Dark/Light Mode (02/02/24)  American Airlines has confirmed that it will launch nonstop flights from Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) to Brisbane (BNE), Australia, in October, with newly designed Boeing 787-9 aircraft outfitted with Flagship Suite seats.

The airline also plans to launch flights from DFW to Veracruz (VER), Mexico, as well as Rio de Janeiro (GIG), Brazil, and resume service to Kona, Hawaii (KOA).

“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.”

American's first-ever direct service between DFW and BNE will take off in October, enabling one-stop connections to BNE from more than 100 destinations across the United States that currently require at least two stops. When the seasonal service begins, it will be the longest nonstop flight in the airline’s network.

For additional comfort, customers will be able to enhance their premium experience on American’s newly designed Boeing 787-9 aircraft featuring 51 Flagship Suite seats and 32 Premium Economy seats.

Next winter, the joint business between American and Qantas partnership will offer services from Los Angeles (LAX), San Francisco (SFO), New York (JFK) and Vancouver (YVR), Canada, to four major gateways in Australia and New Zealand: Auckland (AKL), Brisbane (BNE), Melbourne (MEL), and Sydney (SYD).

As part of the partnership between the two airlines, customers will be able to connect to more than 200 destinations across the U.S., and nearly 70 destinations across Australia, New Zealand and the South Pacific.

Starting 27 October, American will launch flights between DFW and Rio de Janeiro (GIG). Joining service from Miami (MIA) and expanded service from New York (JFK), American will offer up to four daily flights to Brazil.

American will also resume flights between DFW and Kona (KOA), Hawaii on 27 October. Operating alongside service to Honolulu (HNL) and expanded service to Kahului (OGG), customers will have up to five daily flights to Hawaii from DFW to choose from.

Moreover, American will add more flights to the Caribbean and Mexico this summer. In June, American will inaugurate flights to Veracruz (VER), Mexico, growing to more than 55 peak-day departures from DFW to Mexico.

From across the U.S., American will offer more than 105 peak-day flights to Mexico in 2024.
