In fact, the area around DUS has Germany's largest population concentration. So perhaps a CLT-DUS flight (either by AB or AA) could happen. I think in the peak season, there will be no shortage of CLT-Europe flights to choose from.
I wish the new AA would pick up a direct Scandinavia - US route, for example, CPH-CLT. It's only possible to fly direct from CPH to the US on Star Alliance year round, and Skyteam seasonally in summer. I fly CPH-MCO a few times a year and can only make a single connection flight with Star (SK, AC, LH) or summer only with SkyTeam (DL). OW (BA) can only be done with an airport change (LHR/LGW) that doesn't appeal.
I would love if OW would give me a single connection option now that US is out of Star.
