The winter season, which runs from October 29, 2023 through March 30, 2024, American Airlines is operating a record international operation, including more than 400 peak-day flights to 117 destinations.
As a result, the airline will offer 13% more international seats than last year.
In this regard, American will expand service to the Dominican Republic beginning in early December, including the operation of more than 85 weekly flights to Punta Cana (PUJ).
