If they did, though, let's see: LHR, AMS, NRT, HND, CDG, KIX, PEK, plus ICN on KE. Pretty impressive for a city that isn't even officially a DL focus city, let alone a hub.

Even more so when you add in the non-SkyTeam international longhauls: DXB, FRA, TPE, LHR, KEF, plus multiple airlines on ICN and NRT.

I'm surprised that BA was able to put a 744 on that route.
You would think that it only warrants enough for a 777 since AA doesn;t have heavy presence in SEA.
