Starting in May 2018 the "Flagship" numbers 001/002 are transferred to HND from NRT
Starting in May the "Flagship" numbers 001/002 are transferred to HND from NRT (with the cessation of the YYZ-NRT route).
Previously 005/006. |
Interesting, I guess I have been out of the loop as I see there are no more NRT flights from YYZ. They are trying to route you through YUL, YYC or YVR to get to NRT.
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! |

Thanks for the update and link. Just read that NRT will get a new runway soon too.

Didn't AC inherit and continue these flight numbers from CP?

Government, local municipalities approve Tokyo Narita third runway | Airports & Routes content from ATWOnline Tokyo Narita Airport has taken an important step in its efforts to add a third runway and extend operating hours, after gaining clearance for its plans from local authorities. |

Perhaps the flight is really returning to HND, as presumably CP would have served HND before NRT opened in the 70s?

CP used flight 401&402 for Tokyo until 1985, when it was switched to 1&2.

I think we are relatively lucky with the time slots AC got at HND for these routes. If you look at some of the US Carriers, they have atrocious time slots
|
Just from the dates I've been looking at... The pricing for Premium Economy is sometimes $3000+. Yes, I know, demand and the timing is excellent. I've done the route 3 times, and love staying at a nearby hotel when I have a 6-12 hour layover.
I'd love to go to Tokyo again, but can't at those prices. Cheaper for me to fly to any nearby location (HKG/ICN/TPE) and then book a separate ticket. |
Great benefit of HND besides its proximity to Central Tokyo is connectivity to the "inner/city" airports at destinations with dual & multi airport status such as:
