I heard that Qantas is considering returning to Chicago and Miami once they finish their new orders for the A350-1000 aircraft for ultra-long flights (

https://www.airliners.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1476477). Cathay Pacific is a subsidiary of the Swire Group, based in HK (

I was hoping for something similar to happen for Miami and my home city of Philadelphia since in Miami's case, it's the closest city to the Caribbean and South America, and Cathay Pacific doesn't have one flight anywhere that lands in Latin America, and Philadelphia has absolutely no direct flights that goes to Asia despite PA having the 10th largest Asian American population in the US (
