New American Airlines winter flights from CLT include cities near national parks 

American Airlines will add three more flights to its seasonal rotation out of Charlotte Douglas International Airport, including one flight to an airport near Yellowstone National Park.

The new flights will launch Dec. 17 and run through April 5.

American will begin offering daily flights to Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport in Montana. The flight will be American’s first nonstop service between Montana and North Carolina, according to the Montana airport.

Along with the state park, the Bozeman Yellowstone airport serves ski resorts and Montana State University.

American will also launch Saturday flights to Jackson Hole Airport near Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming and Montrose Regional Airport in western Colorado.

The new flights join three other seasonal American Airlines routes announced earlier this month.

American, the dominant carrier at CLT, confirmed earlier in September it will launch Saturday flights to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, on Dec. 17 and flights to Appleton, Wisc. and Sioux Falls, S.D. on Nov. 4. All three of those routes will run through April 5.

The air carrier made another big announcement in recent weeks. In late August, American said it would drop most fees for changing flights, following the lead of other major airlines.
