For those conecting between the major fortress hub of Dallas Fort Worth and London, as well as the sun of Miami and beyond, these could provide good extra connections. My views on AA Transatlantic Economy are… better than average depending on the seat you get. See here (October 2012) and here (April 2013) for two different views on AA’s service.

Just be thankful it isn’t on an American Airlines 767-300ER… Not pleasant if you have to sit in the back of the plane in one of those things….
