American Airlines begins international flights Nov. 4, on the airline’s first Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner. The first route, bookable now, is between Dallas (DFW), Madrid (MAD) and São Paulo (GRU). The new 787-9 Dreamliner includes 30 fully lie-flat, all-aisle-access business-class seats in a 1-2-1 configuration; 21 premium-economy seats in a 2-3-2 configuration; and 237 main cabin seats in a 3-3-3 configuration. Every seat includes a personal seatback entertainment center and power and USB ports. WiFi provides access to internet, live television, 300 movies, shows and games. Passengers in business class receive Bose QuietComfort Acoustic Noise Cancelling headphones. The Dreamliner also features large, dimmable windows and improved cabin humidity throughout. “As the first U.S. airline to introduce premium economy seating on international flights, we continue to innovate new ways to meet our customers’ expectations with the products and services they value. The 787-9 is going to be a fantastic addition to our widebody fleet, with international WiFi and an inflight experience that’s second to none. Our existing widebodies will offer premium economy as we retrofit our cabins and continue to elevate the entire travel experience with our $3 billion investment,” said Andrew Nocella, CMO, American Airlines. Flights depart Dallas at 5:45 p.m., arriving in Madrid at 9:55 a.m., the next day. Return flights from Madrid leave at 12:20 p.m., and arrive in Dallas at 4:40 p.m. Flights between Dallas and São Paulo depart Dallas at 7 p.m., and arrive in São Paulo at 7:05 a.m., the next day.

Airliners were required to bank sharply at the last moment, dodging hills and apartment blocks to line up with a runway jutting out into Kowloon Bay. The airport is long gone, but international visitors are arriving at Kai Tak again, albeit more sedately.
