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.
