An announcement this week from American Airlines created widespread concern and confusion in the travel advisor community. Once again, as with the NDC fare roll-out, we have a half-baked, significant policy change released to the marketplace without fully thinking through the ramifications or fully communicating specifically how advisors would be impacted.
American Airlines Now Flies to What Travel + Leisure Considers the 'Best-kept Secret' of the Bahamas
09.02.2024 - 10:48 / travelandleisure.com / Airlines
American Airlines now offers nonstop service to Eleuthera — an island touted as the best-kept secret in the Bahamas by Travel + Leisure.
On Saturday, Feb. 3, the airline inaugurated flying nonstop service to Governor’s Harbour Airport in Eleuthera from its major Miami hub, which serves as a gateway for all of its Caribbean and Latin American flights. The new Miami to Governor’s Harbour service will operate on Tuesdays and Saturdays on a year-round basis.
Governor’s Harbour Airport has recently been renovated with upgraded arrival and departure facilities, which has allowed airlines like American to begin commercial service, according to The Bahamas Ministry of Tourism.
Eleuthera is a remote paradise famed for its luxury resorts and pink sands, and the capital, Governor’s Harbour, is situated in the middle of the 110-mile island. American also operates a twice-daily service between Miami and North Eleuthera Airport, which is one of three airports serving the entire island (in addition to Governor’s Harbour Airport and Rock Sound International Airport).
Supplementing the Governor’s Harbour and North Eleuthera, American also flies elsewhere in the Bahamas to Nassau, New Providence; Freeport, Grand Bahama; George Town, Exuma, and Marsh Harbour, Abaco.
«We are excited to celebrate the launch of our sixth destination in The Bahamas, Governor's Harbour, further strengthening our commitment to this unspoiled paradise,” said American’s managing director of operations for Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central America, José María Giraldo in a statement. This new route marks our next step as we continue to expand American's presence in the Caribbean and Atlantic, where we are proud to lead as the largest U.S. airline.”
American continues to ramp up its Caribbean routes, with up to 3x-daily flying from Miami to Anguilla, Turks and Caicos, and beyond. The airline also has plans for many new international flights this year, as American will begin flying from its main Dallas-Fort Worth hub to Brisbane and Rio de Janeiro later this year.

Checking a bag when flying with several U.S. airlines is, once again, getting more expensive. It’s been about five years since the major full-service U.S. carriers collectively raised checked bag fees to $30 and $40 for the first and second checked bags, respectively. Now, some airlines are back at it, making it costlier for passengers to access the plane’s cargo hold.

The Best Diaper Bags for Traveling Parents (2024)
Shortly after having my first child, with a trip on the books, I remember messaging a mom friend and asking: What do you do about a bag? After all, there was a day not too long ago when the diaper bag was an eyesore. An item on a baby registry, it was clunky and baby-centered, and it marked a short life stage, retiring to a closet a mere matter of years later.
