Bring back the SAN-ORD redeye.
Add a SAN-MIA. This would make connections to the Caribbean much easier.
Make the ORD-FCO year-round.
Upgrade LAX-SJU to a B763. (7+ hours on a domestic B752 is punishing)
Add a DXB flight from ORD or JFK.

Wow, all this time I thought of them as just a regional carrier for Eastern Europe. Would you share us what type of plane they used for that flight and your "gong show" experience on it?
It was part of an all-partner aaward that some wonderful folks on flyertalk help me put together, MIA-(AA)-JFK-(MA)-BUD(stop)-(MA)-IST(stop)-(IB)-MAD-(AA)-MIA. The JFK-BUD flight was canceled a few weeks after we flew it. I don't think Malev has any 767s anymore (they had three I think at one point).

Personally, I will prefer to have a late PM
ORD-SJU, something like 6:30pm or so.

ORD-MXP, ideally year-round but I'd settle for May to October.
As it is, even when JFK-MXP is operational, AA doesn't see fit to schedule a convenient route back to ORD.

Does AA have any planes to expand their routes to the South Pacific? I've been looking for flights to SYD lately and noticed that AA flights there are through partners. That's a lot of miles to waste; to the point where I've been looking at UA just so the trip won't seem like a waste.

It was this old 767-200ER. It was a gong show partially because of what the passengers were trying to carry on (successfully!). There were duffel bags the size of large hockey equipment bags stuffed below the guy's feet next to us (he was in the fetal position the whole flight), there were huge pieces of artwork hanging out of the overhead bins that weren't closed, the food included the grossest "pasta" my wife and I had ever seen, I ordered the "brain" (I still don't know what it was), and people were literally walking up and down the aisles during the takeoff. A couple people tried smoking (with varying degrees of success), and the in flight entertainment consisted of a large map that sometimes showed where we were. The Soproni was actually hot, not just warm. The price was right though... It was part of an all-partner aaward that some wonderful folks on flyertalk help me put together, MIA-(AA)-JFK-(MA)-BUD(stop)-(MA)-IST(stop)-(IB)-MAD-(AA)-MIA. The JFK-BUD flight was canceled a few weeks after we flew it. I don't think Malev has any 767s anymore (they had three I think at one point).

But your plan shows that AA should consider flying to BUD as MA has stopped flying there now ex-USA. Not so as a destination, but moreso as a connecting hub for MA for Eastern Europe and the Middle East. Not the best airport, but it's the only one OW has closest to qualifying as a "central European hub"
