AA DFW-DUB begins 6 Jun 2019
The DFW-DUB route is scheduled to begin 6/6/19, "subject to government approval"... I am interested in flying 6/15/19. Any informed opinions about the likelihood of this route's approval? I'd hate to rebook at the last minute.
Thanks
Thanks

had no idea this route is starting! Definitely sounds like a good weekend trip although I fear that since AA is the only nonstop they can name their price. If that is the case it won't happen although sounds like a good SWU redemption route. Wait....no 752 can fly this distance.....what in gods name are they going to use.....the new 321NEO?

Booked it a month ago for June 11 to get home from Ireland. I go to Ireland a few times a year and am very excited to have direct flight available, usually take delta with a stop in ATL or JFK. Used 110k AA miles to book it.

For what it’s worth, here it is from the horse’s mouth.
The A321LR – a new variant of Airbus’ A321neo, deliveries of which will begin in 2018 – will have the longest range of any single-aisle jetliner, able to fly routes of up to 4,000 nm. It is ideally suited to transatlantic routes, and enables airlines to tap into new long-haul markets that were not previously accessible with current single-aisle aircraft.
A321LR: the long-range leader
The A321LR – a new variant of Airbus’ A321neo – will have the longest range of any single-aisle jetliner, able to fly routes of up to 4,000 nm with 206 passengers while utilising extra fuel stored in three Additional Centre Tanks (ACTs).But at this point, we’ve veered heavily off topic.

Because that’s relevant? You need to calm down, buddy. Me being a pilot or not isn’t relevant and you having 12.000 hours on the 757/767 is even less relevant to knowing the A321s range. (Though it does make me a bit jealous, the 75 is a beautiful plane, haha.)
For what it’s worth, here it is from the horse’s mouth.
But hey, I’m not a pilot. I’ll take your word for it that the regular NEO without the extra 3 ACTs also has 4000nm range.
But at this point, we’ve veered heavily off topic.
Safe travels!
