A few handfuls, maybe. It’s a trunk aircraft so for the most part it sticks to the following cities.
SYD CAN HNL OAK SEA ONT DFW EWR IND STN EMA MEM LGG CGN FRA CDG MXP DXB JNB SIN DEL BOM TPE ANC KIX PVG SZX HKG ICN NRT CRK AKL
if you want more diverse flying, the MD-11 is (for now) a better bet, as it goes almost all of those places and many more.

it’s quite a bit. The MD-11 doesn’t go to AKL, DEL, SZX, EMA, JNB but it goes to almost all the rest and then some more (PEK, BLR, ATH, VCP and UIO occasionally, GUM, and does quite a few charters through Spain/Italy/Germany/Middle East)

Actually, the term trunk goes back almost a century, before FedEx existed. FedEx has just co-opted the term for themselves, which I thought was silly when I first heard it used here (hence the reason why I put trunk in parenthesis). The term trunk referred to the original dozen or so airlines in the 30s. At least that’s what I learned from my college air transportation class three decades ago. So to use it now just for our 777 is even more bastardized. Anyway, if you go to the flight schedule page, it has two options, trunk and feeder. And feeder doesn’t refer to 757s and 767s or A300s.
CDG-MEM or KIX-MEM = trunk route
BOI-RNO not so much.

All of it is mislabeled as trunk. The term trunk airlines refers to the original airlines from the 30s. Those airlines also operated domestic routes like boi - rno yet they were still trunk airlines. I think FedEx muddied the waters by calling their flying trunk.
