AA established DFW-KEF / Keflavik International Airport for Reykjavik, Iceland, a seasonal route, on 7 June 2018 using a 75L (international, lie flat seats) model 756-200.
AA announced the changing of this flight to PHL-KEF effective 4 Jun 2020 with the same 75L aircraft type.l
Philadelphia – Keflavik, 10:15 pm – 8:00 am, Flight AA232
Keflavik – Philadelphia, 11:00 am – 1:30 pm, Flight AA231

Despite EF showing many unassigned seats in J, AA doesn’t have any J seats for purchase and their seat map shows a handful more of assigned spaces.
I assume they rolled over the J pax from yesterday’s flight and simply haven’t assigned seats yet.

So I expected they would be capacity dumping. at 1200 RT no one is going to choose this vs Icelandair or WoW. In which case, why fly it?

I bought our tickets in March for Mid June departure for $520 each which being Platinum and getting free luggage and MCE seat assignments would be cheaper than what either airline could offer. I am hope non weather related flights go smoothly, will be monitoring.

Is there enough -any?- business travel between DFW-KEF that AA could be trying to just take advantage of company travel policies? Typically you won't see a company put someone on IcelandAir or WOW, the company has a preferred airline they use, or at least they typically prefer you to book the big 3.

Me thinks this is the hottest non-rev ticket of the summer season for AA employees - especially the millennial ones. Iceland is Instafamous with that crowd.

KEF off to a bad start
Inaugural June 7 DFW-KEF - looks like it didn't leave until 12:25pm on June 8 after some talk about stopping in Bangor and then not stopping.
DFW 820P A A15
KEF 915A
3DFW/ETD1225 CSV-DELAY DURING CUSTOMER BOARDING *1222
4DFW/OUT1225 OFF1246 *1246

3BGR/ETD1725 LAE-PREVIOUS DELAY OF THIS AIRCRAFT *2230
1BGR/OVR BGR TO KEF PRE0050 MTR-DELAY DUE TO A/C MAINTENANCE *

This made the first return cancel on June 8 and the June 9 have a 4 hour delay due to crew rest requirements.

Ridic? Asking over $10k per person for SMF-DFW-KEF in August one way in Business fits the bill. So, we spent miles. (We cruise from Reykjavik to NYC via Greenland, Labrador, Newfoundland, Nova Scotia and New England.)

Did some more poking.. DFW-KEF
6/15 - Friday: 2 open seats in J, maybe 10 in Y
6/19 - Tuesday: 6 open in J and 20 in Y
6/27 - Wednesday: 3 open seats in J, maybe 15 in Y
So loads aren't as horrible as it looked above.
