DFW to BNE and DFW to AKL are two of American’s longest routes by distance. American is the only airline to operate those two routes, and travelers from more than 230 destinations around the world will be able to fly through DFW to BNE and AKL. With 51 Flagship Suite seats and 32 Premium Economy seats, American is offering travelers more ways to customize their experience and enjoy premium comfort.
London is one of the most in-demand cities for premium travel, and American is the largest U.S. airline flying to LHR. This winter, American will offer up to 1,500 daily premium seats to LHR.
All of American’s flights between ORD and LHR will operate with the newly designed 787-9 aircraft this summer. Now, American is announcing an enhancement on this route as Flagship Suite seats will be available on all future flights through winter and beyond. And, through the December holiday season, all flights between PHL and LHR will see the same enhancement.
Later this summer, American will further enhance the Flagship Business class experience on all widebody flights to East Asia, the Middle East, India, Australia and New Zealand with the introduction of pajamas and mattress pads, in addition to the slippers, dual-sided pillows and duvet that are already offered. American is constantly collecting customer feedback to reinvigorate the travel experience with changes that align with customer needs.
