TPA-AMS Service Announced
Press Conference concluded.
Release Link is here.
76W (36J) (26J)
May 23, 2019 start date
Year-round service, they didn't touch on frequency, but outlets seem to report 4-5x weekly.
Based on the release, they're also quietly killing PIT-CDG. EWR-CDG has been known for some time to be ending this season.
Also some additonal service annoucements outside of this in the release RE: LAX-AMS/CDG and JFK-CDG/TLV.

BA: J is 2-4-2... no thanks.
LH: J is 2-2-2, no direct aisle access and you're flying LH minus.
WK: J is staggered 1-2-1 but again, basically SWISS minus.
DL's 1-2-1 all aisle access, lie-flat "ancient" 767s seem like the most compelling J TATL product from TPA.

You may be correct, but I don’t like ancient either.

The majority of DL's 763s were delivered between 1998 and 2000. BA has a ton of old 777s from the late 90s and the 3 LH Cityline 340s are only a year or two younger on average.
So you're either going to need to connect in the US to get on those brand spankin new tech wonders or you're flying WK, in which case, doesn't sound overly convenient for travel to/from the UK.

On another note moving to the TPA area next month. The more International options the better.

Strange indeed.. what with MCO, MIA and all those other FL airports. CDG is something else.. having two flights to the same destination in quite close proximity was a head scratcher - not to mention that there was also CVG-CDG flights during the glamour days of CVG. Heck, I think that CDG-CVG route is still running between cincinnati and Paris...
