Will AA ever add back JFK-LAS/SEA? JFKLAS gets added during CES and special events, but will Flt 1330 ever come back to regular service? SEA much less likely I assume with AS in the picture. (Is AS moving to T8 anytime soon?)
Jump to postAA is bringing back JFK-LAS for CES and the Superbowl. Interestingly, the flights will be on 321T meaning flagship offerings.
I wish they could bring this route back full time. Especially with the NEA gone. Maybe one day.
I could see Sun Country looking to serve LGA over JFK. Currently, no low fare service between LGA and MSP. I think SY is going to stay at JFK considering the hoops to return to it. LGAMSP would cause issues with DL if SY entered it. I wonder if WN could pick up some of those slots and serve potenti...

Jump to postIt really is not that simple. Why would AA fly a 102 seat aircraft on one of the most important routes - from a mostly slot restricted airport - to feed their LATAM network from MIA? 321T would not provide anywhere near the volume needed on JFK-MIA or LAX-MIA to support the MIA hub. Heck, JFKMIA is...
Jump to postOh LAX, the piecemeal of renovations. It forever will be renovated, rebuilt sections without other areas being touched. The new Headhouse will only cover 3/4 of the current Headhouse. The older barrel roof part that leads towards Tom Bradley will remain. Makes no sense. Same with the concourse. Par...
Jump to postLooks like B6 is getting competition on its HPN-MCO/PBI routes.

Jump to postAA can't "beef" up anything without slots, and that is going to be its issue. The ship has sailed on why AA let others eat its lunch in the NY market. CEO Arpey and his no-growth without instant profits policies. It wasn't just Arpey, though that's some of it. US also didn't know what to ...
Jump to postFlew AA on LGA-IAH a couple of times in 2022 and it was an A319 both ways. E175 definitely too small for that long of a segment. It is now just an E175. Definitely too small for the nearly 4hr route. No meals served either in FC due to that. I actually prefer flying IAH-DFW-NYC because it is a main...
Jump to postAmerican did not fly JFK-IAH. They do fly LGA-IAH once daily. Ive flown LGA-IAH a couple times. Definitely the longest route I have flown on an E175. Surprised an A319 is not used. I am still a firm believer in AA building a large domestic network out of JFK like the old days. JFK-LAS is my metric....
Jump to postJFK-DEN would be a welcome addition to AA. Do they still go from JFK to Vail? JFK-IAH could be interesting too. AA still flies JFK-EGE, aa well as LGA-EGE. AA flew JFK-IAH in the recent past and since started LGA-IAH instead. American did not fly JFK-IAH. They do fly LGA-IAH once daily. Ive flown L...
Jump to postAA flew DEN-JFK sometime around 2018 or 2019. It was very short lived and was axed pre-COVID. Unfortunately it was a pre-midnight arrival into DEN, turn red eye to JFK…as the only AA flight to NYC, not exactly a schedule to build a following. I’ve taken both the B6 DEN - LGA/JFK flights solely beca...
Jump to postNow that the NEA is in the past, will AA re-strengthen its domestic market at JFK? There are specifically medium- haul flights that AA could return. JFK-LAS/SAN/SEA/SJU come to mind. Specifically JFK-LAS which performed well and was around a year ago. With B6’s 4 daily flights now separated, this ca...
Jump to postWill AA be bringing back JFK routes on their metal now? JFK-LAS/SEA/SAN/SJU etc.
Jump to postJust landed on UA1501. Very fortunate to be one of the few flights that was not cancelled. Airport is a ghost town. Reminds me of May 2020 LGA.
Jump to postFor connecting: -IAD United Concourse is pretty horrendous. (I know its “temporary” -Gates D1-4 at DFW are a long walk and far from train/amenities. -Gate 35X at DCA was horrible. -JFK and EWR for lack of airside inter-terminals. In General: -EWR’s old Terminal A and Terminal B for the cramped rotun...
Jump to postDelta’s JFK Terminal 4 having a very long walk to the far gates and to baggage claim. It also is narrow. Should have designed something more akin to EWR Terminal C or LGA Terminal B.
There could have been a MSP-style train also. Goes between the baggage claim/concourses/down the long hall.
Disappointing. Hopefully AA can strengthen at JFK.
Would have rather kept the NEA over the potential NK merger.
AA is moving to C Concourse to allow UA to continue to expand on A Concourse.UA still has a lot of upcoming growth on A, they are currently at only 11 out of 23 gates they will get eventually. Thanks...but didn't Delta move from C to A? That's where I get confused...seems more like a gate swap...no...
Jump to postChecking ahead, it seems JFK-LAS is returning October 29th. Hopefully that stays.

