FORT WORTH, Texas—American Eagle, the regional affiliate of American Airlines, now offers low round-trip fares between Worcester, Mass. and Chicago’s O’Hare Airport. American Eagle also offers low round-trip fares for travel via Chicago with connections to select U.S. cities, including Los Angeles and Dallas/Fort Worth, on American Airlines.

The new low fares from Worcester are available immediately. Eagle offers substantial savings for business and leisure travel that requires no advance purchase or minimum stay. The savings are even greater if fares are purchased at least seven days prior to departure with just a one-night minimum stay.

“Offering these low fares is our way of providing a more affordable option for our Worcester area business and leisure travelers,” said Tom Bacon, American Eagle’s senior vice president Planning and Marketing. “Worcester customers will now have low fares to more destinations through our hub in Chicago including Los Angeles, Dallas/Fort Worth, St. Louis and San Diego with convenient, daily service from nearby Worcester Airport.”

American Eagle offers service from Worcester to Chicago using its popular Embraer regional jet. The regional jets feature luxurious navy blue leather seats in a comfortable “one-by-two” seating arrangement that provides each passenger an aisle or window seating or both. The jets also have a closet for hanging bags, large overhead bins and a spacious lavatory. Powered by two Rolls-Royce engines, the jets are among the quietest airplanes in the world and can cruise up to 519 miles per hour at 37,000 feet.

At O’Hare—American’s “Gateway to the World”—American Eagle offers nothing but jet service and uses jetbridges to board and deplane all of its flights at Concourse G. An Admirals Club is conveniently located in Concourse G across from gate G-8. American Eagle operates more than 170 daily departures from O’Hare and provides convenient connections to American’s flights to cities throughout the United States and Europe.
