Ahhh. I thought it seemed odd that AA was starting Charlotte-Kalamazoo. :) Two other routes that I think AA should try from MIA with the E75 are Dominica (DOM) and San Andres Island, Colombia (ADZ). AA served DOM from SJU in the past with an ATR. I’m not sure an E75 can serve DOM due to the mountai...

A crew member fell ill.
Passengers stayed on board and once a new crew was loaded, continued on to CUR.
The coach lounge became more popular than the upper deck first class lounge because of the piano. From what the senior ladies I’ve flown with have told me, you never knew who would end up playing the piano. You might have gotten an impromptu concert from Stevie Wonder! The flights were never as ful...
Jump to postChecking Planespotters.net, it appears that 23 of AA's 47 B77E's have the older cabin layouts. Rather than AA going to the expense of coverting these to their current interior standard, perhaps they will simply retire those unconverted B77E's? https://www.planespotters.net/airline/American-Airlines...

AMS on some gates.
PH-BFT returned from PEK to AMS at April 16th. According the Loadmaster Herman Reede, the payload was volume limited, (so 140% more payload than a volume limited 777W) See for pictures at PEK and during flight : https://www.facebook.com/groups/FarewellKLMBoeing747/permalink/2820924851329981/ PH-BFT...

I’m surprised SXM is still “business as usual”. We have a trip planned there for two weeks from now and their response is basically “well if you don’t make it here, screw you, we are open”. SXM isn't business as usual though. They suspended flights to the US, EU, UK. The ban is scheduled to last th...
Jump to postI'm not understanding why the OP said it is safer to have 3-3-3? In 3-3-3, two pax per row have to climb over two people, while in 2-5-2, only one climbs, and he has a choice on which way to go. I was *assuming* (perhaps incorrectly, thereby making an @$$ of U + me) that 3-3-3 is safer than 2-5-2 s...

I don't think GOL (or any airline for the matter) would cut any route on where they make money.
com'on B6, this is a market you need to get into. Keep in mind, AV is upgauging from the A319 to the 787, hence the reduction in flights. I don't quite get how AY makes all these connections work. It's not exactly at a great geographical location. HEL is in a great position for connections. Sure, n...

Jump to postYep...this is a concrete result of the LATAM partnership. I agree that overall we will see more, but I do not agree that this is an example of it. LATAM is pretty irrelevant at BOG. That’s not true at all. LATAM has a significant and growing presence at BOG. You might want to check that again. LATA...

Expansion in Australia is great for AA since they reduced their presence in China. AA sadly killed their Chicago to Shanghai and Peking flights in late 2018. While their are many reasons attributable to this, the 787-8 has to be one of the reasons. Those planes had 28 Business Class seats, they too...

In the EU if a cancellation is not weather or strike related and you get to your final destination 6+hrs later than expected every pax can claim up to 600 euros. I personally got 600 euros last month due to a cancelled flight. There are a few other reasons and compensation amount is based on distan...

Jump to postAs others have said, due to frequencies. Same reason you won't see A380s on the LHR-JFK route. Well let’s say this is due to JFK T7 limitations. This route is certainly thick enough for a few A380s a day. BA puts here 747s all the time. You’re aware that the A380 seats 70% more pax than the ultra H...

EK, absolutely. AA's fleet is so diverse that those who take their 767 and older 777s say never again while those...
