HKG? FRA? CDG? KIX? GRU?
I wouldn't personally bet on CDG or GRU. CDG has been a difficult destination outside of AF and TN (Air Tahiti). AA had LAX-CDG service but axed it.
GRU at one point had DL (not daily), KE (also not daily) and AA. Now it's down to just AA nonstop, although daily. Brazil market may not have recovered enough yet for a 2x daily nonstop in that market. It's a nice trip though, I've done it with AA and really enjoyed the length of the flight in both directions.
Possible HND?
