What’s Happening?
The Times of India published a story that says American Airlines hired a sales agent in India to handle new non-stop flights between the US to India.

There are no details yet on the new route, but it might be from Los Angeles. Recently, American Airlines added new flights across the Pacific Ocean from Los Angeles to New Zealand, Hong Kong, and Sydney. So another new flight from there could make sense.

Air India or United Airlines have non-stop flights to Delhi and Mumbai from Chicago, New York (JFK), Newark, and San Francisco. Here’s how to book an award flight if you have AMEX Membership Rewards points or Chase Ultimate Rewards points!
India is one of my favorite places to visit. And I’ll let you know when I have more information about this new route!
