Thanks for the note of clarity; I'm reading AA spokesperson quotes on sites like thepointsguy such as: "As part of a continuous evaluation of our network, American Airlines will shift its Doha service from New York to Philadelphia starting Oct. 29. This new nonstop PHL-DOH service will offer connections from more than 80 destinations across North America to Doha. As part of American's partnership with Qatar Airways, customers can connect in Doha to destinations across the Middle East, Africa, and Asia. We're proactively reaching out to customers affected by the change to offer alternate travel arrangements."
