I suppose JL would still keep the current LAX at NRT and continue to cover for AA's afternoon ORD slot but downgrade both flights to a 788/9 Sky Suite or something similar. SEA and BOS should move to HND with the former as explicitly mentioned by JL during their relaunch, while BOS has a way more higher O&D traffic vs DFW. I would like to have LAS as a new route from HND as it has a higher O&D over BOS but if I am not mistaken, more than 80% is leisure so margin is not that great. This route is good for ZipAir after ICN/BKK with 2021 as the earliest possible launch.

JL still has 3 x 789s scheduled for delivery before the start of S20 schedule so it has some leeway to add new/retain routes such as LAX, ORD or even SFO at NRT.
NH could probably go for the following: SFO, SJC, IAH, IAD, SEA, HNL (Just thinking how insane the O&D traffic is between TYO - HNL - last time I checked it was already around 1.4M / year or something)
