But the question was relating to capacity, and I'd say there isn't enough between the US and Greece. Not to mention getting to any of the islands (BA does have some service to those as well; it was really nice flying LHR-CHQ a few years ago).
Do you think MIA-ATH could be next? Or is the local market not as big as say, MIA-MXP?
Speaking of MIA-MXP, that route is resuming today after more than 6 years. MIA-MXP will probably do very well given the high demand between the 2 cities as well as the high demand from the U.S. to Italy in general. Do you guys think Prague and Budapest (which are both resuming at the end of May) will be successful for AA?
