Quoting G500 (Reply 1): Korean's ICN-LAX-GRU seems to be doing all righ |
Quoting slcdeltarumd11 (Reply 3): Yeah i think AA is relying on connections from Asia, Hawaii, LAS, Alaska Airlines Flights to make this flight work. |

Quoting RWA380 (Reply 2): I always wondered why JL stopped flying NRT-JFK-GRU given the Japanese population in Brazil. |
Quoting G500 (Reply 1): LAX has something that DFW does not have, lots and lots of connecting passengers from Asia |

Quoting AA767400 (Reply 5): I believe once the 772 goes to 2-class, it will do even better. Heck, even a nice 788 would work best. |
Quoting mercure1 (Reply 8): Flying halfway around the world for ethnic diaspora does not sound like a recipe for success. |
Quoting HKG212 (Reply 10): There is also the QF feed from SYD. |
Quoting N1120A (Reply 12): Ask LH, KL and TK how much money they make on taking ethnic disapora from Los Angeles to Iran and Armenia. It works in some markets. |
Quoting LAXintl (Reply 13): JAL ran a 12hour flight to JFK, then another 10 hour leg to Brazil. |
Quoting N1120A (Reply 14): Yet they could carry NRT-JFK, NRT-GRU and JFK-GRU on it. I don't see much of a difference, especially with a good deal of feed at JFK |

Quoting MIflyer12 (Reply 17): What's the median income of Iranian/Americans in LA? What the same stat for Japanese-Brazilians? Some diasporas are wealthier than others. |
Quoting csavel (Reply 18): I am sure LH, KL, and TK make money on it but that really isn't 100% fair. What % of pax on those flights are connecting, and what percentage of *those* are connecting to Iran? |
