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.

· Delta:
We knew Delta was adding London options from a couple new cities, but now the time has come. If you�re looking to head out of the country for Spring Break, or just are starting to plan for a summer vacation to Europe consider these new routes. Miami and Boston are getting nonstop flights across the pond beginning on March 26. If you want to upgrade your comfort, Delta is even offering business class seats for as low as low as $1500-ish on these new flights into the beginning of May.

· Alaska Airlines:
It is the season for summer service, and Alaska Airlines is ready to start up some new options to welcome the warmer weather. Seasonal service between Portland, Oregon and Billings, Montana begins on June 5 and runs through the end of August. It�s the same dates for another option out of Oregon�Portland to Missoula, Montana. Look for Alaska Airline�s buddy�Horizon Air�and their Bombardier Q400s to head back and forth through the summer.

· Porter Airlines:
Our favorite little airline has got a new route option to welcome in the spring season. Porter Airlines will be heading to Toronto from Windsor, Ontario beginning on April 27. They�re not stopping there, as they�re also starting up their signature service�featuring free in-flight drinks and snacks�between Toronto and Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario service on May 4. If you�re north of the border anytime soon, be sure to keep an eye out for their new advertisements as they look to fill their new routes with new passengers.

· Frontier:
We can�t ever mention them without the warm chocolate chip cookies, but they�re just so darn tasty. Grab a sweet snack up in the air with Frontier Airlines, as they�re adding three new nonstop routes from Denver starting once the weather gets warmer. New flights will connect to Knoxville, Provo, Utah, and Sioux Falls. That brings 63 nonstop flight options to and from Denver, so if you�re flying out of Colorado you�ve got plenty of choices for a summer vacation. The new flights to Knoxville start June 6, out to Provo initiates on June 20, and South Dakota is an option beginning on Independence Day.

· Caribbean Airlines:
If you�re looking for crystal clear water and sunshine look no further than Caribbean Airlines. They just got the final approval to start flying between the United States and Jamaica and Grenada. They only received the good-to-go paperwork, so it might be a couple weeks before they the finalize cities, routings, and most importantly�cost. It�s not all good news for them this week, as their application to fly between Barbados and Ft. Lauderdale as well as St. Lucia and New York were denied.
