I see YYZ only does HND nonstop now. What a change from a few from a years ago that HND was so hard to get into and now it is the preference of many!
I think that NRT is still slot constrained, and it (the slot) was swapped out to YUL. HND is equally as difficult (if not more so) for a foreign carrier to secure rights to. AC was granted a gem of a spot at HND.
