i never realized there is no direct IAD-HKG whatsoever. CX even flies to BOS now - i know OW has stronger presence there (and massport is throwing around subsidies like water to any int'l airline), but one would think that DC/nova would have higher O/D demand.

Maybe it might work with an 787-8, since UA wants no competitors when it flies routes.

SFO-BKK, or anything to BKK.
Looking through the comments this seems to be a very popular request.

I'd pretty much pay anything for BKK-EWR, but... that ain't gonna happen.

That makes no sense at all to not go SFO-BKK (no competition) but go ICN-LAX when an partner (OZ) will fly an A380 into LAX

Yes - I think this seems like a no-brainer to me. Getting to BKK from the west coast is a pain and I feel like there is ample demand. Does anyone have any insight on why they canceled the flight?

Low premium yields.

I vote for LAX-FRA again, GUM-PPT, and the return of IAD-KWI. Also, IAD-JNB when SA eventually suspends the route.

Any hub to Chattanooga (no longer a *A city since US vacated *A)
and
HNL to SEA (a former route that will never return given Delta and Alaska booting UA from SEA for other than spoke to hub routes

Highly unlikely, but as someone who's stuck in Y for a while yet, SFO-ZRH in a 767 would be nice (not quite sure that has the range for this route though?).
LX do serve that with A340s at the moment, they aren't too bad comfort-wise, but I still prefer E+ in a 767. Next year they're switching to 777 (with 3-4-3), which I'd prefer to avoid if at all possible.

I'd love UA to fly EWR-JNB and/or EWR-CPT themselves, but I guess that won't happen!

I'd really like to see IAH-ACY and EWR-CAE. Both would be highly profitable.
