Last month we wrote about United adding special point-to-point routes for the college football season, and it appears American Airlines is following suit. The carrier announced five special routes for big games in the upcoming season to court fans into traveling to support their favorite teams, and will expand service on four existing routes to increase capacity.American released a video along with the announcement outlining the expanded service, and highlighting some pretty unusual routes.For example, to accommodate fans hoping to watch the Alabama-Texas A&M game, American will operate flights to and from Birmingham, Alabama and College Station, Texas, for the weekend of the showdown.The first flights will land at Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW) from Greenville/Spartanburg, South Carolina (GSP) on Sept. 8, with plenty more touchdowns to come over the next few months.Scroll down to see all of American’s special point-to-point routes and service expansions for the 2019 football season.Special Point-to-Point FlightsNew Orleans, Louisiana (MSY), to Austin, Texas (AUS)Game: LSU at TexasGameday: Sept. 7, played in Austin, TexasOutbound is Sept. 6, return is Sept. 8Sign up for our daily newsletterEmail addressSign upI would like to subscribe to The Points Guy newsletters and special email promotions.
