Thread: AA Adds 10x Daily JFK-LAX Starting 2/12/14

So it’s a lost of 400+ seats a day. It would appear our days of catching the non-stop to JFK are over; which in turn raises the question, which airport is the best to sleep in, ORD or DFW?

Well BOS and DCA do have rocking chairs

Wow, is there really that much demand?

Exactly- roundabout routes to NYC will become the norm.

I had no idea so many people flew nonstop between JFK and LAX. I would assume it would be a tough market to nonrev on just because of the international connections in both cities but you'd think that with 10 flights a day it would still be possible to get on (even with a reduction of seats). Good thing I wasn't trying to get on!
