V-Flyer

Has anyone more info on when VA will move from NRT to HND? I see that ANA will move at the end of March from NRT to HND on their LHR run, and they mention that VA code share still runs from NRT, although i thought VA were also moving to HND. Thank you

Just to add that JAL are moving to HAD from end of march too
When I mentioned the rumour to a member of the CC they didn't say when but that they heard the same rumour. I seem to recall it was going to be around the same time but surely VS would have mentioned it by now.
Really hoping that they do move though

Some details here, Iam sure VS will confirm the equipment and times shortly

Thanks

I don't believe there are any plans now to move to HND now. HND will only be the ANA codeshare.

VS are moving apparently, as this has come up before here

I think that given that JAL and ANA are moving their NRT operations to HND and BA already has slots at HND that VS should follow suit pretty quickly otherwise they could lose out on business as HND is so much closer to central tokyo. The Haneda express is less than 30minutes to Tokyo (i think it may only be 15-20 mins but not 100% certain).
Come on VS!!!

That was a while ago and my understanding is they were not able to obtain the correct slots to operate it so will be staying at NRT for the time being.

I'm pretty sire if they were going to be moving to HND in April we would have had it confirmed by now.

I am assuming then that were they aiming to match the slots they have at NRT? but werent able to get them?

I haven't heard yet of any change to HND but my flight departure times in May have been brought back by 40 minutes from LHR and from NRT. Don't know if this is a precursor to later changing airports, who knows?

Hmm in the winter season the flights depart LHR at around midday and in the summer season they used to depart around 13.45. If the flight leaves at around one then you would be looking at a rough arrival in Japan at 0830 (same as winter season) if the HND slot is arrival of 0830 that would be perfect.
We wait to see

Yep my flight has changed from 13:45 to 13:05 arriving 08:50 instead of 09:30. Return flight has changed too.

Quite a few flights have slightly different timings in the Summer timetable due to some slot shuffling.

An example is the VS9/10 is an hour earlier than it has been in the past.
