New flights from Chicago and Los Angeles aboard American Airlines

American Airlines is expanding its domestic route network with new flights from Chicago (ORD) and Los Angeles (LAX), responding to increasing traveler demand for greater connectivity across the United States. The addition of these routes underscores the carrier’s ongoing commitment to offering more domestic travel options than any other U.S. airline.

Starting Jan. 26, customers can book tickets for the newly announced services, including year-round routes and seasonal destinations. The airline plans to launch service from Chicago O’Hare International Airport to Allentown, Pennsylvania (ABE), and Columbia, South Carolina (CAE), on May 21. Both routes will be operated by Embraer 170 aircraft and will offer two daily flights each, aiming to strengthen regional connectivity.

Additionally, American will begin daily nonstop service from ORD to Kahului, Hawaii (OGG) on Dec. 17, using the long-range Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner. This seasonal route will run through March 27, 2027, catering to travelers seeking winter sun and tropical getaways during the colder months.

From the West Coast, American is introducing new daily flights from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) to two key cities. Service to Cleveland, Ohio (CLE), and Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD) will both commence on April 7 and operate year-round. These routes will be flown using Boeing 737 aircraft, supporting both business and leisure travel between major metropolitan areas.
