The beaches. The resorts. The golf. The Junkanoo. The conch salad. It’s not surprise why travelers keep flocking to Nassau — and now the capital of The Bahamas is set for another major airlift boost. 

In December, American Airlines will be ramping up its service from the crucial market of Dallas-Fort Worth to Nassau, raising its frequency to daily nonstop service. 

That expansion will officially take effect on Dec. 5, American Airlines confirmed.

American had already announced plans to expand to daily serviced on another route, Chicago-Nassau, also in December. 

Are you planning a vacation to Nassau? The destination is as dynamic as ever, from the world-class Atlantis Paradise Island and Baha Mar resorts to a burgeoning arts movement and a white-hot culinary scene.
