If it feels like the World Series just ended, the crack of the bat is almost back again.

American Airlines is offering more options to spring training sites in Arizona and Florida. American is the official airline of the Chicago Cubs and Texas Rangers, with hubs in both Chicago and Fort Worth.

Pitchers and catchers report to spring training in less than a month. AAdvantage members can register for prizes that include:

• A trip to Arizona for Cubs Spring Training
• A trip to New York for a Rangers away game
• Tickets to Cubs or Rangers home opener games

American operates nonstop flights to Phoenix from the home city of every team playing spring games in Arizona.

American is the largest airline serving Phoenix (PHX), With up to 300 peak-day departures this spring. Baseball fans from around the country and beyond also have plentiful options with American’s nonstop flights from more than 100 destinations to PHX – more than any other airline.

And don’t forget about the original home of spring training in Florida.

American offers more flights to Florida than any other airline, and it has a thriving hub in Miami to go to other destinations in the state. There are more than 660 peak-day departures to the state.

There are almost 1,000 spring training games to choose from in the two states.
