American announced an expansion of its winter schedule, introducing new routes and increasing service to a number of destinations across Mexico, the Caribbean, and Latin America.
Starting Oct. 26, the carrier will launch daily service from Chicago O’Hare to Mexico City followed by new daily holiday service from Chicago to Queretaro, Mexico, beginning Dec. 18 through Jan. 5 with Boeing 737 aircraft.
Additionally, the Fort Worth, Texas-based carrier will begin daily service from Philadelphia to Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, on Dec. 18. Flights will be operated with an Airbus A321.
“As the leading U.S. airline in Mexico, the Caribbean and Latin America, we’re focused on growing our network,” said José A. Freig, American’s vice president of international and inflight dining operations, in a news release. “Next winter we’ll operate 10% more seats than the previous year.”
In Philadelphia, American will also increase frequencies on several existing routes during the holiday period. Service to Aruba will increase to two daily flights, San Juan will see three daily flights, and St. Maarten will increase from once weekly to daily service.

At its Miami hub, American will operate a record 415 peak daily departures this winter. Holiday service from Dec. 18 to Jan. 5 will see expanded frequencies to eight destinations, including Dominica, Kingston, and Tortola, which will increase to five daily flights.
Tickets for the new and expanded service will be available starting July 14.
