Big news for short-haul flyers! Starting February 14, 2026, American Airlines is launching its shortest international flight ever just 64 miles from Miami to South Bimini in the Bahamas. I’ve taken the ferry before, and while scenic, it’s not always the most reliable. This new route, clocking in at a one-hour block time on an Embraer E175, sounds like a game-changer for quick getaways. Plus, it's American’s first direct link to South Bimini no more layovers in Nassau or Freeport.
I love seeing major carriers open up easier access to the Caribbean’s lesser-known gems. South Bimini’s got some charm and quiet beaches, and this flight could be perfect for a weekend escape.
