Airlines often add special flights for major events, like the Super Bowl or the Consumer Electronics Show.<\/p>\n

But typically, the U.S. carriers simply boost their frequencies or upgauge their aircraft in existing markets. For instance, during the CES, many carriers operate wide-body international jets<\/a> on short domestic hops that they already operate to and from Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

This time, however, American Airlines will launch a special, one-time-only flight on a never-before-operated route: Philadelphia to Sao Paulo. This 4,734-mile route, operating just once on Sept. 5, will mark the first time that American has ever offered nonstop service from its Philly hub to South America.<\/p>\n
