Long Rumored MIA-NRT ???????
I was fiddling around with the OneWorld Online planning tool and found the following flight on 2/20/2013:
AA 61 MIA-NRT Duration: 18h 10m Aircraft: Equipment varies
Is this the long rumored 777-ER????
Sorry - I'm guessing it's a thru flight. Confusing from planner....

Looking in KVS is seems to a direct flight, with an equipment change at the intermediate stop in DFW
[KVS Availability Tool 7.0.7/Diamond - Amadeus: Timetable/NL-BCDF]

Could be useful for Oneworld explorer itineraries
Hopefully the MIA-DFW flight will arrive at the same terminal as the DFW-NRT departs from

Well, it would save a segment, but I'd fly CX F if I'm in F on that route, connecting in JFK or ORD, even at the cost of an extra segment unless I absolutely needed it. For winter departures, I'd do LAX or SFO, of course. Not interested in AA F TPAC when I can have CX for the same price.

This also opens up more NA gateways for AA Award tickets eg you should now be able to do Asia-(LAX)-LAS-other point in NA with stopover in LAS or use MIA as a gateway stopover from Asia enroute to the Caribbean

If NRT/HND is your final Asian destination, yes. If not, I'd much rather do MIA(AA)-JFK(CX)-HKG(CX)-xxx (3 segments) than MIA(AA)-DFW(AA)-NRT(JL)-xxx (2 segments).
