American Airlines is expanding down under.

It will add new Australia flights to Brisbane, beginning in October.

“American is thrilled to grow our international network to give customers more ways to escape the cold next winter,” said Brian Znotins, SVP of Network and Schedule Planning.

“Together with Qantas, customers can enjoy more ways to explore new destinations across one of the most comprehensive networks connecting the United States and the South Pacific.”

American will offer the first-ever service between DFW and Brisbane.

It will enable one-stop connections to Brisbane from more than 100 destinations across the US via American’s main hub.

It will become the longest nonstop flight in the airline’s network.

American will deploy its newly designed Boeing 787-9 aircraft with Flagship Suite seats, Premium Economy and economy cabin.

The joint business between American and Qantas offers further options to fly down under with services from Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York and Vancouver to four major gateways in Australia and New Zealand.

The airline also announced new service to Veracruz, Mexico, Rio de Janeiro and resumes service to Kona, Hawaii for the winter.
