Flying from XNA to ZRH in summer of 2024, can't find any 1-stop options
Looking at flying to Switzerland next summer (late June or July) from XNA. Would strongly prefer a one layover connection due to flying with kids and the potential for delays etc (like there was this summer), but can't find any such, especially on the way home to XNA. Am I looking too early? I know schedules are still very fluid 9 months in advance. Should I chance waiting and hope they add flights which would make one-connection possible? Or should I consider two connection flights vs one conx on other airlines?

To the OP, hi from central Arkansas. If you choose to stick with AA to ZRH you are going to have to double connect. I wouldn't count on them adding anything that will make it a one-stop. Sometimes I've been known to give myself an overnight somewhere to break up the trip. So my vacation to Prague, also becomes a trip to London for example. But if you absolutely want a one-stop, UA through ORD is probably your best bet.

I've updated the thread's title to make it a bit easier to see that it's a one-stop option that the OP seeks. Obviously if a non-stop is preferred, a drive to LIT would be in order, but that's another topic...
