Domestic Flagship Routes

Mods, please relocate if necessary.

During 2021-22, I took a number of PHL-LAS trips in which I took convoluted itineraries to get better service, including lie-flats and Flagship service. A few times I flew Flagship First and got FF Dining, many other times just FL access. I got some crazy-low fares on some of the trips; I think the lowest was around $700 for LAS-LAX, LAX-MIA (Flagship biz), MIA-PHL.

I'm finally moving to Las Vegas so my travel will be much less, and I was thinking of blowing some extra money for an upcoming trip in September, but didn't see many options. I live a 75-minute drive from PHL and just under 3 hours from JFK, so JFK is a possible but not a great option, and the Flagship First flights are extremely expensive except for those quite early in the morning or late at night. (There's a 10AM that's decently priced but to make that I have to get up 5AM at the latest.)

Am I correct that there is no LAX-MIA (or reverse) Flagship service anymore? I'm pretty sure there are few or no widebody/lie-flats between PHL and MIA anymore, at least not in the months when they run the more robust overseas schedules.


Am I correct that there are no more Flagship routes between MIA and LAX, and that FFD in LAX is still closed?
