Of course, I don't know how they accomodate those KIX-DTW passengers and I'm probably not thinking of a lot of other details as well.
Has anyone had this happen on this flight or a similar situation that can comment?
Just my 2 cents... I don't think they would skip TPE-KIX and fly directly TPE-DTW. There are many people that actually fly the TPE-KIX segment and other that fly the KIX-DTW segment.
Also, about a month ago, there was a serious typhoon in TPE and NW cancelled flight NW 70 (I think the whole airport was closed). Not sure what happened to the KIX-DTW portion.
