save for Austin<\/a>). These recent additions are bucking that trend, but once-weekly Saturday flights are hardly an indicator of a strategy pivot.<\/p>\n
23 flights with expanded service<\/h2>\n In addition to the new service to Cancun, American is boosting 23 existing flights with expanded service.<\/p>\n
You’ll find the majority of the changes listed below, but highlights include twice-daily flights to Tortola in the British Virgin Islands.<\/p>\n\nZACH GRIFF\/THE POINTS GUY<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nAmerican just launched this route from Miami earlier this month, and it’s seemingly already performing well enough to add more flights. Tortola is a new destination for American’s network (it last served the airport a decade ago) and for the Miami airport.<\/p>\n
Nearly half of the boosted routes are from Charlotte, where American recently teased plans to expand to 800 daily flights from its hub there. In total, American will offer 40% more seats from Charlotte to Mexico, the Caribbean and Latin America compared to winter 2022.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, at the airline’s megahub in Dallas-Fort Worth, travelers can expect a big Mexico-focused expansion, with more than 50 daily departures to the country.<\/p>\n

Bottom line<\/h2>\n Thanks to its hubs in Charlotte, Dallas-Fort Worth and Miami, American has long had a stronghold in the market for flights from the U.S. to Mexico, the Caribbean and Latin America.<\/p>\n
Now, the airline is building on that with more than 2,250 peak weekly flights to 90 destinations in the region for this upcoming winter season.<\/p>\n
So, if you’re already thinking about a winter escape, American likely has a flight for you.<\/p>\n
