DL is France heavy due to their alliance with AF.
AA is UK heavy with BA alliance.
UA is Germany heavy with Lufthansa alliance.
I’d bet my 5% that the XLRs end up doing some interesting Europe flying when they come online. 800 miles more range than the 75 with better economics, lots of neat more obscure European possibilities out there.
