While the official end of summer is still a few weeks away, if you’re already making your wish list for destinations to visit next summer, American Airlines’ newly announced network expansion might serve as fodder.
American Airlines Is Adding 5 New Routes to Europe — See Where

American Airlines has several new flight options for travelers eager to see the Colosseum in Rome, or take in the Prado’s art collection in Madrid.
The carrier will add five new routes to Europe from four of its hubs next summer. Beginning on March 30, 2025, American will connect Chicago O’Hare to Madrid with a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner. Then on May 23, it will link Philadelphia to both Edinburgh and Milan also with 787-8s. From June 5, American will launch flights from Charlotte to Athens, and then a month later from Miami to Rome both on Boeing 777-200s.
Tickets for the new routes, all of which will operate daily through summer 2025, are on sale from Sept. 9.
“We’re seeing a lot of success in these core markets,” said Brian Znotins, senior vice president of network and schedule planning at American. Except for Edinburgh, the airline already serves Athens, Madrid, Milan, and Rome from its other U.S. hubs.
American last served Edinburgh in 2019 but dropped the route during the pandemic when it retired its fleet of Boeing 757 and 767s.
The new Madrid flight comes with the added benefit of connections to hundreds of flights throughout Europe offered by American’s partner Iberia. The Spanish airline serves 70 destinations in Europe from Madrid, including popular summer spots like Ibiza, Menorca, and Porto, according to Cirium Diio schedules.
The five new transatlantic routes come as American plans to return to Copenhagen, Naples, and Nice from Philadelphia next summer. Flights to the three cities launched this summer on a seasonal basis.
American will also extend its existing winter flight between Miami and Paris through the summer, and move up the start of summer flights between Dallas-Fort Worth and Barcelona, and Philadelphia and Athens to March 30 from June and May, respectively. Summer flights to Naples from Philadelphia will also start a month earlier than planned in May.

Airlines Are Adding New “Green Fares” to Flights. Here’s What That Means for Ticket Prices
There was a time in the not so distant past when airlines would slap on “fuel surcharges” any time the price of jet fuel spiked. What was worse, those unpopular levies often lingered even after the cost of oil dropped. The term fell out of favor a little more than 10 years ago after U.S. regulators said that carriers had to explain how they arrived at the specific fee for fuel surcharges, or any other fee that wasn’t directly imposed by the government. Most airlines simply chose to drop the label.
