Sometimes it’s hard to stay on top of all the new route announcements that come our way, so we’ve complied a little bit of a rundown below. As long as you can afford the fares, this should definitely help add to your passport stamp collection.

· Qantas:
We’re not sure if it has anything to do with Oprah, but Qantas is adding a new city to its route network. The kangaroo carrier will start service from Sydney to Dallas/Ft. Worth beginning on May 16. Qantas will send Boeing 747s back and forth four times a week, but eventually things might be upgraded to daily service. The only downer is that San Francisco is losing its Sydney route on Qantas to make room for the new Texas connection.

· Continental:
The country still might have a lot of work ahead of it after last year’s earthquake, but Continental is betting that there’s plenty of interest in visiting Haiti in 2011. The airline is planning to startup some nonstop service between Newark and Port-Au-Prince, starting June 9. To begin, flights will just run on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, but as of July 1 flights will become a daily option. Everything is still pending government approval, but we’re thinking it’s a safe bet if they’re already announcing it.

· Delta:
They’ve been beefing up their presence in Boston lately, and it looks like Delta isn’t done yet. After announcing some new options—including a nonstop flight to Pittsburgh—Delta is now flying between Boston and Norfolk, Virginia. The new planes will head back and forth thanks to an extra comfy regional jet on April 1, but it’s hard to complain when you no longer are forced to connect somewhere. The flight time is also convenient to allow for connections to London through Boston.destinations.

· Spirit Airlines:
Even though there’s really no reason to fly aboard Spirit Airlines—we just can’t trust them—they are offering up a new option as of April 1. Instead of focusing on vacation destinations, it looks like this new route is pure business. The ultra low cost carrier will begin sending some planes between Chicago-O’Hare and Los Angeles. The flight back east is a redeye—you’ve been warned.

· Vision Airlines:
Things must be going well for Vision Airlines, as they already looking for another option out of Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. The new flights will connect passengers to the beaches and sunshine of Destin/Fort Walton Beach, Florida beginning on March 25. The new routes will start at just as $79 each way, but if you book by the end of the weekend you might be able to score a fare as low as $49.
