American Airlines is making it easier for travelers to enjoy tropical getaways with exciting new flights to the Caribbean and expanded service to popular Florida destinations. The airline recently announced a new direct route from Miami to Chetumal, Mexico—a gateway to the stunning beaches and Mayan ruins of Quintana Roo. At the same time, American is increasing flights to other warm-weather favorites, giving vacationers more options for sunshine-filled escapes313.
The new Miami-Chetumal route will begin later this year, connecting travelers directly to one of Mexico’s most beautiful but less crowded coastal regions. Chetumal, the capital of Quintana Roo, is known for its relaxed vibe, rich history, and proximity to attractions like Bacalar Lagoon—often called the “Maldives of Mexico” for its crystal-clear waters. Unlike the busier tourist hubs of Cancun and Playa del Carmen, Chetumal offers a more authentic Mexican Caribbean experience, with fewer crowds and lower prices3.
American Airlines is also boosting flights to other in-demand spots, including San Andrés Island in Colombia and several U.S. cities like Albany, Burlington, and Syracuse. These additions make it simpler for travelers to plan winter getaways or quick warm-weather trips3.
For those dreaming of Caribbean escapes, American has resumed flights to eight popular islands, including the Dominican Republic (Punta Cana, Puerto Plata), The Bahamas (Nassau, Exuma), and Haiti (Port-au-Prince). More routes to Saint Lucia, Aruba, and Turks and Caicos are coming soon13.
Florida remains a key hub for American Airlines, with Miami serving as the main gateway to Latin America and the Caribbean. The airline’s expanded schedule means more flexibility for travelers heading to beaches, theme parks, or cruise ports.
With these new flights, American Airlines is helping travelers swap cold winters for palm trees, turquoise waters, and unforgettable adventures. Whether you’re looking for a quiet beach retreat or an island-hopping journey, these routes open up exciting possibilities.
