MIA-FRA

About time! LH has had a monopoly on this route for years, I have been on the LH A380 and got the last seat. It was a nice flight and awesome crew. Even got a tour of the entire plane after they finished the first service. But very happy AA is restarting it!!
 
They are not moving the flight from CLT to MIA, the CLT-FRA flights are still going to operate and twice daily next summer.

Fly LH FC next time.  The A380 experience is pretty cool-especially the oversized lavs and stowage lockers but I prefer the separate seat and bed on the 744 (which is going away sadly).

That's a pretty bold prediction.
Without LH and * alliance feed in FRA, will there be enough passengers to support 2 daily CLT-FRA flights?  Also, wouldn't it make more sense to place additional flights from CLT to a 1-world partner hub in Europe instead?

One of them will operate, but not double-daily. And no need to again post the current schedule that show two flights - that schedule will be revised before next summer.
 
They have already announced next summer's CLT schedule and it is up for sale.
 
Next summer, all European flights will be flown with A330s.
 
Schedule here:
730 London Heathrow 6:55pm 7:50am A330-300
732 London Heathrow 10:30pm 11:25am A330-200
724 Dublin 6:40pm 7:15am A330-200
786 Paris Charles de Gualle 4:45pm 6:55am A330-300
704 Frankfurt 4:35pm 7:20am A330-200
706 Frankfurt 8:25pm 11:10am A330-200

In Wednesdays Miami Town Hall meeting, Doug Parker announced MIA-FRA New Service for the first half of 2015. 
 
It might work since Germans love south FL (although they love LH too).

We'll see if any changes are made to next summer's schedule.  You gotta figure between now and then there will be more fine-tuning of the AA routes, schedules, etc. 
I'm no network planner, but if CLT is such a cheap airport to operate out of I would rather set up the schedules in such a way as to maximize its use it to funnel connecting passengers and those burning AAdvantage miles to 1-world partner hubs in Europe (be it LHR or MAD).
 
This will be reallocation of the second CLT-FRA frequency.
 
Reportedly also heard looking at moving CLT-FCO to MIA, plus adding TLV-MIA/JFK which is a poorly kept secret.

No one is going to fly south to go north.
 
CLT-FCO is a very lucrative route in the summer time.

Since most of the passengers on the CLT-FCO flight are heading to or from South Florida, not that many people will be flying "south to go north."
