As we bid summer farewell and the airlines adjust for fall, there’s a fresh batch of airline routes to excite both leisure and business travelers. Shifting gears from leisure-oriented routes, airlines are jazzing things up with better connectivity and more diverse options.
American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, and United Airlines are upping their game. They’re introducing new routes to serve the business travel market that normally sees an uptick after Labor Day.
What are the new airline routes?
Delta is broadening its horizons at New York LaGuardia, inaugurating a nonstop flight to Tulsa from September 3. The new flight is set to provide a formidable challenge to American on this route.
United, on the other hand, is lauding the addition of new direct flights from its hubs at Los Angeles (LAX) and Washington Dulles. Set to begin on September 26, these flights connect LAX to St. George, Utah—a popular region known for its stunning Lake Powell—and Washington Dulles to Greenville-Spartanburg, South Carolina. These are part of United’s broader strategy to increase its connecting flight options at Dulles.
American Airlines is bridging the gap between Chicago O’Hare and Evansville, Indiana, starting September 3. This route was last served by American in 2022, and it’s an assertive move for the airline to ensure robust domestic connectivity.

In addition, JetBlue Airways is making a rare regional addition by connecting Boston to Presque Isle in Maine’s North Woods. This fascinating route commences in September, just in time for the picturesque autumn leaf-peeping season.
Spirit Airlines is giving Southwest Airlines stiff competition in California with its new routes from Burbank to Sacramento and San Jose starting September 4. These routes testify to Spirit’s determination to offer more options and flexibility to leisure and business travelers alike.
