Beginning in 2024, American Airlines will unveil new Flagship Suite® premium seating and a reimagined aircraft interior for its long-haul fleet.
Flagship Suite® seats will offer customers a “private premium experience” with a privacy door, a chaise lounge seating option and more personal storage space.
American’s Vice President of Customer Experience Julie Rath said: “We are enhancing the customer experience across their entire journey with American.
“The arrival of new long-haul aircraft and the customized seat design of the Flagship Suite® seats will offer customers a truly private premium experience on our long-haul fleet.”
The new custom-designed Premium Economy seat creates more privacy and doubles the amount of in-seat storage space.
With the introduction of new interiors on its long-haul aircraft, premium seating on American’s long-haul fleet will grow more than 45 percent by 2026.
American’s Boeing 787-9 aircraft will have 51 Flagship Suite® seats and 32 Premium Economy seats, and the airline’s Airbus A321XLR aircraft will feature 20 Flagship Suite® seats and 12 Premium Economy seats.
Members of American’s AAdvantage® loyalty program can earn miles through shopping and dining that they can use for award tickets to experience American’s new Flagship Suite® seats when it debuts in 2024.
American will also be retrofitting its aircraft, the Boeing 777-300ER, to include Flagship Suite® seats.
These 20 aircraft will be refreshed with new interiors starting in late 2024. American’s aircraft will feature more premium seats than its current design, with 70 Flagship Suite® seats and 44 Premium Economy seats.
American will also retrofit its Airbus A321T fleet to align those 16 aircraft with the rest of its A321 fleet.
American will continue to offer lie-flat seats on its transcontinental routes departing New York and Boston along with its Northeast Alliance partner, JetBlue Airways.
