MIAMI, June 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- For years the word has been out that "it's better in the Bahamas." Now American Airlines and its regional partner, American Eagle, are making it easy for travelers to visit this great resort destination with new nonstop service to Nassau from both New York and Dallas/Fort Worth.
American will operate seasonal weekend flights to Nassau from both cities beginning July 3.

"The Bahamas is a first-class tourist destination and we strive to offer the best product and flight schedule as well as superior customer service," said Peter J.
