Good news on this; still haven't sampled it, but keen to do so:
OPENSKIES AND AMERICAN AIRLINES SIGN NEW CODESHARE AGREEMENT, INCREASING CONNECTION OPPORTUNITIES THROUGHOUT THE U.S.
NEW YORK – December 6, 2011 – OpenSkies, the premium transatlantic airline operating flights from New York-Newark to Paris-Orly, and American Airlines have signed a new codeshare agreement giving OpenSkies customers more options and flexibility when flying to and from Europe.
Effective immediately, the agreement allows American Airlines to place its AA* code on OpenSkies operated flights between Newark Liberty International Airport and Paris-Orly Airport. Therefore, passengers are now able to book American Airlines flights to or from Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, Chicago O’Hare International Airport, Los Angeles International Airport and Miami International Airport, with connections via Newark Liberty to OpenSkies operated flights.
Customers can also through-check their bags between American Airlines and OpenSkies flights.
“We’re very happy to announce this codeshare agreement with American Airlines, which gives our customers the benefits of American’s extensive network,” said Patrick Malval, OpenSkies Managing Director. “This codeshare agreement will further develop into OpenSkies joining the joint business agreement between American Airlines, British Airways and Iberia effective January 1, 2012, bringing added benefits for transatlantic travel.”
“This new codeshare relationship will give our customers more opportunities to seamlessly connect to Europe while enjoying the premium experience OpenSkies has to offer,” said Kenji Hashimoto, American's Vice President – Strategic Alliances. “American and OpenSkies are looking into additional opportunities to enhance our relationship and offer our joint customers further benefits in the future.”
