July schedule has been loaded. Glad to see AA is bringing back ICN route in July as planned on April 2nd without further delay. Operating days have moved though, from Mo-Fr-Su to Mo-Th-Sa, and the aircraft stays overnight at ICN for the crew timing I guess. AA phone line will be busy whole next week..

I guess until some of the countries (UK, Germany, Spain, France) ease up on the need for quarantining upon arrival, airlines will be running these type of limited schedules. However, once most of Europe eases up, then I think they'll be running frequent flight schedules. My firm is keeping us grounded until above mentioned countries open up. So most of our planning is for after Sept.

DFW-DUB is 3X per week on the new schedule, as stated, but then goes to daily in August. I guess we'll have to wait until early July to see if they actually do resume daily flights. Right now Ireland has a strict 14 day quarantine for all arrivals, so I'm surprised AA is running any flights. Perhaps they are betting on an early relaxation of the rules.

Yes! I flew it before. I took nonstop flight PHX-LHR-BSL and coming home BSL-LHR-PHX. Easy ride. I flew in premium economy class. Very comfortable for me, but I didn't like sit in the main economy class anymore. It hurt with my knees. Last year I have a bad knees. The legroom is too crapped.

There are strong reports from Europe that Americans won't be allowed in for the summer...This may be announced Friday or early next week...What do you think this will do to AA's summer schedule to Europe?

to the topic: i think flights wont increase as published. but this is also related to the questions if Europeans are allowed to enter the states and if they have to go to quarantine / self isolation for 14 days after returning.

Europeans are desperate for money. They will issue a recommendation from the EU to the member states but each country will decide on their own what they will do. Most southern countries will open their doors far and wide and quickly to the Americans who bring cash. To adhere to the safety theater they will install some fever detection equipment at the arrivals and will forget to plug it in. Tale as old as time .

I booked a flight on July 26 for the end of September from MCO to RDM (Oregon) via Phx. When I booked the flight, AA had 2 flights from MCO to Phx. Saturday they sent me an email that they have changes 3 of the 4 flights on my ticket, resulting in a 6 1/2 hr layover going out and 5 hr layover coming back (note they did not change the 6am flight out form RDM to PHX...). This tells me they are cutting back, not adding to...
