And once upon a time Delta bet on Portland as well with transpacific nonstops between PDX and Tokyo, Seoul and Nagoya as well as direct flights between PDX and Taipei and Bangkok, all flown with MD-11 equipment.

However, it didn't work with DL subsequently shutting down their "Asian mini hub" at Portland.....
