I'm preparing a trip to British Columbia (Kootenays area) in early August, and since I like to organise my days in detail (all the way from getting up to going to bed) in order to get the most out of my time, I'd like to have a heads-up on general routines so as not to go against t...

Compensation for missed connection due to delay with same airline but separate bookings Long story short, I had to fly from A (in Spain) to C (in the UK) and I booked two separate flights with the same budget airline, so the actual route was A (Spain) -> B (UK) -> C (UK).

My seatmate needs to get up every 15 mins. What ought the cabin crew do? For an Air Canada ("AC") flight, my grandma booked the aisle seat in a column with 2-seat configuration in Economy class. Her only seatmate kept getting up every 15 mins. This is too inconvenient for my grandma, who was hoping to nap. So she tried...	I think that your best bet, if you ever got yourself in a situation like this again, would be to ask the crew, if you could be re-seated, if the flight is not fully booked.
As of 2018, does Ryanair deny boarding to non-EU passengers who skip the landside visa check? Ryanair is notorious for requiring that all non-EU passengers go through a visa check at a landside check-in desk before their flight. However, do they actually deny boarding to passengers who ignore the visa check and proce...	They call non-EU passport holders who didn't get visa check to the gate agent before boarding, and scan your passport there. I suspect it varies from airport to airport and maybe even from flight to flight.
In a restaurant in Italy, should I be seated when my food arrives? I sat at the table, ordered the pizza. While it was being prepared, I decided to go to the bathroom for a short visit.

I was surprised to discover that a long sleeved "technical" shirt with a high Sun Protection Factor (SPF) kept me much cooler (and reduced the amount of water I needed to drink while cycling) than a cotton T shirt. Carry something warm with you, like a wrap, a front-zip hoodie (make sure its not heavy), or a windbreake...
In practice, what is the distinction between ESTA and visas? It is often claimed that ESTA is not a visa - both by the US government and the travelers themselves. However in practice, I find it difficult to see the distinction between ESTA and e-visas: It costs money, while a true visa-free system is, well, free Y...

Stay longer in the US than what I told CBP I'm Japanese, visiting my boyfriend in the US for the first time, staying with his family for about 40 days. We've been dating for a couple of years, but this is the first time I'm going to America. He's always been the one to visit me, because I was a student and did not have...	Therefore you have nothing to worry about — just tell the truth about 40 days, and stay up to whatever limit the CBP officer set (whether it is more, or even if it is less, though that is rather unlikely) if things go better than planned :)
Business travel to the USA with demonstration items I will be travelling to the USA and bringing a few items with me for demonstration purposes.

My bank account has salary from my employer about a week back so just to reiterate, the documents seem perfect if I state that I'm still employed.
