1. Possess a Korean visa-free passport and K-eta.
  2. Purchased a Korean Air round-trip ticket, with a layover in Japan for approximately 13 hours on the flight to Paris.
  3. The Transit Hotel for transit passengers was closed for repair in early February, so I booked a capsule hotel downstairs at the airport.

Q1. Can I transit with the Korean Air round-trip ticket? If so, is it necessary to go through the arrival channel for departure and then check into the hotel?

Q2. Although it’s a round-trip ticket, do I need to collect my luggage and re-check it for departure? If not, do I just need to check in, collect the boarding pass, and pass through security the next day? Thank you!
