Planning to go to Berlin from the New York area, I have been unable to find the AA codeshare with Air Berlin on AA.com (Most of what is offered is connecting to BA at LHR), so I went to look on the Air Berlin site. Given the outrageous prices they charge in "Business Class" for what seems to be no more than a Premium Economy seat and service, I shall most likely do the AA/BA connection in LHR. There seem to be connections possible via BUD with MA but, these too, are not offered on AA.com.

Has anybody experienced the AB direct flight or the AA/MA BUD connection in Business Class ?

Thanks all.

PS: As usual, AY has an excellent price but conections are awkward, 9 hours eastbound and overnight westbound
