American elevates onboard customer experience throughout summer travel season

FORT WORTH, Texas — American Airlines is elevating the summer travel experience with offerings that will deliver a consistent and connected inflight experience for all customers this travel season.

"Our customers are the inspiration behind everything we do, and American is committed to consistently deliver a world-class experience for them," said Kim Cisek, Vice President of Customer Experience. "We know customers want a convenient travel experience throughout their journey on American and to arrive at their destination satisfied and ready to explore — a focus we keep in mind when refreshing and creating new experiences for them to enjoy on the ground and in the skies."

When customers board an American flight this summer, they can expect to see new offerings, including a selection of new inflight meals and snacks every foodie will enjoy, Wi-Fi connectivity updates for passengers looking to stay connected, and new entertainment options to stream while in flight.

With chef-curated menu options in premium cabins and choices for the indulgent or health-conscious traveler in Main Cabin, there is something for everyone to enjoy on American flights this summer:

Buy on Board gets a summer shake up: To give American's Buy on Board program a summer refresh, a Fruit and Cheese Plate and Breakfast Bag begins flying in the Main Cabin this month. The Fruit and Cheese Plate features cheese, grapes and chocolate for a perfectly balanced taste experience while the Breakfast Bag has a healthy and delicious combination of yogurt, granola and a fig bar. The new items are available for purchase on flights (1,300 miles or more) that depart between 9:46 a.m. and 9 p.m. and between 5 and 9:45 a.m., respectively.

American is connecting customers to high-speed Wi-Fi on more aircraft than any other carrier and delivering innovative, exclusive and diverse content directly to your personal device. Customers can also download the American Airlines app for free before they fly to see what's playing on their flight. Enhancements for the summer months include:

The American Airlines mobile app helps customers conveniently stay connected and get information about their trip, connect with a representative via the chat, track bags or confirm connecting gates — and more.

On American, series and movie offerings are free and available to stream from the inflight entertainment platform straight to any personal devices. With something for everyone, our platform offers a convenient way for every customer to create an inflight experience of their own. With new options, like the new Apple TV+ Original Film Ghosted that customers can watch exclusively inflight starting in July, coming each month to our platform, customers will always find something to watch, read or learn while inflight.
