FORT WORTH, Texas – American Airlines is adding three destinations in Brazil to its route network this November – Salvador, Recife and Belo Horizonte – and to celebrate the airline is offering special introductory fares to all three cities for travel through next May, as well as double AAdvantage ® miles for travel through mid-February 2009.

American, a founding member of the global oneworld® Alliance, will start daily flights from Miami to Salvador and Recife on Nov. 2, and begin three times weekly flights from Miami to Belo Horizonte on Nov. 4. American’s hub in Miami makes all three Brazilian destinations easily accessible from dozens of other cities as well.

American’s introductory fares start as low as $425* each way (with required round-trip purchase), making a trip to Brazil as affordable as it is convenient. And with double AAdvantage miles** to all three new destinations, traveling to Brazil will be rewarding as well.

Here are highlights of American’s introductory fare sale to its new Brazilian destinations:

Salvador, on Brazil’s northeast coast, is known as Brazil’s “capital of happiness” because of its easygoing population and numerous outdoor parties. The city is also noted for its cuisine, music and architecture. Thirty-one miles of coastline add to the city’s compelling appeal.

Recife, also on the northeast coast, is often called the “Venice of Brazil” because of numerous waterways and bridges that cross the city. Nearby white-sand beaches and a vibrant culture add to the color of Recife, and two ports make the city a prime business center.

Belo Horizonte, in southeastern Brazil, is known for its quality of life and cultural activities. Surrounded by mountains, Belo Horizonte offers a contrasting mix of contemporary and classical architecture. The city is also a commercial and industrial center and home to one of the world’s largest soccer stadiums.
