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.

· JetBlue:
Good news for those in the Nutmeg State who don't feel like driving over to New York or Boston, as JetBlue just upped their offerings out of Bradley International Airport outside of Hartford. The free chips and television carrier will start nonstop flights between Connecticut and San Juan beginning in January of next year. Even if Puerto Rico isn't your final destination, no need to worry, as there's plenty of other connection options available to other slices of paradise.

· Emirates:
There's certainly been plenty options to and from Iraq lately, and this week it looks like Emirates is adding one more. Beginning in November, the carrier will start service between Baghdad and Dubai. Specifically things will begin on November 13, and Emirates is planning to head back and forth four times a week. So if you've been thinking about hitting up Iraq before everyone else does, now's the time to visit.

· Vision Airlines:
Looks like expansion-happy Vision Airlines is at it again, and we just had to share. It looks like they're headed outside of the nifty fifty, as they're thinking about heading to the Bahamas as soon as November. If everything goes as planned the new flights should head back and fourth between Grand Bahama Island and spots like Fort Lauderdale, Raleigh, Richmond, Baltimore, and Louisville. Intro fares should be as low as $99 per way depending on from where you fly, so be sure to check them out if you need some beach this fall.

· Frontier:
If you want to go to Branson, Missouri—and really who doesn't—you might want to take a peak at Frontier Airlines. They're going to do their thing between Branson and Austin as well as Branson and Phoenix beginning this September and continuing through December. The Texas options will be available thrice a week, but if you're heading to the family friendly fun spot from Arizona the flights are only an option on Saturdays. We'll see you there! (or not).

· Condor:
The low cost carrier Condor Airlines is at it again, as they just started up some brand new options between Seattle and Frankfurt. Earlier this week they sent a Boeing 767 back and forth between the two cities, and they plan continue to do so two times a week for the immediate future. Even though the airline is more of a no-frills option, there still are a few spots available in Premium Economy and Comfort Class, but if you're looking to save some cash it's going to be normal economy for you and about 200 other passengers.
