New JFK-BUD..No promotions?
Just curious if anyone knows, How come there have been no promotions on the new JFK-BUD route like their have been on JFK-HND (up to triple miles).
The best Ive seen is some cheap malev code share offers on the route.
Iam currently booked on an award booking on April 21st

i was was planning on using miles regardless so yes it does make no difference to me. But i have some buddies that might be hoping over to BUD for a few.
Strange, seen almost no promotion/advertising on this route....but seems like they have opened it up to BA/IB/Malev so maybe AA is not interested in ticketing on the flight themselves....
The flight im booked on April 21st seems horribly empty (though AA seat map may be inaccurate).
Just curious if anyone had any opinions...

Because there are probably a lot fewer high revenue business travelers to woo with the BUD service vs. HND and the competition is much less, as in nonexistent. Currently, four airlines fly five flights per day from JFK to Tokyo (AA, JL, NH and DL each have one to NRT and AA has HND too) and CO/UA has a daily from EWR. AA will be the sole operator of JFK-BUD from what I can tell.

I'm guessing that on all flights within the first month, every passenger on board gets a free BUD or BUD Light. Then again, I invested in Pet Rocks, so what do I know? 
Cheers.
Cheers.

In all honesty...should i expect anything? ...
Never actually flow AA international before... (status with A/C) . I just got a bunch of miles from a credit card transfer offer... From what im seeing mainline Y service/cabin does not look up to A/C standards...however, redemption on AA is DIRT CHEAP(in terms on fees) vs Aeroplan...
The only thing that shocked me was no Ptv or free drinks
