Don't forget something from DC. The phone background in the teaser has the cherry blossoms. Interesting that AA has resorted to UA's way of announcing new routes.

Jump to postCranky Flier had a really good dive today into just how accurate UA's advance schedules are.

That was my initial reaction to JonNYC's tweet. If true, I am wondering if BCN bookings are stronger than expected and AA decided to resume CLT-BCN to quickly add capacity.
Regarding the AA transatlantic schedule for summer 2023 wonder why not more flights to Europe.

AA operates 4 ORD to LHR flights in the summer but only one in the winter, why ? Such a disparity is huge. All over AA hubs have similar winter vs. summer flights to LHR. My understanding is that the 1x daily is temporary due to a LHR slot waiver that's still in place. ORD-LHR is usually at least 3...
Jump to postLAX and JFK are no surprise - both F demand and volume demand. BOS is more interesting, but it also makes sense. Also, won't this require at least 4 active frames?

Jump to postI too am confounded as to why DL hasn't jumped on LAX-ORD (or even LAX-MDW if they wanna be sneaky) yet.

I've also heard the T2 FIS is supposed to be reopening (by summer 2023, I think).

Jump to postPHX is a bigger hub for AA in the winter, plain and simple. Routes like PHX-MSY, PHX-GRR, PHX-CVG, PHX-RDU, PHX-PIT, etc. are almost always there in the winter when the ORD and PHL hubs are bare bones, but they may or may not appear in the summer depending on how much capacity AA is able to allocate...
