L.A. to Shanghai Nonstop

American Airlines now offers daily nonstop flights from Los Angeles to Shanghai, becoming the first domestic carrier to offer the nonstop service along the route. Before American Airlines, China Eastern Airlines was the only airline to offer the service, and American passengers flying from Los Angeles to Shanghai had to stop in San Francisco. The Texas-based airline will also offer connecting flights through its American Eagle division from Sacramento, Calif.; Houston; El Paso, Texas; Salt Lake City; Oklahoma City; Phoenix; Tucson, Ariz.; Albuquerque, N.M.; and Boise, Idaho.
