No More Widebodies? American Airlines Removing Boeing 777 & 787 Between Miami & LAX

- American Airlines will be making a drastic change to its popular hub-to-hub route between Miami International Airport and Los Angeles International Airport. This fall, the carrier will schedule all flights on the route to be operated by narrowbody aircraft.
The shakeup is somewhat unlike the airline as it has traditionally flown widebodies between the two cities for decades. The move also represents the loss of its most premium products, Flagship First and Flagship Business, which won’t be seen on the narrowbodies filling the role.

Inevitable - not many passengers will pay 4x the economy fair for a 4 hour flight.
Fare?
the real reason is that nobody wants to fly to communist california.
all the californians are FLEEING the state to Florida. so they can only fill the plane on one direction.
5 hours 30 minutes
Takes 4 hours to get from LAX to MIA? I want to take THAT flight.
It's a shame because widebody aircraft are so much comfier
Care to explain how?
That would only depend upon the seats and seating-pattern chosen by the airlines.
How are they comfier? The seats are the same. There is no difference.
@@rtbrtb_dutchy4183 Larger Cabin
Fly Asian carriers to experience comfort.
@@rtbrtb_dutchy4183 The cabin feels less stuffy from my expereince, less crampt.
This is what happens when you get rid of the 757/767
Thats the first thought that came to my mind too.
Both were elderly aircraft with high maintenance costs and fuel burn. They can't keep geriatric planes flying just because you like them.
I think some of the hub to hub widebody flights were for aircraft positioning to fly long haul routes. I know Delta flies the A-350 from Europe to Atlanta which then goes to LAX and later on to SYD
Don't forget about United, which flies wide bodies almost exclusively between the east and west coasts.
@@dmcr9525This is new. Even well after the merger, it was 100% narrowbody
Surprised they didn't put that old DC 3 they have on the route
It is better to offer more flights per day with smaller planes than to reduce the slots and use larger aircraft.
more economical and flexibility with narrowbodies.
I wouldn’t be surprised if they change it back, I remember when Emirates replaced the A380 with the smaller 777 on the Washington & Dubai route last year which was supposed to be permanent, but they switched it back to the superjumbo earlier this year.
Fair enough why they are doing this
LOL Could it have SOMETHING to do with both of the planes being Boeing planes that could potentially have safety issues?
@@DataRewno.
@@DataRew boeings don't have safety issues
@@DataRewno, grow up and get off the Internet. Stop watching TV for good measure too.
@@DataRew Nope, Boeimg 777s and 787s are safe. You been watching those brain damaging 737 MAX. Get off the internet and stop using your electronics.
I'm starting to realize I liked it better in the yester years when planes were bigger both because of technological limitations and federal laws. The narrow bodies feel significantly less spacious than the widebodies
No!!!! Thanks for the update.. I was looking for the 787 or 777 lax to mia and it wasn't appearing anymore.. I can't stop wondering why now..lol..
Im quite sad for this news
me too
This is ridiculous… it’s been doing this for the last 20 years at least.
In one hand these domestic wide bodies should have been configured different but on the other hand, they need flexibility to schedule long haul flights too.
One thing worth mentioning is the addition of Alaska to the OWA and their addition of west to east flights. Example the LAX to ft Lauderdale flight.
Yes
What about CLT’s 772’s between those 2 airports?
I also heard that they’ll be removing the 777-20R from the MIA-CLT route in September, is this true?
Looks like less business for them.
Seems to make sense.
You've made my day with this video
I flew the Boeing 777-200ER and 300ER between MIA and JFK and I'm curious if thats at risk, ( It's a more popular route than MIA -> LAX )
Lucky I just recently flew in first on the 777 on this route. Shame it’s going away
Yeah
American packs more seats in economy class than any other legacy carriers. I don't want to spend hours in the sardine class between MIA and LAX.
Fly Delta
Definitely not. American, Delta, and United always have roughly the same amount of seats across every plane variant in their fleet
Then pay more for the upgraded seats.
@@erauprcwa I already do that on Delta.
Typically 777 & 787 pilots are very senior. Read: costly. Add in the savings using NB aircraft and the increase in frequency, which offers customers more choices...it was inevitable.
Is MIA to DFW remaining unchanged
Simply convert some widebodies for domestic use only.
Makes financial sense
Maybe they’ll put the A321XLR on the route the way they use A321Ts on JFK-LAX
Non Rev travel will be rough now
It’s smart but narrow bodies can be boring😂
Wheres the line between wide bodied and narrow bodied?
One or two aisles, that's usually the difference.
The B757 or A321 are quite similar in capacity to the 767-200 or A310, but the former ones have only 1 aisle and, therefore, are narrow bodies, while the latter ones are wide bodies with 2 aisles.
Yep, all about the seating config
@davidwebb Wide bodied aircraft have 2 aisles while narrow bodies only have one.
Smaller planes going more often sounds better, if the economy price is about the same.
Biggest problem is lack of wide body deliveries from Boeing. Should have kept the 25 A350 orders & parked the A330s. Perhaps why EVP & Chief Commercial Officer Raja was fired.
It’s a business move so I get it
No more flying theaters.
I thought their flagship first class service was the best back in the 90s
Delta did that years ago
The route is too short for business class
But where the money is made is by its cargo capacity more them passengers.. But 🤷🏽♂️
I think it's a good decision Wide Body AIRCRAFT good for long 7 or 8 hr. Flights !! All about profit ,money and what makes sense!! ❤THUMBS UP TO AMERICAN AIRLINES
Money Money Money
Early
777 tuopdfkjo;)
Who cares?
One more reason to not fly on American
LOL also, could it have SOMETHING to do with both of the planes being Boeing planes that could potentially have safety issues?
No
No
I also heard that they’ll be removing the 777-200LR from the MIA-CLT route in September, is this true?
Sounds likely because that's much shorter than MIA to LAX
