I'm not really concerned about ATL/PVG I think it will do just fine...although I am slightly surprised, I guess I should say more disappointed than surprised, that it didn't go to MSP. I know the Mall of America (MoA) is desperate for anyone to add a direct flight from MSP to China.
Just look at Yorkdale Mall, near the airport in Toronto. The place is full of Asian tour groups, who fly over and shop, shop, shop. But Toronto is also more of a destination in and of itself than Minneapolis.
Even little old Guam is huge when it comes to Korean and Japanese shoppers. You can fly down from Tokyo in under 4 hours and buy Gucci and Prada for a lot cheaper than in Japan.
