American Airlines adds winter daily flights to these four international cities

Fort Worth-based American Airlines is adding daily flights out of Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) to London, New Zealand, Australia and Argentina during the 2025 winter season.

Not only are there new flights, but American is also adding a new aircraft: the Boeing 787-9. This plane offers the Flagship Suite seats that are a step up from Premium Economy. These new seats are sleep-focused and include pillows, duvets, slippers, pajamas and fleece blankets.

“London is one of the most in-demand cities for premium travel, and American is the largest U.S. airline flying to LHR,” the airline wrote in a news release. “This winter, American will offer up to 1,500 daily premium seats to LHR.”

Here’s what to know as a traveler.
