American Airlines to Debut New Route to Mexico

American Airlines is gearing up for a record-breaking Mexico flight schedule in 2025 with the carrier announcing its 30th location in the country.

Beginning December 3, American Airlines will kick off non-stop service to Puerto Escondido (PXM). The airline will offer year-round flights to PXM twice weekly from Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW). The new route, which will be flown by  Embraer 175 aircraft, will operate on Wednesdays and Saturdays. That's more service to Puerto Escondido than any other U.S. carrier.

"Puerto Escondido is quickly becoming a top destination for travelers in search of tropical and relaxing getaways, and we are confident that our new service from Dallas-Fort Worth will offer our customers the opportunity to experience a unique part of Mexico," José A. Freig, American's vice president of international, contact center operations and service recovery, said in a statement.

Located on the coast of Oaxaca, Puerto Escondido is known for its beaches, nightlife and more. It's a location where visitors can enjoy everything from surfing and sunbathing to local seafood.

Mexico continues to be the most popular international destination for travel from the U.S., according to American Airlines. The carrier has been strategically growing its network in the country.

In March, American Airlines launched new service to Tampico (TAM), and this November, American will begin the only international service from the state of Oklahoma with new flights to Cancun (CUN).

In 2024, American announced new service to three destinations in Mexico: Tijuana (TIJ), Tulum (TQO) and Veracruz (VER).
