PEK-ORD changing from 787-8?
Upon booking paid J DAY-DFW-PEK-ORD-DAY via aa.com yesterday was unable to get seat assigned for Jun 11 PEK-ORD. Called later, was told an equipment change is pending but should be able to select seat soon.
Any idea what's going on? Web site still shows 788 as it has for several weeks, consistent with posts here.
PS: I truly dislike the automated attendant now answering the "platinum line"

There's been an automated attendant answering the EXP line for as long as I've been EXP. And the "platinum line" had an automated attendant before I was EXP too. And IIRC, the platinum line just gives you higher priority in the queue on the normal line. I started flying AA in 2003. Automated attendants are nothing new IME.

Following recent equipment changes and schedule changes, an upcoming flight in August, ORD-DFW, is now operated by a 777-200 as opposed to the 787 it was originally.
Has DFW-ORD been cut from the 787 roster?

I have an award booking Dub-LHR-JFK-LAS. On the return it was leaving LAS at 6.40 am which gave us plenty of time for the departing flight back to MAN. The schedule has now been changed and leaving LAS at 15.29 arriving ORD at 21.05. We are now being routed through ORD for a flight to MAN on the 788 at 21.55.
Due to the short connection time would it be best to arrange another connection or stick with this in the hope everything runs to time?
Thanks

Aa 787 ord-pek ?
Hello,
Sorry if this is an uninformed question. I booked an award flight on a 787 from ORD-PEK in June. I found this article online mentioning that the 787 was servicing this route for March and April and then being replaced with a 777-200 (http://www.travelingformiles.com/ame...icago-beijing/).
Is this information incorrect? AA is still displaying a 787 for my seat selection.
Thanks!

That was a blog post from the beginning of the year and a subsequent AA schedule change has seen the 787 Dreamliner retained on the route though to the end of the current viewable schedule (as far as I can see). The post has been updated to remove the reference to the 1 month time window the 787 was originally scheduled for.

The updated post is available through the same link (if you cant see it try clearing your browser cache) but it's only been changed to remove the mention of the route reverting to a 777-200 so you probably won't learn much more from it

Im assuming flight 2225 today is sort of the inaugural flight for 788 service from ORD to LAX. I know flight 110 (LAX to ORD) occurred yesterday but couldnt make that one. Since I was already in Chicago and scheduled back to Los Angeles on 6/2 but on an earlier flight, I went ahead and changed to 2225.
