If anything, I could see LY adding a few token European destinations here and there.

Also if Tokyo then probably Narita.
maybe one weekly with 788/9 to Phuket Cancun or Goa in the winter ?

With BOS, JFK, EWR, ORD, MIA, LAX, SFO, LAS (and YYZ) all served in 2020 (MCO is seasonal and we still don't know for sure whether it will resume next summer), I dont see LY adding any more north american destinations in the next few years.
They can use the 788 to increase frequency on the less-than-daily destinations (BOS, SFO, MIA, LAS).
I do expect them to launch a new far east destination soon, probably NRT. This is a pure speculation. Perhaps also GRU once again with the 788.

I think the strategy will be to bring those destinations (& YYZ) up to daily (well, as close to daily as possible)
Tokyo is possible, but they'd need a partner on the Japanese end for onward connections etc...
Still, a 3 or 4 times a week service could work on the 788 probably.
