Everyone wants to go to Italy, and American Airlines wants to be the airline that takes you there.

The Dallas-based carrier has scheduled more routes to Naples (NAP), Rome (FCO), and Venice (VCE) starting in May 2025 in time for the summer travel season.

“As Italy continues to remain popular for summertime travel, American is making it easier than ever for customers to shop, dine or unwind in their favorite destinations,” said Brian Znotins, senior vice president of network and schedule planning at American.

Here’s more on American Airlines’ Italian network expansion.

American’s Increased Italian Route Network

2025 is the summer of amore italiano for American Airlines, which will operate a total of 12 nonstop services between the U.S. and Italy throughout the season.

Included in the increased frequency of flights are 2 brand-new routes: Chicago (ORD) to Naples and Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) to Venice.

American will be the only carrier operating nonstop service between these city pairs, with schedules as follows:

American will deploy its Boeing 777-200 on this route.

Rome appears to be a particular focus for American, as it will launch a second daily service from Philadelphia (PHL) as of June 5. The flights will be operated by a combination of the Boeing 787-8 and 787-9 Dreamliners.

Hot Tip:

Look no further than the W Rome if a luxurious city break is what you’re looking for.

Travelers from across the country will benefit from American’s new routes, thanks to the transfer possibilities at its Charlotte, Chicago, and Philadelphia hubs.
