American Airlines’ new premium Flagship Suite seats go on sale next week

Starting Monday, customers can purchase tickets at aa.com and via American’s mobile app for the inaugural flight June 5 from Chicago O’Hare (ORD) to Los Angeles (LAX) for Flight 2012, which will then return to ORD for its inaugural Flagship Suite service to London Heathrow (LHR) as Flight 98.

Later this summer, American will also operate the new 787-9 from Philadelphia (PHL) to LHR and Zurich (ZRH).

Flagship Suite® service will go down under this fall with service from Dallas Fort Worth (DFW) to Brisbane, Australia (BNE).

Looking ahead, American’s Flagship Suite seats will be available on all newly delivered 787-9 aircraft, as well as new Airbus A321XLR aircraft and the airline’s retrofitted Boeing 777-300ER.

American welcomed two new 787-9 planes to Dallas-Fort Worth on April 29th and anticipates a total of 30 new aircraft will join the fleet family between now and 2029.

The airline expects to grow its lie-flat and Premium Economy seating by 50% by the end of the decade.

Primarily utilized for long-haul international flights, customers traveling on American’s 787-9 will delight in the 51 Flagship Suite seats at the front of the aircraft, featuring privacy doors, more personal storage space with a wireless charging pad and a one-of-a-kind chaise lounge seating option with an adjustable headrest pillow.

As part of the Flagship Suite service, customers also receive Priority check-in, security, boarding and baggage handling, as well as access to American’s Flagship lounge with complimentary regionally inspired dishes and signature cocktails.

Inflight Flagship Suite service offers a multi-course meal curated to pair with award-winning wines, premium amenity kits containing an array of luxury skincare items and a comfy duvet blanket accompanied with a refreshing dual-sided pillow with cool touch fabric on one side and traditional fabric on the other.
