If you are flying this route
at least four times a year from NYC, check your MQM's. Shouldn't you be up to PM?
I have flown DTW-HKG and DTW-NRT-HKG. The first one is nice because it is direct, doesn't involve the long walk and NRT security, and arrives at an earlier hour in the evening. IMO, the only advantages to the NRT connection are breaking up the flt into two shorter segs for those who want that, more MQM's, and an awesome SC.
Sad to see DTW-HKG didn't work out for DL but flying this route a couple times/yr, I can think of worse things that will bother me.
