JL lounge in ICN was closed recently and they now use KE lounge instead (not sure why not CX). I'm wondering which one AA is going to use.

Relieved to see that they didn't cut any more routes. Would love to see year round service to FCO from anywhere AA flies. We are very sad to see BRU go.

Loving the Dublin flights
Lower taxes from DUB than LHR + the UK...
so will be a cheap way to do an outbound DUB-USA rather than LHR-USA... both paid and award and then just buy a cheap one way on BA LHR-DUB for £40-£50... ;-)

Cargo can make up a lot of $$$'s on a flight.

At ICN? The JL lounge is closed (though the space is unused). They use the KE lounge now.
The only oneworld lounge at ICN now is the CX lounge. It is a joint First/Business lounge. Offerings are like the J side of The Wing in HKG, although I haven't been in the J part of The Wing since they reopened after the referb.

Another asian destination is great, BUT I dont think there are any direct connections by one world carriers to many places from there. I need to look, but dont think there is any direct to India by OW?? Be nice to use a SWU to ICN then a shorter connection to say DEL than connecting thru LHR or NRT, etc...

I have always wanted scotland to pay more attention to Dublin. LHR is a pain in the earlobes, and there are frequent connections from dub to gla/edi. Pre-clearance as well on the return. I would fly JFK-DUB route if AA and aer arran would link up for those purposes (fat chance, although i bet there are a few scots on here would would very much like this route). Plus it seems its cheaper for me to continue to fly via lhr in business on a 777 than it is to jump a 757 on the BOS - DUB route (when i add in connections).

This is all about DFW O/D and midcon connections, not serving the coasts (if AA was doing ICN-LAX or JFK, completely different story- and I wouldn't be totally shocked to see those come online at some point down the road if AA does well bouncing back from Chapter 11). The only people who think ICN-DFW-SFO makes any sense over a nonstop are FT mileage runners.

If you were trying to get corporate West Coast traffic to and from ICN, making them backtrack 1500 miles to DFW so that you can save them a connection in MSP or SLC (that probably doesn't add anywhere near as much travel time)? Probably not all that helpful, especially since KE serves SFO nonstop.
