New Flights From Austin to Boston and San Jose Start This Spring
December 10 2019 - 8:30AM
American Airlines is giving customers a treat this holiday season
with the announcement of two new routes from the vibrant and
eclectic city of Austin, Texas (AUS), to the capital of Silicon
Valley, San Jose, California (SJC), and to the historical city of
Boston (BOS). These new routes will operate twice daily beginning
in April.
The airline is also introducing unique service in support of
special events like golf tournaments in Augusta, Georgia (AGS),
music festivals in Palm Springs, California (PSP), and the annual
visit to one of the nation’s biggest shareholder meetings with
increased service to Omaha, Nebraska (OMA). Austin flights will be
available for purchase starting Dec. 16 and special events flights
will be available for purchase starting Dec. 22.
New Austin flights takeoff in AprilAmerican’s
newest service is in response to strong demand from customers who
need to travel between one of the nation’s largest tech cities,
Austin, to the tech centers in San Jose and Boston.
“Our customers have expressed the desire for more routes between
major tech cities, and we’re pleased to respond to their needs by
helping them reach these important destinations with ease,” said
Alison Taylor, Senior Vice President of Global Sales and
Distribution. “These new routes reflect our commitment to
partnering with customers to seamlessly support their travel
needs.”
Flights will operate twice daily, Monday through Friday, on a
Boeing 737-800, year-round. The aircraft features high-speed Wi-Fi,
access to power at every seat and 16 first class seats, providing
additional comfort while commuting. With convenient flight times,
customers flying the new service can get to meetings early and get
back home in time for dinner. The airline has also recently
renovated the Admirals Club to relax before flights, and, by the
end of the year, American will have five contiguous gates at
AUS.
“We added these routes with our customers top of mind to bring
them closer to the places they value the most when conducting
business,” said Vasu Raja, Senior Vice President of Network
Strategy. “While it’s not our traditional hub and spoke routing, we
understand the importance of travel for the tech community and look
forward to offering these new flights to our loyal customers.”
And, for a quick weekend beach escape from the capital of Texas,
American will also introduce the only service from AUS to Los
Cabos, Mexico (SJD) on Saturday and Sunday, starting May 9.

Special flights for special eventsIn addition
to the yearly increase in service for special events, American is
also adding more unique flights that will make it easier than ever
to attend must-see special events such as sports tournaments,
concerts and meetings. American is adding direct service from Los
Angeles (LAX) to PSP in April, for a faster way to get to one of
the biggest music festivals of the year. The airline is also adding
new service to AGS from BOS on an Embraer E175, and upgauging
existing service from Chicago (ORD) to Augusta on a 737-800 to help
customers who want a front row seat to golf’s biggest championship
tournament. And in May, American will have the most seats to
Louisville, Kentucky (SDF), for one of the most unique sporting
events under the Twin Spires at Churchill Downs, from BOS, CLT,
DCA, DFW, LAX, LGA, MIA, ORD and PHL. American also has customers
covered who care more about investing with the only service from
BOS to OMA, as well as new flights from New York City (LGA) and
Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA) to OMA on an E175
on May 1.
“It’s important to spend time and resources on memorable
experiences, and we want to make sure our customers have options
when it comes to the most important events around the country
throughout the year,” Raja said. “We’re adding more seats,
introducing new routes and making sure that our customers are taken
care of throughout their travel journey.”
