Overview
- American published an expanded September–January schedule that adds 23,000 seats in what the company bills as its largest football-focused offering to date.
- The plan layers in dozens of one-off flights and extra-seat allocations tied to specific NFL weekends, covering city pairs like Detroit–Buffalo, Dallas/Fort Worth–Green Bay, and Seattle–Denver.
- American will run a temporary nonstop between Dallas/Fort Worth and Rio de Janeiro in late September to serve the Cowboys–Ravens game at Maracanã on Sept. 27.
- Tickets are set to go on sale soon, with AirlineGeeks reporting early this week and Travel Agent Central pointing to early next week.
- AAdvantage promotions launched alongside the schedule, and partner links with Qantas, British Airways, Iberia, and GOL give fans more ways to earn miles and reach stadiums, including college towns such as Austin, South Bend, and College Station.
