No, HND is very much alive and thriving!
I had tried searching ba.com midweek, and it looks like it doesn't operate T or W. Normally, I'd expect at least a daily rotation for a route like this - if dropping any days, I'd expect it to be Sa or Su. Odd to drop two consec days isn't it?

I totally agree about HND v NRT - and I think those stacked discs are pretty iconic too! It isn't just the monorail though - HND is way better for Yokohoma, or anywhere really in metro Tokyo + there's all the domestic links too.

We like to think the Japanese have an excellent rail network (which they do) - apart from high speed airport transfers. Shinkansen link to NRT got dropped, and as you say, it is way out in the boondooks compared to NRT. Surprise BA bother serving it at all, but I suppose JAL offer some connections from there.
