To be fair, their NYC and SFO flights are now all on the upgraded 77Ws and 77Ls. Although they did not design these planes, they have been getting great reviews and I know people who swear by these "new" planes. So, I believe, at least with a part of the Indian traveller, the perception i...

I think AA does MIA 2x seasonally. Let’s see if I can list all the destinations that AA has dropped from SEA for fun: NRT, BOS, JFK, AUS, STL, SJC, SNA, ANC, RNO (I think but need confirmation). All correct. NRT- gone by spring of '02, slot was used for JFK-NRT which started in spring/summer of '02...
Jump to postThe YYZ and YVR “upgauge” has already taken place. It’s a change from what was planned but there are now and have been for several months now 4 223 flights to YYZ and 1 daily 738M to YVR. A little surprised they’re keeping the exact same schedule in summer as winter but maybe UA will be picking up ...

Jump to posti want CM to announce DFW so badly. AA will most definitely retaliate. I flew DFWPTY when it had a nonstop, and even though i was upgraded, i gave my F seat to my dad so he could fly comfortably. in Y, they served a, “meal” which was just one of the disgusting BOB salads and a bag of chips.

Jump to postLooks like UA flight 82 diverted to Mumbai today. Wonder why this happened and where the aircraft is going. There are 257 seats in this aircraft, although I assume some economy seats are empty. I'd assume passengers are rescheduled on the following flights: 23:15 [AC 43 - (Toronto) - B777-200LR, 30...
Jump to postif true, i am appreciative of ORD-HNL resuming on AA. it is a historical route that operated daily until the 2008 global recession, then had an off/on relationship throughout the 2010's. given ORD has 789s operating flights to Europe, I cannot imagine there would be challenges using this aircraft on...

Jump to postit’s only a matter of time. the A350s have started to arrive, and other long haul aircraft will be arriving in due time with the 77Ls and 789s, including those coming from Vistara. i cannot wait for a DELDFW nonstop as it will finally unite two of my home town cities. in fact, i may just even book a...

Does anyone know what aircraft they used ...
Jump to postreviving this thread…..it appears that global events have not had any material impact on any of the AC/AI nonstop services between both nations, at least at this time. perhaps the most disruptive thing has been fog in DEL?
Jump to postI for one am really proud of how far AA + DFW has changed and evolved in the last 20 years. While it is sad that a few long-haul routes haven't panned out (GIG, LIM, HKG, PEK, AUH, MUC, KEF, UIO, GYE, CCS, TLV*, KIX, etc), there have also been some massive gains and I can only hope that it continues...

Jump to posti like the ORD upgauges. cross fleeting the 789s over the 788s on ORD/PHL-CDG/ATH/FCO/VCE/BCN/DUB/LHR ought to be the move going forward, at least in the higher seasons. glad to see that the 787 deliveries for AA are coming through, although it’s very telling that AA is moving a lot of DFW-deep Lati...
Jump to postwowowowo. that GC featured map provides some really fascinating insight. not only into the subsidized Chinese markets using the 787, but also the sheer volume of capacity to PEK/PVG/HKG lost from ORD, LAX, IAD and EWR. I think EWR-PVG may have been missed on the map, but it is incredible how it’s al...

So much for the intercontinental ‘hub’ that AA wanted to create at SEA? BLR never came to fruition, PVG out the window (even as DL ramped SEA-PVG back up to daily), and now even ...
Jump to postcall me crazy, but i would frankly love to see AA propose a HNDMIA/PHL with a 788/9 just to get creative. it’s good to see them wanting to her back into NYCTYO in general and there’s obviously a spare 77E frame avail for it. Could they same 772 do CLTHND nonstop fully loaded?
Jump to postI have a hunch that with Air India announcing an interline agreement with AS, it will not be long before BLRSEA or DELSEA flights commence, unless that codeshare was simply meant to augment existing short-haul feed into AI's North American spokes at YVR, SFO, EWR, JFK, and to a lesser extent, ORD an...
Jump to postthere’s also fifth-freedom traffic that will help fill these flights. AC has grown CPH a lot over the past few years and I imagine there is plenty of demand coming from south of the border that do not mind transiting YYZ one way or YUL the other way as long as they get to Scandinavia and back.
Jump to postthat’s nuts. i was supposed to be flying JL009 today 11/03/23 from ORD to HND, but my travel plans have changed. i tracked it and it appears to have operated normally…

Jump to postNot surprising re: AA and JFK yet they've failed on JFK-Asia before. AA has seemingly implied they are moving on from the failed SEA TPAC attempt and they've already moved on from TPAC at ORD. AA on LAS-HND always seemed like a complete oddball. AA's international strategy that changes by the wind ...
