NGO · Compact bay-island hub with excellent Meitetsu access, a landside Sky Town food deck, and two solid Priority Pass international lounges — still a single-runway operation until the second strip opens, and easy to confuse with Komaki (NKM).
ITM · Osaka’s close-in domestic airport, about 11 km north of Osaka Station. One renovated terminal splits ANA to the south and JAL to the north, with a monorail and limousine buses into the city. The hard stop is 21:00, and scheduled passenger flights do not leave for other countries.

Build Meitetsu buffer — μ-SKY seats are reserved, last trains matter
International ~2–2.5h; buy μ-ticket before the gate; check last train if you arrive late.
NGO ≠ NKM — and T1 north/south is not the same as T2
Centrair is NGO; Komaki is NKM. T1 domestic north / international south; T2 is the LCC hall.
Sky Town + konbini first — Fu-no-Yu if you have a long landside wait
Sky Town for meals; konbini for water; Fu-no-Yu is a paid bath, not a lounge.

Movements stop at 21:00
The published window is 07:00–21:00. A landing after 21:00 is an exception, not the timetable.
ANA is south, JAL is north
ANA’s own pages put both ANA lounges on South Terminal 4F. JAL Sakura Lounge is North Terminal 3F.
Onigiri from 06:00
ANA Suite Lounge lists onigiri, bread, soup, and miso. JAL Diamond Premier lists onigiri all day.
