I live here too but I don't understand why you think switching from NRT to HND will severely impact connections since there were few ST flights from NRT to other points in Asia. All ST airlines that fly to NRT also fly to HND.

NRT - XXX not available for HND - XXX
CI: KHH/TPE (TPE replaced by TSA, which is superior)
GA: DPS
KE: CJU/PUS
MU: NKG/PEK/XIY
VN: DAD/SGN

So, a few minor markets? PEK's the biggest one but DL would rather route you onto PDX - SEA - PEK

I think KE is a possibility down the road. If DL ever pulls out of PDX - HND, I would imagine that JL would pick up PDX - NRT. If not for parent company HNA's precarious financial situation, I would've thought that a HU PDX - PEK flight would exist by now.

I usually fly beyond NRT to an Asian destination - usually TPE, BKK or MNL. Are beyond connections going to be allowed? DL to another Skyteam carrier? The ticket would certainly end up being more expensive! The NRT-SEA flight, coming in from an Asian connecting point (xxx-NRT-SEA) is most convenient for my elderly parents.
