I wonder why they would not allow an Atlantic routing if coming from the US east coast? For example, from JFK to BKK, it is less miles to travel via LHR (AA/BA)then via NRT.</font>
This isn't even the silliest example of what the new rules require. As at least one person has pointed out already, travel from Hawaii to India must now be "transatlantic," i.e., via Europe.
