So glad to see the 777s being pulled from this prime route and the more prestigious Dreamliner service being restored.

Now Torontonians and other Ontarians won't have to choose between the more convenient HND airport or the better 787 metal (or should I say "composite material") on the NRT route!

What does the x246 and x357 mean ?

Jasper2009

Day of the week.

E.g. 1 = Monday, 2 = Tuesday etc.

D582

It is for one month only (reduction in capacity to reflect demand).

The x means 'except'. So x246 means except days 2, 4, 6 (Tues, Thurs, Sat), therefore the flight operates on Mon, Wed, Fri, and Sun.
