It looks like it would come close to flying over the North Pole.

Probably, I did ITM to JFK a number of times ( once by mistake -wrong plane) which flew a similar path and the views were spectacular.

AA slowly encroaching on the Pacific... but at least for now, the encroachment is in CX's domain.

In addition, we will end American's service from New York/JFK to Tokyo/Haneda, with the last eastbound flight on Dec. 1, 2013. This is a route we worked hard to secure as part of the 2010 Open Skies agreement between the United States and Japan.

The 0650 departure of the HND flight is just awful.No public transport running at that time.So in December I chose the NRT-DFW-LGA for our Aawards.

Well CX don't go to DFW so it's not like AA are cutting their lunch. They still codeshare on all the CX services HKG-US though. This is the first AA service to HKG though right? Will be good since they are running the same J product as CX too. What's F like on the AA 773?
