American Airlines will offer its Flagship Suite seats on more international routes this winter as part of the debut of its newly designed Boeing 787-9 aircraft. The enhanced product will appear on select flights to London, Buenos Aires, Auckland, and Brisbane, the carrier said.
All flights between Chicago O’Hare and London Heathrow will feature the Flagship Suites starting on July 5.
Daily service between Dallas/Fort Worth and Buenos Aires will also offer the new seats from Oct. 26 through Jan. 5. The airline previously announced that service from Dallas/Fort Worth to Auckland and Brisbane will also feature the upgraded suites.
From Oct. 25 through Jan. 5, Philadelphia to London Heathrow flights will also offer the product. In addition, Dallas/Fort Worth to London will see at least one daily flight with the new seats between Oct. 26 and Jan. 5, expanding to two daily flights from Dec. 3 through Jan. 5.
Enhanced Product
The 787-9P will be configured with 51 Flagship Suite seats and 32 Premium Economy seats. Amenities will include dual-sided pillows, duvets, slippers, pajamas, and fleece blankets, with additional sleep-focused features like mattress pads set to debut later this summer on flights to Asia, the Middle East, India, Australia, and New Zealand.
