Brummies seem happy to drive 100 miles to get a plane to the States - just like me next Thursday.
My money is on Air India![]()
Yes, American Airlines served Chicago for many years. Initially with B767's and later, DC-10's. If memory serves me correctly, it was twice daily at one time.I find it so depressing that we’ve gone from AA, United & possibly Monarch to nothing from BHX to JFK.. Aer Lingus via Dublin is so expensive too. Also didn’t we used to have a successful Chicago route pre 2001?

Thanks for the correction.The America Airlines service to Chicago was only operated by B762's and then B763's, their JFK service was only on the B757.
Continental used to operate from Newark with their DC10's, and it was replaced for a while by a double daily B757 service, before they were taken over by United, and Newark was then served daily by B757s
You reckon?Primera ultimately did a lot of damage to Birmingham USA operations. It will be a real struggle to get anything back in the near future. I live in hope however.
Was Monarch a possibility?I find it so depressing that we’ve gone from AA, United & possibly Monarch to nothing from BHX to JFK.. Aer Lingus via Dublin is so expensive too. Also didn’t we used to have a successful Chicago route pre 2001?
JetBlue would be my first choice but something like Emirates to JFK similar to their Milan stop over would be perfect.
Yeh it was posted a few years ago after Monarch went under in the Monarch thread (by Ian I believe?).. it would have been double daily to JFKWas Monarch a possibility?
t's ironic that a city more than double the population of Manchester can't hold down a few TA routes.
