American Airways’ route community leaves a bit to be desired relating to lengthy haul worldwide flights. Fortuitously brief haul worldwide flights is a unique story, particularly relating to serving the Caribbean. Alongside these traces, American has simply added a reasonably cool new route out of my dwelling airport, which I stay up for taking.
American will fly to South Caicos, Turks & Caicos
As of February 15, 2025, American will probably be introducing 2x weekly flights between Miami (MIA) and South Caicos, within the Turks & Caicos (XSC). The flight will function on Wednesdays and Saturdays with the next schedule:
AA3815 Miami to South Caicos departing 10:05AM arriving 12:27PM
AA3815 South Caicos to Miami departing 1:44PM arriving 3:55PM
The 628-mile flight is blocked at 2hr22min from Miami, and 2hr11min to Miami. This flight will probably be operated by subsidiary American Eagle, utilizing a 76-seat Embraer E175, with 12 first-class seats.
What makes this a cool community addition
American at the moment gives in depth service to Providenciales, the capital of the Turks & Caicos. Presently South Caicos solely has home flights, with service on InterCaribbean Airways from Providenciales (which is just 51 miles away). The area has been aiming for worldwide flights for fairly a while, so it’s cool to see that lastly occur.
Turks & Caicos is understood for its superb seashores, however South Caicos is certainly a bit extra secluded than the Providenciales space, the place the resorts alongside Grace Bay have a tendency to attract crowds.
For these into factors inns, this new South Caicos flight needs to be thrilling. For instance, Sailrock Resort is positioned in South Caicos. Whereas it’s not a part of a significant world lodge group, it does belong to Small Luxurious Accommodations of the World, and participates within the new Hilton Honors collaboration.
Past that, Salterra Turks & Caicos is a Marriott Luxurious Assortment property in South Caicos, which is a refresh of an present property. That’s opening as of February 15, 2025, the identical date this new flight is meant to launch.
South Caicos has been on my radar for a while, given its shut proximity to Miami. I’ll positively be taking this flight as soon as it launches.
Backside line
As of February 2025, American is launching a 2x weekly flight between Miami and South Caicos, within the Turks & Caicos. The airline will function the route with an American Eagle Embraer E175, and it will likely be the airport’s first worldwide service. This makes attending to South Caicos manner simpler, on condition that the airport at the moment solely has service from Providenciales.
