D's dad was scheduled to arrive on a flight from Tokyo at 1:50pm. We figured that with immigration, baggage claim, and customs, it would be after 2:30pm by the time he got out, and planned accordingly.
At 1:05pm we got a call saying he'd arrived (45 minutes early). I just checked the flight status and the flight left Narita 13 minutes early, and made up another 32 minutes in-flight. Is this what happens on flights out of Japan?

Wind direction and speed affect flight time significantly, and it is not uncommon for international flights to leave before schedule. Also, airlines "pad" their scheduled flight times so they can make claims like "99% on time".
