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!

I suspect soon still means 5-10 years away.

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

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:
Taipei TSA
Osaka ITM

I am not interested in flying to Tokyo in Y, but I will only go so high for PE and when they want 3 grand plus, forget it.
