Also: Why Iâll never book Southwest flights with Chase points the same way again [The Points Guy]( WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW TODAY Apr 15, 2021 SO MANY NEW FLIGHTS
For much of the pandemic, airlines couldn't move quickly enough to pull flights from their schedules. Planes were going out nearly empty, with only a passenger or two. With demand skyrocketing, those days now feel like a distant memory — carriers have been introducing loads of new routes every single week. I don't recall ever seeing airlines add so many new flights so quickly — it's been incredible to watch, and a boon for travelers looking to book outdoor trips throughout the U.S. See what's available this spring and beyond, with:
- [AA unveils 17 new routes, 777 expansion](
- [United upgrades 14 outdoor-focused routes](
- [Frontier Airlines details 8-route expansion](
Long-standing airlines have been adding tons of flights, but the buck doesn't stop there — two newcomers will soon hit the market, with upcoming offerings from [Avelo]( and [Breeze]( expected to give travelers exciting new route options, too. Zach Honig, Editor-at-Large
