American Airlines is redefining the premium lounge experience with significant upgrades to dining across its Flagship® and Admirals Club® lounges. Refreshed culinary offerings deliver greater choice, more complete meal offerings and a noticeably elevated presentation — reflecting American’s substantial investment in creating a premium, restaurant-inspired experience for customers before they fly. The updates broaden menu variety, introduce new ways to build a well-rounded meal and add premium touches that further elevate the experience for both leisure and business travelers.
In Flagship® lounges, the enhancements further elevate the premium experience with:
- Expanded culinary choices: A wider range of a la carte dishes and small plates gives travelers greater flexibility in how they dine, complemented by ongoing enhancements to our premium wine selection.
- Interactive dining experiences: New action stations, including a cheese-monger cart, bring craftsmanship and personalization to the forefront of the travel journey.
Customers will also be able to order from a QR code-enabled a la carte menu featuring select premium dishes that rotate with seasonal menu updates. Following the overwhelmingly positive feedback to the a la carte scan to order options in the Philadelphia (PHL) Flagship® lounge, American has expanded this offering systemwide to all Flagship® lounges, allowing customers to order from their seat.
