As part of its contract to become the official carrier for NYC tourism, American Airlines is throwing money at JFK and LaGuardia, with 23 new new flights and seven new destinations to be added by the end of the year. The airline will also partner with JetBlue to offer 12 international connections from cheap-o flights in New York, as well as in Boston, reports the AP. Thirty million in terminal improvements to the two airports is also part of the package. "We have a long history in New York, and we're going to grow those roots with new routes, new partnerships, even deeper local relationships,"declares CEO Gerard Arpey. Promises, promises—when's he gonna put a ring on our finger?
