Fly New York to St. Lucia direct

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico -- American Airlines announced it will begin direct flights from John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York to St. Lucia shortly before Thanksgiving.

The flights to the Caribbean island northwest of Barbados will be offered three times a week starting Nov. 15, the U.S. carrier said. American is the largest U.S. airline flying out of New York to the Caribbean, and the new flights will be the only nonstop service scheduled between New York and St. Lucia.

Earlier this year, American announced it would begin nonstop service from JFK to St. Kitts and Nevis, also starting in November.
