What routes will American/US Air release with all these new planes coming into their combined network?? Give the community your opinion! Please separate your fantasies from things that will probably happen. Personally, I think we'll see some serious AsiaPac expansion with the 788/A359 as well as some "connect the dots" with MIA and LAX in the coming months.
ROUTES THAT WILL PROBABLY HAPPEN:
International Routes (probably going to be announced soon)
- LAX-AKL (its a no-brainer, but i don't think ORD-AKL or anything to SYD wil
- LAX-CAN (no OW to CAN)
- PHX-NRT
- PHL-NRT (I can imagine all the OW-ers in the Northeast using this)
These domestic ones just make sense:
- LAX-MCI
- LAX-MEX
- LAX-DTW (please add some competition!!)
- LAX-PDX
- DFW/LAX-GEG (seems like a good point to expand PNW customer base)
- CLT-SJC
- Something to Montana...interesting how the airline that has the US flag on the back of all its (new) planes doesn't fly to all 49 serviceable states (not counting DE beacuse no one in tehir right mind should serve Wilmington...I'm honestly surprised Tampa worked (in my opinion, any city in America (and many in Canada) can take a few MCO flights a week )...
- Something to Africa- Maybe MIA-LOS/JNB LOS in conjunction with Arik Air (starting them towards OW ; JNB with BA/Comair (to help OW connections into South Africa besides LHR/DOH) or JFK/PHL-CMN (JFK if RAM goes to *A, PHL in conjunction with RAM if they go to OW or stay unaligned)
ROUTES I'D LIKE TO HAPPEN:
- DFW/LAX/maybe ORD-OAK (cant let WN win )
- CLT-NRT (please, please God/Dougie Parker)
- CLT-GRU/GIG (why'd they take them?? This made all us #avgeeks in the CLT/NC community mad )
- MIA-more Columbia
- PHX-2 more major Asia (ICN/PEK (in conjunction with Hainan?)/ NRT??)
- CLT-HNL (this route was AMAZING for those of us in NC )
- BOS-LHR restart
- CLT-FCO year-round
- MIA/CLT-TLV (make it the leading American carrier into TLV)
