It's called married segment availability. In your case, DL wants to sell a J fare BKK-NRT-someplace in the USA as a very expensive ticket, rather than use all of the Business inventory on the BKK-NRT leg. The dynamic mix applied by Revenue Management between full fare J and discounted business for all of the potential destinations beyond Narita can't be understood without all the data - and much of the data aren't public.
