JFK-CDG (when there were 2x daily JFK-CDG flights, around early 2000s-2005), then
JFK-BOM (the nonstop flight 2006 - 2008)
then
LAX-SYD (2009 - 2015?)
I had completely forgotten that there used to be a JFK-BOM. I thought the only transoceanic flight (out of JFK) that DL canceled in the past 15 years that has never come back was JFK-MUC.
