What (nonstop) route do you wish Delta would really have?

This route is always subject to schedule changes and modifications of the seasonal service. I had booked a ticket for MSP-HNL in December, the scheduled equipment was a 777, and then the non-stop schedule frequency changed and I ended up on a MSP-SEA-HNL 757.
I just wish this route was year round and with the same consistent equipment.

ATL-AKL.
VA is a great partner in Australia but flying from NZ-USA via Australia is very inconvenient. Especially if you need to go beyond the west coast USA.
ATL-AKL could not only make traveling to NZ so much easier, but onward VA connections AKL-Australia (or even AKL-many pacific islands) would be a nice option to avoid LAX.

Sadly I think the lack of any possible codeshare partner in NZ will make this a non starter. UA has NZ and AA has QF/JQ... there's nobody left to partner with domestically.

Happy to see ONT-ATL announced! At least it'll provide another option to get to the east coast for those of us who do business in the eastern LA basin (where LAX really isn't that convenient), especially since SNA-JFK is being dropped.
I'm still waiting for DL to add a flight from OAK to anywhere west of SLC since they dropped the OAK-LAX route. (Would love a route to SEA or PDX!)

Since we are wishing and because Santa might be listening: non-stop (or mid-air refuel) FCM - VTZ. For my once-a-year trip. Oh, and I'd love for E+ or C fares under $2,000 because I cannot afford more than that.
