I think AA will start flying to Tel Aviv. The El Al thing hasn't been working out too well, and DL is set to start code-sharing with El Al this spring.

I'm disappointed that AA won't be picking up the rights/frequenices for flights from JFK to ZRH or BRU. For me to use a VIP2 to most places in Europe (to upgrade over the water), I have to first backtrack from BOS or NYC to ORD or DFW, then fly over the water to ZRH or BRU on AA metal. Much nicer if AA had flights from JFK to ZRH and BRU...
