757. It's in the press release.

I'm assuming (perhaps incorrectly) that it will be a 75L.

Wow, these are great additions! I'm especially excited about DFW-FAR on the CRJ! Upgrades on Eagle... finally! (for my travel destinations) ^
And no more connecting to LIM via MIA is very ^^^.

I find JFK T8 to be quite nice, and an easy transfer experience. There are sometimes queues for departure at peak hours but I personally don't find that enough of a reason to avoid it. US C&I formalities are as well organised as is possible (I'd much rather arrive to JFK than ORD or MIA, for example)...

The other thing that would make this attractive to Samsung executives is the fact that all travel can be consolidated since the Silicon Valley and New Jersey operations are very easily connected to TX via AA; more so than DL (KE's US partner).

This is perfect as I need to go to ICN in late May. Now the question is - when can I book it and what are the chances an SWU will clear?

I'm very happy that this is coming back (and I've been commenting on this board as to the problems with the over-reliance on MIA as a single-threaded connection point.
I fear that the ghetto 757 will be back on this route, as it was previously but will hope for better.

i like this as it adds a new option for me. i was never a fan of the idea of having to typically go LGA-ORD-NRT-ICN. one less hop and staying on a single carrier is a big plus for me. it'll make me double think next time i have to go back.

This is very welcome news to me since I take a group to Peru in May!
AA currently operates two daily MIA-LIM flights on AA metal. It seems backwards to me that the overnight flight (AA 2153) is on a 757 and the day flight (AA 917) is on a 763. I'm hoping the DFW-LIM flights are on a 763.
