American Airlines has announced new routes and more flights to popular destinations in Mexico, the Caribbean and Latin America this Northern winter.

Starting later this year, American will launch service from Chicago (ORD) to Mexico City (MEX) and Queretaro (QRO) in Mexico and will also begin service from Philadelphia (PHL) to Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic (SDQ).

“As the leading U.S. airline in Mexico, the Caribbean and Latin America, at American we’re focused on growing our network, giving our customers access to their favourite destinations in the region — from the tropical paradise of Puerto Rico to the dynamic and cosmopolitan city of Mexico City, and beyond,” said American’s Vice President of International and Inflight Dining Operations, José A. Freig.

“With these new routes and additional flying, next winter we’ll operate 10% more seats than the previous year, a testament to our commitment to the region and our customers.”

American will operate more than 430 peak daily departures to 97 destinations in Mexico, the Caribbean and Latin America this winter.

“Summer travel is in full swing, but American is giving travellers a head start on planning winter vacations,” said American’s Director of International Network Planning, Philippe Puech.

“American is giving travellers more options to get away this winter, and we are thrilled to offer customers more new routes and flights to popular destinations.”
