American Airlines is ramping up its flights to Grenada for the upcoming winter season, Caribbean Journal has learned. 

Right now, American operates two weekly flights between Miami International Airport and Grenada’s Maurice Bishop International Airport, with service on Wednesdays and Saturdays. 

On November 2, American Airlines will increase that number to three weekly flights from Miami, with an additional flight on Fridays. 

On Dec. 1, American will begin operating daily nonstop service between Miami and Grenada.
