is the only other 777 domestic flight. yes it is only a 2 class service on a 3 class airplane as the 777 and the 767-200 are the only airplanes in the AA fleet with 3 classes, and the 767-200 does only transcon.

No, AA's MIA-LAX 772 flight is a 3-class service.
The 762 does not only transcons, as it also flies MIA-JFK and JFK-BDA.

you forgot nonstop LAX-SJU on a 752 probably the longest flight. AA Flight # 254; flight time is 6:25hrs; 3,385 miles. Westbound AA flight # 285 logs a flight a time of 7:45hrs. Is this the longest 752 flight for now?

LAX-XNA is Eagle as well; and I believe it is being cancelled, yes?
What is the purpose of this 777 flight? I know it keeps a plane in use that otherwise would be sitting around, but is that the only reason? Its scheduled times are not really great for Latin American connections with the exception of red-eyes coming and going...what are the load factors like?

Redeyes make up the majority of the premium traffic between the U.S. and Latin America, and if one wants to fly AA to Belo Horizonte, Buenos Aires, La Paz, Montevideo, Recife, Rio de Janeiro, Salvador or Santiago, a redeye is the only option (all except LPB/REC/SSA operate returns to MIA exclusively as redeyes, as well).

MIA-LAX is a pretty big market to begin with. AA flys MIA-LAX 7X daily. Also most long haul South American flights are red eyes so the timing is perfect for both the connections and aircraft.

Does anyone know how difficult it is to get a business class seat on the 2 class 777? I know you have to wait until after OLCI opens.

There is no 2-class 772 service. It is a 3-class flight. There will be a 2-class 762 service come January 31st, but both the J and F cabin will be sold as F, as opposed to the norm of selling the F cabin as F and giving J seats to full-Y and elites. In the case of two-class services where the J cabin is sold as Y, the chances of getting an F seat are near impossible unless you have status or buy a full-fare Y ticket.

AA 299 and AA 1520 are sold as a three-class service.
ya i forgot about the mia-jfk
Quoting MAH4546 (Reply 4): No, AA's MIA-LAX 772 flight is a 3-class service.
i consider mia-lax a transcon flight which if there is a 67 or 77 there is 3 class service.

I meant sold as two class. I assume you mean J in the last sentence instead of F. I thought it was pretty tough.
I love that flight and I'm so glad that it's sold as a three-class service. I've been real lucky in terms of getting upgraded, I've never had any problems whatsoever. I guess having status really helps out.

I did not know that so many Miami-Latin American flights were red-eyes. It makes perfect sense, though.
What kind of paid yields does AA get on the F and J classes of this flight? Does it add to the revenue? Or is it mostly upgrades?
Too bad we in San Diego can't even get a 738 SAN-MIA...

There is good premium demand between Miami and Los Angeles, mostly entertainment industry and high-end leisure. Not to mention that there is good premium demand between L.A. and deep South America that connects on this flight.
I fly the route often, on this very flight, and have status. Maybe it’s because I always take it on a Friday, but if I don’t pay for a J fare, my upgrade rarely ever clears, and neither do most people judging by how long the upgrade standby list is on the LCD screens.

By 5:30 am flights from SCL, EZE, MVD, GRU, GIG, etc. have arrived at MIA; so a lot of passengers connect onto the 772 operated flight because of the timing of the flight.

LAX-XNA on MQ is ending on April 1st. It is really an oddball route that brings a plane that MQ uses on no other flight into LAX. XNA will still have extensive service from AA, including 3 daily MD-80s to DFW...
