To Asia? This is a better matchup, but CA/CX/JL vs. NH/OZ/SQ doesn't strike me as a case where *A is totally overmatched. Even KE and all the Chinese airlines isn't THAT bad for choices of options.

To South America? OK, this is a pretty clear one with LATAM, though Copa/Avianca aren't terrible.

To Australia? Well, obviously QF is pretty good, but *A has NZ and if you're DL, you get VA...

What are you driving at?

And this is where my tortured love affair with AA may end for me. Most of our international travel is to Europe. In that market, *A has it all over OW.
