Now boarding: American Airlines elevates inflight flavor with Smash Kitchen

FORT WORTH, Texas — Customers on board select American Airlines flights can now enjoy a new way to elevate their inflight dining experience as the airline partners with Smash Kitchen, the fast-growing, better-for-you food brand known for bold flavor and real ingredients.

Co-founded in 2025 by Texas native and award-winning actor Glen Powell, Smash Kitchen has quickly earned a reputation for organic condiments and cooking oils that pair simple, clean ingredients with serious flavor. Powell’s energetic, down-to-earth Texas spirit has helped the brand gain a devoted following, making its debut in the skies a natural fit for American and its Texas roots.

Passengers who order American’s fan-favorite Classic American Sliders and Fries will now be able to complement their meal with Smash Kitchen’s premium condiments, crafted to deliver big flavor without the additives. These exclusive inflight offerings are available for domestic First Class customers when preordered through aa.com or American’s mobile app, and with the seasonal sandwich available for purchase in Main Cabin.

This partnership is the latest in American’s commitment to elevate its onboard dining experience, joining Pecan Lodge on select flights, Champagne Bollinger on all Flagship® international flights and Lavazza coffee coming on board this spring.
