Dallas, Texas – May 1, 2025 American Airlines has introduced a comprehensive refresh to its inflight experience, rolling out a series of enhancements across its food, beverage, and entertainment offerings as part of the carrier’s continued focus on elevating the customer journey at every touchpoint.
From today, passengers will enjoy several new additions to the inflight experience, including the debut of the Tostitos Snack Box featuring Bite-Sized Rounds and Chunky Salsa, priced at $9 or 900 AAdvantage miles on flights over 1,300 miles.
Beverage options have also been updated, with LaCroix Limoncello replacing LaCroix Lime following a customer and team member vote.
The carrier also tests a new afternoon tea service on inbound flights from London and Paris. Available in all cabin classes, this European-inspired offering includes traditional tea service with finger sandwiches, scones, crรจme and jelly, providing passengers with a distinctive cultural touchpoint during their journey.
Entertainment enhancements include uninterrupted viewing on all U.S. inbound Flagship service flights, Hawaii Flagship service flights and transcontinental Flagship service flights, with First and business-class customers now able to leave their Bang & Olufsen headsets at their seats upon deplaning.
Additionally, the carrier has expanded its content library with lifestyle programming from QVC+ and HSN+, featuring shows like “Busy This Week” with Busy Philipps and “Getting Grilled with Curtis Stone.”
“This summer refresh is just the beginning,” noted an American Airlines spokesperson, emphasising that the carrier is “committed to evolving the customer experience with thoughtful touches that feel more personal, more seamless and more satisfying.”
All service enhancements will be introduced across the network during May 2025, with the afternoon tea service initially operating as a test program on select European routes.
