Mikey-B, thanks for that information even though it is a bummer.

Promise not to "kill the messenger" for delivering it.

Thank you mi amigo.
I get the AA e-newsletter every month, and I thought that this bit of news would be important to several of the Taca fans on this site. It's definitely a bummer, and it's one less benefit to air travelers.
Pura Vida,

This is sad... Since TACA came to Chicago have used them many times, connections much cleaner and red eyes both ways. To my surprise, Customs and migration at ORD is a snap compared to MIA or DFW...especially at the 1:50 AM arrival.

Will have to start Distancia miles except TACA won't accept One World Status for upgrades or seat selection after that date..

TACA is changeing it's codeshare partner from American Airlines to United. It is asking the US Dept. of Transportation to approve the codeshare with United.
