This airline’s clearly leaning into leisure travel, giving flyers more nonstop options to their favorite vacation spots — whether that means a quick weekend getaway to the South or an outdoor escape out West.

Tickets for all routes except DFW–GUC go on sale on Monday, October 13, with the Dallas-Crested Butte flight available starting October 20.

“We have now announced more than 30 new routes next summer — more than any other legacy airline — to help better connect customers to the world. From the glaciers of Alaska to the thermal baths of Budapest, and now to the beauty of the Mountain West and the beaches of the Southeast, there’s plenty to discover no matter how you travel with American,” said Jordan Pack, American’s Director of Domestic Network Planning.

Hot Tip:

These new New York (LGA) routes are great for quick weekend trips to Savannah, Myrtle Beach, or Jacksonville. And if you’d rather head west, New York (JFK) to Jackson Hole, Wyoming, offers a rare nonstop escape to Wyoming’s mountain scenery.
