Any chance a list like this exists somewhere that just shows nonstops to Europe?
Thanks

The wiki lists CDG-BOS(s) and was updated last August. I don't see it in the schedule though.

Is this a mistake or is AA really bringing back the seasonal Paris route next spring or summer? Thanks.

Great thread -- exactly the info I was looking for.
I wonder if there are any new updates for the wiki?

I suspect it's out of date. Will update to remove.

I was surprised to see the seasonal GLA-PHL route missing from the wiki. A quick search online shows that for the S19 season, the route has been replaced by a seasonal EDI-PHL route

Sigh that's a shame. While it is somewhat easier to get from the middle of EDI to the airport by public transit, the fact that the city is totally overrun by tourists makes me want to avoid it and besides my business interests are closer to GLA.

The google flight site can give a pretty good depiction by searching all AA US hubs as an origin, and "EUROPE" as destination with a date. In this link I used July 13 to get the full map of nonstop Europe destinations from MIA/PHL/JFK/ORD/DFW/LAX

It's located at American Airlines Map

Another source is the AA magazine you can get in flight or at an Admirals' Club.

On the second of the two original questions, where is there a good business class saver availability, I found that the Philadelphia to Dubrovnik route was loaded with business saver tickets in late July and early August. Its a 767 so not the best biz seats, but very impressive availability if youre looking to get to central Europe. I saw U 7 on a number of days, we ultimately got 6 family members on the same flights.

I casually checked and saw things with enormous travel times (33 hours). What specific routings did you find this on?>

Well, for starters, you cannot begin in PHL. If there is any rule we have learned from married segments is that you can almost never find availability from a trans-Atlantic or trans-pacific gateway. But from there I found lots of great options, for me starting from the Pacific NW was the goal. We got SEA-PHL during the day but an overnight in PHL, then PHL-DBV the next day. We kept doing EF searches and low and behold a better connection popped up and now we leave Seattle at 8:15am and only have a brief layover in PHL before the DBV flight leaves at 6:20pm that evening.

Lastly, book something with a couple of connections, "enormous travel times" and sit back and wait for the schedule changes and call in the claim your prize (of a more direct routing). There is an entire thread on this trick, it works well if you book in September for the following summer.

Nothing is remotely free any more with AA, but there still are tricks and tips. I wouldnt be discouraged by bad connections or long travel time, you can fix those over the next 8 months.

Lie flat?

Are all AA aircraft flying TATL now offering horizontal lie flat seats in Business Class?
