JFK-ICN
LAX-ICN
LAX-MNL
SEA-SIN (LAX would more likely be A350-1000)
He meant DTW-PVG, which does pre block seats similar to JNB-ATL IIRC, its a 16hr flight for months out of the year. Most of the DTW-PVG flights are the 606k A359, the 623k is drastically better, once more come online the lower MTOW 606k can do more of MSP-ICN/HND, SLC-ICN, SEA-TPE/PVG/HND/ICN and LAX-HND/PVG/AKL.
