American Airlines Launches 8 New Winter Routes to Latin America &Caribbean

As summer begins, travellers can start thinking ahead to their winter getaway by choosing from a wider range of American Airlines destinations in the Caribbean and Latin America.

With eight new routes and greater service starting in the winter of 2024, American will have more flights to more destinations in the region than any other U.S. carrier. This will further strengthen its industry-leading short-haul international network.

This winter, American will expand its network by adding seven new routes and adding service to one new destination, giving travellers the opportunity to visit both well-known and smaller places.

American Airlines is the only major American airline that flies to La Romana, Dominican Republic (LRM), and it is the only airline that serves St. Vincent and the Grenadines (SVD). These two locations join more than 20 others in the area where American is the only major carrier offering nonstop service from the United States.
