American Airlines Adds New Routes for Winter 2024 Routes, Including Dallas to Brisbane

For next winter, American Airlines is going “all in” on warm and sunny destinations.

The Texas-based carrier is boosting flight schedules to destinations like Mexico, Hawaii, and the Caribbean, and it’s adding brand-new service to Brisbane, Australia (BNE) from its hub at Dallas Fort Worth (DFW).

Here’s a look at what routes you can expect from AA this winter.

New and Enhanced American Airlines Routes

The biggest news is American Airilnes‘ first-ever service to Brisbane and the state of Queensland in Australia. American says its Brisbane service will be the longest flight in its entire network, served by Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft and launching later this year with an updated business-class product (the new Flagship Suites with doors).

Seasonal service will begin on October 27 and operate daily.

Additioanlly, American’s primary hub at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) will launch a flight to Rio de Janeiro in Brazil, increase flight frequency to Kahului, Maui, and resume flights to Kona, on Hawaii’s big island.

Here’s a look at the AA routes you can expect this winter:

From across the U.S., American will offer more than 105 daily flights to Mexico in peak season for 2024; that’s the most of any U.S. airline.

“American is thrilled to grow our international network to give customers more ways to escape the cold next winter,” said Brian Znotins, American’s senior vice president of network and schedule planning. “Together with Qantas, customers can enjoy more ways to explore new destinations across one of the most comprehensive networks connecting the United States and the South Pacific.”

Final Thoughts

It’s great to see American boost its winter schedule with new warm-weather destinations and increase flight schedules to popular locations. This follows the recent approval for American to commence New York to Tokyo-Haneda service that will likely begin in the coming months.

Flight competition to the South Pacific is intense, however. United Airlines offers numerous direct flights to Australia and New Zealand, including flights from San Francisco (SFO) and Los Angeles (LAX) to Brisbane (BNE). However, United does not offer quite the same level of intra-Australia connectivity that American has with its Qantas partnership.

As part of the American–Qantas partnership, American says customers can connect to more than 200 destinations across the U.S. plus nearly 70 destinations across Australia, New Zealand, and the South Pacific. That’s much more than any other partnership provides.
