I couldn't help but notice that DL 295 NRT-BKK (6:30pm departure, 11:45pm arrival) is scheduled for a noticeably longer travel time than UA 881 NRT-BKK (6:35pm departure, 11:10pm arrival).

What gives? They depart out of the same terminal 1 at NRT, so there's presumably none of the schlepping across airport property. Does DL 295 (an A330-200) typically taxi out to runway B whereas UA 881 (747-400) does not? Or is it just a difference in sandbagging policies on the timetable?
This would be my guess... Then Del-duh will announce how the flight got in ahead of schedule...
