Six of the 10 destinations are new to travelers from ORD, while four will compete against American….
American Airlines will bring its swankiest new business-class suites to its oldest long-haul planes. The Fort Worth-based carrier on Thursday announced plans to give its Boeing 777-200ERs a “nose-to-tail” cabin face-lift.
