For PMNW, MSP/DTW-NRT would have been relatively prestigious, as would the HKG nonstops, plus MSP/DTW-AMSa d BOS-CDG when it operated. I want to add some nonstop to South Korea to the list, maybe ATL-ICN, since routes to big Asian business cities tend to be prestigious, however it's defined.

Among domestic flights, surely JFK-LAX and JFK-SFO (all nonstops with D1 service) would be prestigious.

With the postCOVID-19 shift to leisure travel, I'm tempted to add ATL-HNL and MSP-HNL or generally any D1 route to Hawaii.

Add the old PanAm JFK-NCE nonstop to the list, even though it's seasonal.
​​​​​​​I agree with HKG, but too bad DL couldn't make it work. It also sucked that the DL HKG flight departed HKG in the morning. It would have worked for me if it departed in the evening.
