Wow! I didn't see it coming. I can't believe it. B6 will done extremely performance very well. Isn't first-ever nonstop from JFK-LRM? There is no direct flight from JFK-LRM but, I think AA has already previously announced MIA-LRM, am I correct?

AA serves MIA-LRM seasonally on mainline equipment, and year-round on Eagle.

After seeing that the flight from JFK-LRN would be among the shortest in length to/from LRN, I knew the runway had to be longer than the 7000 feet.
A SIMPLE Google search yields that the runway is 9676 feet long.

Out of curiosity, does the crew have to clear customs once reaching the Dominican Republic, or do they get to stay onboard the aircraft and wait for the next flight to board?
