Would love MEX as well
Also DFW-MNL/CEB
I believe AA did fly to the Philippines at one point not sure from what port.
I might be making things up, but I think US flew DCA-SAT prior to the merger with a slot exemption (which obviously moved somewhere else if this is true since then).

Much as I'd like that, it'd be pretty abnormal from a non-hub for any US airline.

ORD-MEX. Makes no sense to not have a direct. I think LCCs like Volaris drove them out but UA and AM both have directs still.

Would love if they brought back HPN-PHL. Also HVN-DCA, CLT, or ORD, but don't know if that would happen unless they pave the runway longer.

For my purposes I'd like BOS-MXP, or at least a return of US's short-lived PHL-MXP.

Loss of a few corporate contracts? I took this flight back in Dec. While it was fairly full in J but i believe it was very light in the back. The load factor cant be good. LX provides an excellent onboard product but I cant stand the Swiss so I choose not to fly them. But they probably cornered the market on this route.

I believe they lost the big corporate contracts with Cresit Suisse, UBS etc. To DL and LX.

that combined with the focus moving to PHL, the route got whacked.

yup. Not sure why AA would even try on SFO-LHR. With 2 BA, 2 UA and 2 Virgin flights, the route is pretty well covered.

Mods, if one already exists that I didn't see then please feel free to merge.

Anyway, I'll start. My in-laws live near the Tri-Cities in Washington State so I really wish AA flew to PSC. PHX-PSC would probably make the most sense and would mean that I wouldn't need the Alaska codeshare to get out there. On the other hand, I can totally understand why they don't fly that route...

Anyone else have any wishlist flights? Either brand new or formerly served?

SEA-PHL early morning flight
Can no longer fly non-stop to catch the PHL-MUC 4:40pm flight.
Also AA just added SEA-PHL Flight 2113 non-stop but it arrives too late to fly to most destinations in Europe except PRG.

For this week at least, 2113 is scheduled to arrive in PHL at 4:24. While it may not connect with MUC at 4:40, it does connect with FRA (6:25), FCO (6:30), MAD (5:05--MCT is :35 coming from mainline or :40 coming from Eagle), BCN (6:45), AMS (6:55), LHR (7:20), VCE (6:45), ZRH (6:35), GLA (7:05), and BUD (6:20)--I may have missed one or two. The only ones in the early (5-7pm) bank that it misses are MUC as you pointed out and ATH (4:30). Flights in the later 8-9pm bank (CDG, MAN, LIS, LHR, etc.) are served by the noon departure from SEA arriving in PHL at 8:11.

Thank good info for connecting flights to Europe.

I did a 30k mile award saver check for September and AMS was available($5.60 in taxes), BUD($25.00 in taxes); Gla ($65.40 in taxes); VCE ($5.60); BCN ($5.60)

I did book today for September SEA-PRG 30k AA Award + ($25.00 in taxes).
SEA - MUC October 2018 30K * ($105.00 in taxes).

BUR-DFW

Used to be 4 Mad Dogs a day, then 3, then suddenly 0. For those of us in the northern parts of Los Angeles, it's a hassle to drive to LAX (especially in the mornings) to get anywhere other than PHX on AA metal.
