All of the new routes are important to someone, but — let’s admit it — some are more exciting than others. For some, it may be a bold international addition like [Qantas’ new Auckland-New York service](. Or maybe [United Airlines' new nonstops to Manila]( making it the only U.S. carrier to fly to the Philippines. Others may be swayed by an unexpected route — say [United’s new nonstop to Dubai]( a service that’s part of what once would’ve been an unthinkable partnership with Dubai-based Emirates. What about the quirky routes? Niche semiprivate carrier JSX thinks there’ll be enough demand to fly from [White Plains, New York, to Boca Raton, Florida](. And Newburgh, New York, [now has nonstop service]( to the otherworldly Faroe Islands in the remote reaches of the North Atlantic. And nearly every U.S. airline ([and Air Canada]( is beating down the door to add flights to [the brand-new airport]( serving Tulum along Mexico’s Riviera Maya. Every traveler likely has a new route (or three) that stands out to them, and our Aviation team is no exception. We’ve put together our list of the most interesting new routes coming online as we head into 2024 — and we’ve also singled out the nine new routes that we’re personally excited about. - [The most exciting new routes heading into 2024]( - [The 9 routes TPG’s Aviation team is most excited about]( - [These are the best times to buy an international flight]( - [When is the best time to book flights for the cheapest airfare?]( May they inspire you as you plan your itinerary for 2024.
