Fortunately, as a New Yorker you can still fly non-stop via AA to HND, BR to TPE, CA to PEK, CI to TPE, CX to HKG, CZ to CAN, JL to HND, KE to ICN, MU to PVG, NH to HND, OZ to ICN, and SQ to SIN! Some of them will even credit to DL...
Agree! I mostly would love JFK to HND, but Delta decided not to even bid on the HND slot after they ended PDX to HND, which saddened me. I used to fly JFK to NRT on Delta before they ended it and loved it. At a Delta event this year I asked some of their execs about bringing back East Asia to NYC and they said it just wouldn't be financially viable given all the competition.
As for Europe, would love to see Vienna! But I realize I am off-topic now.
