Until an official wavier is in place you have to go the xONEx rules. With a wavier can be more latitude with flights if your route becomes impossible. But airlines can play hard ball
As above on another route to your next stop (BKK?) via NRT/HND/ICN/SIN/KUL/where ever.
If you have run out of USA segments may need to pay for a separate flight to the (new) departure airport.
Have you used all the Asian segments?
.......
Edit
JAL fly LAX-KIX-BKK. and HNL-KIX-BKK. I suspect a little know routes.
Can AA get you to HNL? Or pay for a flight?

Thank you Mwenenzi, those are all good advices! I don't mind re-positioning on our own dime to a different airport in the U.S. if necessary. I don't mind changing my date by a few days either.
To be honest, I'm not sure if we have used all our Asia or U.S. segments. Here are our segments NRT-DEL-DOH-SOA-land to EZE-SCL-LIM-MDE-MEX (this segment is via MIA as there were no direct flights)-SNA (this segment via DFW as no direct flights)-land to SEA-BKK (via HKG as no direct flights)-NRT. This is my first RTW ticket & although I did a lot of research last year before I booked the tickets, I'm pretty novice at this.
I definitely suspect many will want to change flights/routes in Asia. That's why I started this process last week in anticipation. I called JAL & at the time, they denied me saying although seats were available, they were not open to RTW passengers. They suggested I called them again in a week. Now that Cathay as officially cancelled many flights, it will get worse. Might get even worse if this continues. That's why I would rather change this in anticipation. JAL customer support in English is only open M-F. Cathay lines are totally jammed. Not sure if AA RTW desk is open on the weekend. I might give that a try.
I will definitely give updates as I move along in this process.
