American’s new, Saturday-only service from PHL will run from Dec. 21 through Jan 4, 2020 and again from Feb. 15, 2020 through Apr 4, 2020. The flight will depart at 8:20 a.m and arrive in Eagle at 11:05 a.m. The return flight departs EGE at 2:05 p.m. and arrives in Philadelphia at 8 p.m. American will operate the route with Boeing 757 aircraft. 

“As we work to create a route network that connects more people and places across the globe, American Airlines is excited to add seasonal winter service between our Philadelphia hub and Vail and Beaver Creek, Colorado,” said Jim Moses, Vice President of PHL Hub Operations. “The weekly flight provides customers looking to enjoy the snow easy access to one of the country’s most well-known ski destinations.”

“We have a great partnership with American Airlines and we’re thrilled with their decision to begin nonstop service from Philadelphia,” said Eagle County Manager Jeff Shroll.

American’s 2019-2020 winter season schedule to EGE now includes nonstop, roundtrip service from Chicago (ORD), Dallas (DFW), Los Angeles (LAX), Miami (MIA), New York (JFK) (LGA), and Phoenix (PHX). Visit www.aa.com.