Why would United operate more flights from JFK. They have a sizeable operation at EWR, brand new terminal, and quite frankly EWR is more convenient for many including myself. I would love to see more AA at T8 but I'd prefer EWR to be built-up even more, capacity permit. There is some number of New ...
Jump to postBummer that it will now likely arrive at JFK after sunset. Excited to see it. I used to revere the chrome 777-200 in my childhood. Saw photos it is still in current livery. N725AN (a -300ER) landed in GUS earlier this evening. Maybe this is the one they're repainting in the retro livery (repolishin...

Blueberries will be gone. Very few remain.
I’d love to see stripes come back some day. Classic and simple. But it probably won’t.
Do they still paint any planes in “Blueberries”? By far my favorite JB tail.
Jump to postSaw a tweet that said N750AN is being "painted" into the polished aluminum retro livery. Plane is currently in GUS where Dean Balding Painting is (AA has used them). AA Facebook and Instagram did tease it yesterday too. I am excited to see it. My all time favorite livery.
Jump to postHas Spirit said any news on their new HQ? Are they still planning on opening it in 2023 despite B6?
Jump to postJust read AA will be moving at DEN. They'll have gates C30, C32, C34, C36 and C38 effective midnight. Will they have an Admirals Club on C? Their current club on A is pretty shabby and I don’t think much has changed to it since it was a Continental Presidents Club. Yes, they are building a new admi...
Jump to postAA moving to Concourse C. Utilizing the previous common use gates of C30, 32, 34, 36 and 38. I assume previous A gate are going to UA. If I were AA, id make LAX a mainline flight and consider some more routes. They do well at DEN. DL will be taking those gates over. In addition to their other gates...
Jump to postCan’t say im sad to see T2 go. I am. That long walk through T4 to baggage claim is a lot especially if you end up at one of the B gates towards the end of the concourse. Everything was close by in T2. DL should really invest in a MSP-style train for the B gates. The walk at T4B is equivalent to the...

I was under the assumption that AA finished Project Kodiak. On an A321 right now (N544UW) which still doesn’t have a proper divide between First and MCE. What is the status on their fleet projects?

How was visibility? Could the DL pilots taking off see AA taxiing onto 4L or were they cleared before the cross began? On the flip side, couldn’t AA pilots see planes utilizing 4L for takeoff? There was another DL flight that took off moments before AA began to cross along with about 4 inline for ta...
Jump to postAAL seems to have a lot of issues at JFK. Winglet strike, the primadonna 777 CA that declared an emergency and screwed up ops that afternoon, this one, etc. AA587… The Winglet one was scary too.

Probably will not see the 787 on any JFK route any time soon, even after the phasing in of the 321XLR. JFK is not a base for the 787 yet, and AA's management have stressed the need for a consistent product on JFK long haul flights and operational simplicity. It is not a coincidence all long hauls a...

I don't see why they'd use T5 - But I think it's the most iconic terminal in JFK. Id argue T4 is. Has the most history, the tower, and...

Jump to postWhat is the status with the T8 baggage handling system? They never really talked about it despite it being listed as an upgrade.
Have there been other improvements to the terminal like modernizing/renovation?
What is the new lounge situation at T8
We have: Soho, Greenwich, and Chelsea for BA/AA Premium Travel/Status.
What happens to the flagship and admiral clubs?
I assume the Admirals Club is staying at the one in Concourse C (above the escalators to the underground walkway).
What else improved at T8 besides adding new gates? I remember reading when construction started: Baggage Handling System, concessions, clubs, and general QOL improvements. Has that been implemented? Haven’t seen anything regarding the Bag System but maybe they are working on it down there. I visit T...
