A nice amenity would be the return of a non-stop flight into the EU. We lost our Delta flight to CDG a while back, and our current flight to LHR requires customs/immigration stops twice to get into the EU.

Yup, plus an attached ICE station. You can be anywhere in Central Europe in like 3 hours on a train.

I enjoyed it but my return flight got cancelled and ended up being a boondoggle.

Flying directly to Paris the one time I did it felt so luxurious as it's usually such a pain from here.

Flying to LHR/any other UK airport was always a pain pre-Brexit as the UK was never part of the Schengen zone.

And as someone from a less-sexy part of the EU, moving out to Pittsburgh and having a potentially 3-leg flight to visit family was definitely high on my list of reservations. I haven't gone yet but I'm dreading it.

I’d add that I’d love a direct flight to LA that isn’t spirit…
