Nadi would be an interesting add to the network.

And this confirms our suspicions! Not even FedEx or UPS can fly direct to NBO!

So I too was going to suggest NBO as a possible off-the-wall AA destination, but this puts the kibosh in that idea more than any pesky concerns about profitability.

Had a look at PHL-AMS for summer next year in J, but USdbaAA still flies this ratty plane. Why is this not upgraded to full flatbed?? I ain't no spending $$$ to fly in a domestic F to Europe.

If that was a hint, I'd hate to see outright spillage of information. 
Let's wargame this:
If AA starts a NAN route, what would it be? LAX-NAN? PHX-NAN? DFW-NAN? Lower 48-HNL-NAN? LAX-NAN-AKL? DFW-NAN-AKL?

Just to be clear; the route -I'm- talking about isn't NAN-- or anywhere remotely near it. Not to say there aren't/can't be several legit rumors at any given time, but, didn't want anyone to think this is the same as what I mentioned-- a route that is hard to believe but that I fully expect to come to fruition.

The Business Class seats on the trans-Atlantic 757 flights are much better than domestic F. They are the old Envoy seats from the Airbus fleet from before the pods got installed.
