American Airlines Adds Miami-Antigua Service to Schedule

American Airlines, which offers more flights from South Florida than any other airline, will begin daily nonstop service from Miami to Antigua this fall -- the only nonstop service currently scheduled between Miami and the eastern Caribbean island.

American will begin flying the Miami-Antigua route on November 2, 2008, using Boeing 737-800 aircraft configured with 16 seats in First Class and 132 seats in the Main Cabin.

The new service from Miami complements existing flights to Antigua from San Juan, Puerto Rico, offered by American and its regional affiliate, American Eagle.

Located approximately 290 miles southeast of San Juan, Antigua is known for its sunny climate, beautiful beaches, outstanding sailing and yachting facilities, and well-preserved coral reefs that offer excellent snorkeling and diving opportunities.
