American Airlines Adds Light Bites to First Class Between Chicago and New York

American Airlines is introducing light bites into its First Class menu on select flights between ORD and JFK/LGA from November.

Customers can choose from two light-bite options (the menus change regularly throughout the year) and these are described by American as light morning and afternoon snacks. They are only available on board and cannot be pre-ordered.

Breakfast options are smoked salmon, tropical chia overnight oats, prosciutto and melon, a fruit and cheese plate, prosciutto and brie and apple cinnamon chia pudding.

Lunch and dinner options include curry chicken salad, Thai noodle salad, a turkey and Gouda sandwich, whipped burrata, poached shrimp with noodle salad, a mezze plate, blackened chicken and a grilled vegetable wrap.

The change is part of a wider set of food updates at American. They’ve just refreshed the selection of complimentary Main Cabin snacks, expanded the Pecan Lodge partnership to all eligible First Class flights departing DFW, redesigned Flagship Dining at LAX and have also enhanced the offerings in both the Flagship and Admirals Club lounges.
