The airline’ Bahamas expansion comes as the destination prepares for a Nov. 1 revamp of its travel protocols, which will remove the mandatory quarantine period and add new testing requirements

Also this week, American relaunched thrice-weekly flights from Miami to the island of Bermuda in the Atlantic. 

This month, American is operating more than 300 weekly flights to 23 destinations across the broader Caribbean region, the carrier said.
