Flying to North America is about to get a whole lot easier for Irish travellers with the news that American Airlines will upgrade its current summer-only daily service between Dublin and Dallas Fort Worth (DFW) to a year-round service from this October.

In a further boost, American Airlines has also confirmed that it will expand its daily summer service between Dublin and Charlotte, with the service starting earlier on March 5, next year.

American Airlines is expanding both services on the strength of high demand from passengers at both ends of the US routes and US visitors who want to also access their partner Aer Lingus' short-haul network into Europe from Dublin Airport.
