I love these, IMO, faulty generalization posts. Just a ? How many times have you connected in PHL and/or know the figuratively millions (No One) who have said they don't want to connect in PHL?? Why is Summer an "awful time to start this route"? Casablanca was possibly chosen as an initial (test) entry point into Africa, with onward connections via OW partner Royal Air Maroc.

Is anyone else shocked by our resident leaker posting about DFW-DEL? That is quite stunning IMO. I don't go to India to see family much anymore, but I'm pleasantly surprised that AA is actually considering India! If only they could partner with someone for connections ex-DEL.

LO ORD-BUD is long gone. Replaced by BUD-ICN next year.
LO would love to expand, but they dont have the planes. A far superior airline to AA - unless price is significantly lower I dont see any of my fellow Poles choosing AA over LO to Poland.

Looks like they loaded 4 of the 5 flights today. I looked when I got up this morning (6am ct) and noticed the ORD-KRK had 2 seats in saver J on basically every flight. Now I see they zero'd out the J cabin as of 9:30ct. Wonder if releasing saver seats was a mistake. I know several years ago the releasing of new routes was the most reliable time when saver J was released. Now it seems that has gone away too...based on the last few schedule additions to new int'l routes. Either way hopefully some people were able to snag some J seats to KRK.

Put me in the category of people that don't want to go through PHL, even though I do sometimes because I have to. Are we certain those "hundreds of thousands of people" want to go through PHL, and would do so if given the choice of a different AA hub? Sure, maybe PHL is less prone to delays than JFK or ORD, but the lounge situation is pretty dire, the agents tend to be rude, and the domestic feeder flight will most likely be on an LUS plane with no power.
