It looks like HND-US daytime slot allocations should be done by next month. JL and NH will share 5 slots between them, and I predict NH gets 3 to JL's 2. Any predictions as to what the destinations will be?

My money's on JFK, ORD and SFO. NH cancels the morning NRT-JFK/ORD flights (afternoon ones remain), as well as its sole NRT-SFO flight leaving that route with UA and having SJC as its NRT-Bay Area route.
I tend to agree, but I think NH will keep a NRT-SFO flight as-is to capture transfer traffic from Asia. I would love to be proven wrong, however...!
