I usually look into every major North American city to see how many of the Big 5 they have connections to (New York, London, Tokyo, Paris, and Hong Kong).
You have all 5 of those, damn nice.
Glad I'm not the only one that does stuff like this. LOL.
For the five cities (London, Paris, Tokyo, HK and NYC) it is: LA, SF, CHI, Dallas, and NYC.
For the 3 (London, Tokyo, NYC) it is those plus: Atlanta, Houston, DC, Seattle, Boston, San Diego, Denver, Detroit, and Minneapolis. Surprisingly, Miami and Philly aren't on the list (no direct flights to Tokyo).
New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Washington, Dallas, Atlanta, Houston, Boston, Detroit, San Diego, Minneapolis, Seattle FOR the THREE you asked for (London, Paris, Tokyo). Add in Toronto for North America.
Add in Hong Kong and complete the Big 5 (New York too) and the puddle of cities mentioned dwindles and becomes even more exclusive.

Reason: Forgot Boston.

Boston has all the big 5 as well (Direct to HKG on Cathay Pacific starts 5/2/15)
Very few Airports had a better last couple years than Logan when it comes to adding direct International carriers. Deval Patrick deserves alot of credit for that. Good read for anyone interested (http://www.bostonglobe.com/business/...aUM/story.html)
Boston has been on a tear, it's added 5 foreign flag carriers in the past 18 months. Only Houston, Miami, Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, and I think San Francisco have been on a tear like that in that same time frame (Dallas added 3, so not quite but not bad). Boston and Houston being the most impressive (I read and am subscribed to airline magazines, so literally saw week-by-week both cities getting new airline carriers, like three in a row that way).
Enjoy Cathay Pacific in Beantown, I used it in November and it slaughters United, American, or Delta combined easily in the customer service department (and quality of service in general).
