Martini Review of the Week: 

It’s Saturday and it’s time for the Martini Review of the Week. Take a look at this week’s top news, deals, and reviews below.

American Airlines announced that they will be launching several new routes to Europe which include ‍​​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‍nine new routes and some schedule adjustments‍​​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‍ to their 2018 winter and 2019 summer international flying. ‍​​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‍It’s likely that some of these changes are due to increased fuel costs, as the airline looks for more consistently profitable flying.
