American Airlines is making it easier to get to Italy next summer with a couple of brand-new routes from the United States to both Venice and Naples.
To start, the carrier will launch flights from Chicago O'Hare International Airport (ORD) to Naples on May 6, 2025, American shared with Travel + Leisure. That flight will be operated daily on a Boeing 787-8 aircraft.
That route will complement the seasonal flight American operates from Philadelphia to Naples, which it first launched this year.
In addition, American will fly its first-ever nonstop route from Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) to Venice starting June 5, 2025. That flight will also operate daily on a Boeing 787-8 aircraft.
Similarly, American operates seasonal flights from Philadelphia to Venice.
“As Italy continues to remain popular for summertime travel, American is making it easier than ever for customers to shop, dine or unwind in their favorite destinations,” Brian Znotins, American’s senior vice president of network and schedule planning, said in a statement. “Whether reveling in the history of Rome or relaxing on a beach on the Mediterranean, American’s network will offer more ways for customers to plan their perfect itinerary.”
Beyond the new flights, American will also expand its service to Rome by adding a second daily summer flight from Philadelphia and launching its service from Miami a month earlier in June.
Tickets for the new flights will be available for purchase starting Nov. 4.
Beyond Italy, American will also fly to several other popular destinations in Europe, including planning to resume service to Edinburgh next year as well as launching more flights to Athens and Milan.
American is also upping its game when it comes to technology, signing up to participate in the Transportation Security Administration’s (TSA) PreCheck Touchless ID program and testing a new boarding system to ensure travelers board with their designated group.

In a move that was not completely unexpected in the aviation industry, Spirit Airlines has declared bankruptcy.
Spirit Airlines filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on Monday in New York. The airline will continue to operate normally in bankruptcy and says it will honor all existing reservations, tickets, flight credits, and loyalty points. Spirit also says it has already secured agreements from the majority of its creditors to restructure its outstanding debt, and it expects an expedited process that it anticipates emerging from in the first quarter of 2025.
Spirit Airlines, known for its cheap “bare fares” and fees for everything from carry-on bags to water, filed for bankruptcy in New York early Monday morning.
Spirit Airlines, whose approach to selling cheap tickets without amenities earned it fans and detractors, filed for bankruptcy protection on Monday after a string of setbacks, most recently a failure to renegotiate its looming debt.
Icelandic carrier Icelandair will launch new flights from its hub in Reykjavik to Istanbul next year, making it easier — and cheaper — to connect to the Turkish city from the United States.
Finnish carrier Finnair is set to bolster its North American presence with an expanded summer 2025 schedule, making visiting Helsinki, the pocket-sized capital, easier than ever. Due to the demand for transatlantic travel to the Nordic region among American travelers, the airline’s Helsinki hub will see an increase in long-haul flights to the US just in time for summer — which, spoiler alert, is a fantastic time to visit Finland.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has temporarily banned U.S. airlines from flying to Haiti following several aircraft being hit with gunfire there.
