DALLAS — American Airlines (AA) is significantly increasing its flight offerings to the Caribbean and Latin America for the Winter 2024 season. The airline is adding eight new routes and boosting frequencies on 16 existing routes to provide more nonstop options to warm-weather destinations in the region.

According to the airline's release, this year's "winter schedule will offer 11% more departures and 10% more seats compared to its record-setting winter schedule in 2023." This expanded service allows AA to offer nonstop flights to more destinations in the Caribbean and Latin America than any other U.S. carrier.
