JAL might try to move multiple HNL flights to HND as a means of competing with the ANA A380 service.
A new JAL route to MIA or PHX would most likely be out of NRT since they wouldn't be competing with anyone who runs it nonstop out of HND.
I'd love for JL to start flying NRT-IAD as well. I know it's a UA hub so NH gets significantly more benefit than JL ever would, but hey, I'm selfish. CX did just add a route to the airport as well.
