American Airlines just rolled out its brand-new Boeing 787-9, and it took flight today from Chicago to Los Angeles — with over 200 lucky passengers onboard for the stylish send-off.
To celebrate, travelers got exclusive swag bags and a commemorative flight tag, as the airline showed off its newest premium experience. From Bluetooth across all cabins to cinema-quality 4K screens and USB-C ports at every seat, comfort is clearly the mission.
In Flagship Suite®, it’s all about luxury: think chaise lounges, wireless charging, private storage, fine wine pairings, and amenity kits by Brandon Blackwood. Even Premium Economy got a glow-up, with upgraded headrests, footrests, and sleek new design touches.
And the Main Cabin? Still a win — thanks to high-end inflight entertainment and space to plug in and chill.
The new aircraft takes off just as American ramps up its summer schedule. New international routes launching this week include nonstop flights to Rome, Venice, Athens, Naples, Milan, Edinburgh, and Madrid — making it easier than ever to jet off to Europe’s most iconic destinations.
Whether you’re chasing ruins, romance, or red wine, American’s new jet and expanded summer service have you covered.
