New AA USA - Europe services for 2019
 

American is adding permanent and seasonal services between hub airports in the USA and European destinations.

I'm sorry, is there anything new here? It seems most of these routes were long ago announced... (but I can't claim to have them memorized)

Regards

I’m sure they were, but there’s no thread mentioning the group of changes and additions.

Main AA Eu flights thread---> https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/amer...ess-seats.html

Now if one can't get a SWU to clear in advance on a flight to CROATIA then there truly is a problem.

:D

You kidding? AA is packing the J cabins on those leisure flights. Mostly retirees going on cruises. I dont think I have ever seen an empty J seat on the leisure routes to Europe they have added. Lots of money in those destinations, just not road warriors.

Yep, my parents typically fly J when they do, as long as the price is reasonable.

Isn't PHL-PRG a new route? I don't see that on the list.

Started in 2018.

It was discussed in this thread, with a more informative graphic that includes aircraft and frequencies:

I don’t know why AA sent that email today promoting as if this was news. Sounds like bookings on some routes aren’t doing so hot and AA felt compelled to “remind” their customers about the new routes.

With that said, I like the direction AA is going with adding/testing new routes and expanding their global footprint. I won’t be surprised to see AA launch flights to Casablanca next year or when they start receiving new 787s.

Actually, I wouldn't at all be surprised if AA returned to Israel, once additional 787-900s arrive. ;)

I do think it has to do with seats to land and sea trips for the retiring boomers. That would include us. We have 4 trips that way between now and Jan 2020. Those are pretty much consolidator fares, however it did allow us both to reach EXP last year. And people think its all about cruises, but the land based high end tours are really taking off.

100% agree that TLV is a huge hole and I think AA is definitely leaving money on the table by not swallowing their pride and settling an open case they have in Israel.

DL/UA is making bank in TLV.
