American Airlines will soon make it more convenient to travel between San Antonio, Texas (SAT) and Washington, D.C. (DCA).
United States Department of Transportation (DOT) formally approved American’s application to become the only carrier operating nonstop service between SAT and DCA.
American will launch service between Washington, D.C.’s convenient Reagan National Airport (DCA) and San Antonio International Airport (SAT) on March 2, 2025.
American will be the only airline to offer nonstop service between DCA and SAT.
Tickets for the new service will be available for sale starting Dec. 23 through aa.com or American’s mobile app.
The city of San Antonio is the fastest-growing city in the United States and is home to one of the largest concentrations of military bases in the country. Currently, it is the largest city in Texas lacking nonstop service to DCA and the largest city in the U.S. with a majority Hispanic population without nonstop service to DCA, which is the most convenient airport for travelers visiting Washington, D.C.
American’s service will offer convenient time-savings versus existing connecting flights to DCA or alternate airports in the Washington, D.C., area. Commemorating the city’s rich history and significant military contributions, American flight 1718 recognizes the year San Antonio was founded while flight 1947 celebrates the year the U.S. Air Force was established.
