Combined with our investments enhancing our onboard product and inflight experience, travelers have more reasons to choose American when they fly around the world.”
American will offer daily service on all new summer 2027 routes. Tickets will be available for purchase starting Aug. 31 at AA.com or through American’s mobile app.

New Horizons
Next summer, American will add three new destinations to its network from Philadelphia (PHL): Porto, Portugal (OPO); Reykjavik, Iceland (KEF); and Vienna (VIE). American will serve Porto and Vienna for the first time ever, while offering flights to Reykjavik for the first time since 2019.
American will be the only U.S. airline serving VIE, expanding the airline’s Central European network that grew in 2026 to also include Prague (PRG) and Budapest, Hungary (BUD). Vienna is an iconic city with spectacular palaces, museums, classical music experiences and outdoor activities, making it a must-visit destination. American will offer an extended season between PHL and VIE, flying through early January 2028, making it easier than ever to visit magical European Christmas markets.
With “coolcations” on the rise, Iceland has quickly risen in popularity with its breathtaking landscapes coupled with lower average summer temperatures. For adventure travelers, Iceland also has unique opportunities to go snorkeling at the Silfra Fissure, hike glaciers and search the skies for incredible views of the aurora borealis.
Earlier this year, American announced intentions to serve OPO in 2027. With the nearby Douro Valley’s natural scenes complementing blue-and-white azulejos tiles and the unique charm of Porto, customers can start planning that long-awaited Portuguese getaway.

New Routes Across Key International Markets
In addition to new destinations, American will also expand its network with more new routes to Europe. From New York (JFK), customers will have nonstop access to Amsterdam (AMS) and Nice, France (NCE).
Amsterdam is a time-tested vacation destination in Europe. American’s service from JFK will complement existing seasonal flights to AMS from Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) and year-round flights from PHL. Known for more than 60 miles of canals, world-class museums and vibrant ambiance, it is no surprise the city is one of the most popular summer destinations. Plus, no trip to Amsterdam is complete without enjoying delectable stroopwafels and truffle fries.
For travelers looking for European beaches, American will connect the Big Apple with the French Riviera via NCE in 2027. This magnificent region has enthralled travelers with its sparkling blue waters, charming cities and nearby lavender fields.
Barcelona (BCN) is one of the most sought-after destinations in Spain, and American will connect BCN with a sixth gateway in the U.S. with service to Charlotte, North Carolina (CLT), next year. With more service to BCN than any other U.S. airline, American offers the most convenient nationwide access for travelers looking to visit the city known for beautiful architecture and its championship-winning soccer club.
In response to growing customer interest for cherry blossom season in Japan, American will launch service between Chicago (ORD) and Tokyo (NRT) on March 19. In addition to providing nonstop access to one of the world’s most vibrant cities, customers can connect beyond to destinations in East and Southeast Asia in partnership with Japan Airlines.
Next year, the airline will also extend the season on two returning routes. Service from CLT to Paris (CDG) and Miami (MIA) to Milan (MXP) will both launch on March 4, 2027. Spring break travel to Europe has grown in popularity, and American is responding to increased interest in these key markets.
Bigger and Better Travel Options
London is one of the most important cities for premium travelers, and American serves as the largest U.S. airline in the market. In 2027, the airline will increase its presence in London with the reintroduction of a fourth daily flight between JFK and LHR. In partnership with British Airways, travelers will have up to 14 daily flights between New York City and London—the most of any airline partnership.
In 2025, the airline debuted the Flagship Suite seat on flights to LHR from Chicago (ORD) and PHL, before expanding to include flights from DFW, JFK and Los Angeles (LAX). Since the introduction of the product, customers have responded positively, and the aircraft will continue to fly to LHR in 2027, where American offers more premium seats than any other U.S. airline.
Together with American’s partners, travelers can craft the perfect travel menu to more than 1,000 destinations worldwide. Whether that’s a Euro summer adventure with a starter of London and side trips to Dublin, Helsinki, Madrid and Vienna, or a round-the-world journey with the airline’s oneworld partners, earning AAdvantage miles and Loyalty Points are just a few ingredients that make every trip more rewarding. AAdvantage status members can receive extra baggage allowance when traveling with American and select partners—perfect for bringing back local delicacies and memorable finds.
