MIAMI – American Airlines (AA) has scheduled new Boeing 777 flights such as its upcoming New York (JFK) to Athens (ATH), Tel Aviv (TLV), and Rio de Janeiro (GIG) routes along with Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW) to Seattle (SEA) and Cancun (CUN).
American Airlines will launch new routes from New York JFK to both Athens and Tel Aviv thanks to its advancing partnership with JetBlue (B6). The partnership and the two new routes were announced in July 2020, but AA has finally opened reservations for JFK to ATH and TLV following the Department of Transportation’s approval of this new partnership.

MIAMI – Qatar Airways (QR) has connected more networks in Africa, rebuilding its reach to 23 destinations and offering more than 100 weekly flights.
Chief Executive of Qatar Airways Group His Excellency Mr. Akbar Al Baker said, “We are proud to be the leading international carrier connecting Africa with Asia-Pacific, Europe, the Middle East, and the US, offering more flexible travel options and a global network of flights that passengers, trade and business partners can rely on.”
Al Baker noted that by launching three new destinations in Africa with Abuja, Accra, and Luanda joining QR’s network last year, “we continue to demonstrate our commitment to the region by adding new routes and steadily increased frequencies across the continent.”
MIAMI – Road trips are great. There’s nothing like jumping into the car, getting out of town, and seeing the wonders of the world – leaving your cares and worries behind and having experiences that will make for great stories to tell when you get back home.
In this chaotic, messed-up start of 2021, wouldn’t it be awesome to combine the joys of road tripping, indeed an American tradition, with seeing some of aviation’s greatest achievements?
Most fans of commercial aircraft would agree that one of the high points of aviation history was the advent of Concorde. From its first flight in March 1969 to its sad demise in 2003, the mere opportunity to simply lay eyes on one of the supersonic beauties was cause for excitement.
