CTS
Mixing CTS (New Chitose) with OKD (Okadama)Assuming Priority Pass works airside after international immigrationCafé Sky Library’s 18:00 lounge-card last entry — earlier than café close
CTS · Hokkaido’s showpiece gateway: JR under the Domestic Terminal, a landside food-and-souvenir mall that outshines most airside options, and Priority Pass limited to landside Café Sky Library with an 18:00 last entry — brilliant for tourism, thinner for late international elites.
HKD · Southern Hokkaido gateway with **ANA / JAL / Air Do Tokyo–Haneda** plus regional and seasonal international framing — **Business Lounge A Spring** on Domestic 2F (**¥1,050**; many JP gold cards free); **no Priority Pass**.

Domestic can be tight; international still wants a full buffer
Domestic ~75–90 minutes when quiet; international ~2–2.5 hours; tourist attractions are additive.
CTS ≠ OKD — and Domestic JR is not beside International check-in
New Chitose is CTS; Okadama is OKD. PP Café Sky Library is international landside, not a domestic airside lounge.
Ramen Dojo and Royce’ before security beat most airside grabs
Landside ramen / Royce’ / konbini first; airside is backup; onsen is paid leisure.
