DL 273: 11.56pm - 2.55pm

Why would DL have 2 flights at almost the exact same time on the same route? It doesn't seem to make sense to me.

Thanks!

I'm betting there's some type of conference going on and thus DL has added a section.
The departures are 12:15PM and 11:56AM They're only 20 minutes apart.

My guess is that one of them was chartered to SEA and it has to go back to NRT to go back into regular service.
