American Airlines expands winter schedule with new routes to Caribbean

American Airlines has announced that customers can get a head start on planning to get away this winter with more options to visit the Caribbean and Latin America. 

In winter 2024, American will enhance its industry-leading short-haul international network with eight new routes and increased service, offering flights to more destinations than any other US carrier in the region.  

American will offer service to one new destination and add seven new routes to its network this winter, allowing travellers to visit familiar and unexplored destinations.

American is the only major US airline serving St Vincent and the Grenadines (SVD) and will be the only US airline flying to La Romana, Dominican Republic (LRM). These two destinations join more than 20 others in the region where American provides the only nonstop service from the US among major carriers. 

To give customers more choices to plan their winter travels when they want to go, American will offer extended seasons on many routes to the Caribbean and Latin America. More than 98 per cent of the airline’s peak schedule to the region will operate for the full winter season.  

American will also grow service on 16 popular routes starting this December. 

“Customers will have more reasons to choose American than ever before for nonstop fun in the sun this year,” said Brian Znotins, American’s Senior Vice President of Network and Schedule Planning. “We are excited to continue growing our network to the region with more flights this winter to the Caribbean and Latin America than any other US carrier ever.” 

American’s winter schedule will offer 11 per cent more departures and 10 per cent more seats compared to its record-setting winter schedule in 2023.  

Tickets on all routes will be available for sale at aa.com or American’s mobile app starting May 20.
