American Airlines Expands European Network with Five New Routes for 2025

As autumn approaches, American Airlines is preparing for an exciting summer in 2025 with the launch of five new trans-Atlantic routes, enhancing its European network.

For the first time since 2019, American will resume flights to Edinburgh, Scotland (EDI), and introduce new routes to Athens, Greece (ATH); Madrid, Spain (MAD); Milan, Italy (MXP); and Rome, Italy (FCO). Tickets for these new routes will be available for purchase starting Sept. 9 through the American Airlines website and mobile app.

In 2025, American will expand its presence in Italy with new flights from Miami (MIA) to FCO and from Philadelphia (PHL) to MXP. The airline will serve Rome from six U.S. airports, more than any other American carrier, offering customers extensive one-stop options to experience Italy’s history and cuisine.

Travelers from Charlotte, North Carolina (CLT), will benefit from a new route to Athens, Greece, joining three other daily flights American operates to the country. This makes American the leading U.S. carrier in providing access to Greece from more U.S. cities in summer 2025.

For the first time, American will link its Chicago (ORD) hub with Madrid, enhancing the airline’s extensive service to Spain. This expansion will offer more connections via American’s partners to destinations throughout Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. In total, American will operate over 70 daily departures to 20+ trans-Atlantic destinations in summer 2025. Popular routes to Copenhagen, Denmark (CPH); Naples, Italy (NAP); and Nice, France (NCE), which launched in 2024, will return for the summer season.

Travelers heading to Paris will enjoy extended seasonal flights from Miami (MIA) into summer 2025, along with continued service on other top trans-Atlantic routes, providing even more options to explore Europe. Additionally, for those traveling across the Pacific, American will expand capacity to Asia with larger aircraft on all flights from Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) and Los Angeles (LAX) to Japan. Through its codeshare partners, American customers will gain access to over 30 additional destinations across Japan and East Asia with just one stop.

Japan Airlines Rolls Out Free Domestic Flights to International Passengers

Japan Airlines (JAL) has introduced an enticing new offer for international travelers: the chance to explore more of Japan with complimentary domestic flights.

This exclusive promotion allows passengers booking an international flight with JAL to enjoy free domestic connections, making it easier than ever to discover the country’s diverse destinations.

Complimentary Domestic Flights for Seamless Exploration

Through this offer, travelers booking international flights with JAL can now add domestic flights to any destination within Japan at no extra cost. Whether you’re landing in Tokyo, Osaka, or another major city, you can extend your journey to picturesque locations like Hokkaido, Kyoto, or Okinawa without the added expense of a domestic fare. This initiative opens up opportunities for tourists to see more of Japan in one seamless trip.

How It Works

To be eligible, travelers must book both their international and domestic flights in the same reservation. This ensures a smooth and hassle-free experience, eliminating the need for separate bookings and giving passengers peace of mind.

Most travelers will benefit from this offer, although a small stopover fee applies to passengers from the U.S., Canada, Mexico, and China if their first stay in Japan exceeds 24 hours. Passengers from other countries can enjoy this domestic travel perk without any additional charges.

Expanding Access to More Countries

Currently, the offer is available to travelers from select countries, but JAL has plans to expand eligibility in the near future, allowing even more international passengers to take advantage of the promotion. By rolling out this initiative, JAL is reinforcing its commitment to enhancing the travel experience and encouraging exploration beyond the major tourist hubs.
