I was excited for particularly the Boston flight, but if the times quoted in the duplicate thread are correct, these flights do not work at all for Australia or HND/NRT connections in either direction, except maybe HND-LAX-ANC and GEG-LAX-NRT with longish connections.
All three look like overnight utilisation flights, so hard to blame Delta for throwing them in in a half-hearted play for the local market; not much to lose. LAX-GEG is at least reasonable for GEG-based business travellers who want to go to LAX.

(Mods, it would be nice to merge the threads, and
N830MH, it would have been nice to check for the existence of a thread that was posted over an hour before yours instead of not checking in an apparent rush to post first -- no bonus for starting an unnecessary thread.)
