Terrible arrival time at HND, as expected. I am not sure if this will last.
Disagree with the negative comments on timing.
One of the best timings AA could have asked for given the current constraints. This flight is designed for O&D. Leaves LA late and offers a different timing opportunity which I welcome.
Morning arrivals into HND are possible, but the plane sits all day which can be avoided by the Japanese carriers but not the US ones. Much more efficient to do a quick turnaround. Sure the connections aren’t great at HND but that was never the point. Connections are available at narita where connecting travelers don’t care how far they are away from central Tokyo.
