American adds cool new Caribbean destination, cuts Miami transcon route in big network update
15.07.2024 - 14:57 / thepointsguy.com
American Airlines just made several noteworthy changes to its route map.
The Fort Worth-based carrier is adding one all-new international destination, as well as two new flights from New York's LaGuardia Airport (LGA). American will also cut a splashy transcontinental route from Miami and trim long-haul service to London this winter.
The changes were first seen in Cirium schedules and later confirmed by a carrier spokesperson.
Value check: Are airline credit cards worth it anymore?
You'll find all of the details on American's changes below, all of which are now reflected in the carrier's online schedule.
The biggest news is that American is adding an all-new pin to its route map: South Caicos Airport, Turks and Caicos (XSC).
This new flight will launch on Feb. 15, 2025, and will operate twice weekly on Wednesdays and Saturdays from American's Caribbean hub in Miami International Airport (MIA).
The airline will deploy a 76-seat Embraer 175 regional jet on the new 628-mile service.
Flights will depart Miami at 10:05 a.m. and arrive in South Caicos at 12:27 p.m. The return flight will depart at 1:44 p.m. and arrive back in Miami at 3:55 p.m.
Miami is already American's gateway to Latin America, and with this new flight, travelers from more than 75 destinations across the U.S. and Canada will have access to an all-new destination previously unserved by a U.S. airline.
Map watching: The award for "sexiest new route" of the year goes to ...
"American has flown to Turks and Caicos for more than 30 years and we are thrilled to announce the only nonstop service from the U.S. to South Caicos starting next February. Customers from across North America will now have faster and more convenient access to this idyllic island and all that it offers," said Jason Reisinger, American's managing director of global network planning, in a statement.
Until now, U.S.-based travelers headed to the Turks and Caicos have generally flown into Providenciales International Airport (PLS), in the island's capital and primary international gateway.
However, the South Caicos area boasts some popular resorts (like the Sailrock Resort) and will also be home to a new Marriott Luxury Collection property opening next year.
The Salterra Turks & Caicos opens on Feb. 15 and will undoubtedly be popular with Bonvoy loyalists, especially now there will be a new nonstop flight to get there.
Last month, American added a slew of new routes from its New York LaGuardia Airport (LGA) hub, and now the carrier is back with two more Florida routes for the winter season.
The airline will launch flights from LaGuardia to Fort Myers and Tampa beginning on Nov. 5.
These winter seasonal services will operate through May 4, 2025. Tampa service will operate
