I flew BA from LHR to MIA recently and onboard they said that anyone continuing on an AA flight to south or central America did not have to clear customs at MIA.

The complicating factor, as it is with the existing CDG-LAX-PPT flights, is that transit pax must clear US customs on the intermediate stop, despite CDG-PPT being technically a domestic route. Geography is such that there really are no other, more favorable routing options.

I believe NZ has something similar for its AKL-LAX-LHR connections at LAX, though they're segregated from general pax and have to use a "holding area".
Connecting at Los Angeles (Air NZ webpage) On arrival at LAX, transit customers holding an onward boarding pass and continuing on the same aircraft to Auckland or London Heathrow will be issued a transit card (example above) and directed by ground staff to US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) processing. Passengers will then be directed to a designated transit location for security screening by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). Once screened, passengers will be directed back into the central terminal area where they will have complete access to the departure area, including the 150,000 square feet of retail and dining space in TBIT's Great Hall. For those eligible (Business Premier, Star Alliance Gold & other eligible customers), transiting passengers will also have access to the Star Alliance lounge. Passengers must retain their boarding passes at all times. There is no requirement to complete any arrival forms and checked baggage will remain onboard during transit time. |

I just tried a dummy booking and the date after 11/18 were grayed out. Still loading fares?

interesting addition. i guess UA has more data than me, but i would've expected to see something else before this.

I'm thinking the same thing. And if I can use a UA GPU to fly flat it will finally make sense.

CDG-FSP-PPT would allow the route to remain "domestic", but FSP can't handle B777s. :D
(FSP = Saint-Pierre airport, Saint Pierre and Miquelon) I do hope that R space opens up, similar to how all the R space available when they announced IAH-SYD. |

So I ran a dummy booking in November and found a $4383.56 R/T business fare that earns 0 PQD. Wow. ;)

The SFO departure timing makes sense given the availability of gates at that time and, importantly, when an Asia departure goes mechanical, the PPT aircraft will instead be used and the PPT flight will get delayed/cancelled.

They can always operate CDG-PTP-PPT (Pointe-a-Pitre) which can handle a 777.
